A female college student was arrested in Iran on Sunday for stripping down and strutting around campus in her underwear in apparent protest over allegedly being assaulted for not wearing a hijab.
A now-viral video shows the young woman in a bra and panties in the courtyard of Tehran’s Azad University, while other footage shows her soon being shoved by men into a car and being driven away.
The unidentified student was protesting security forces who had ripped her clothing earlier while confronting her for not wearing a headscarf, which Iranian law demands for all women in public, Iran International reported.
After the woman stripped in protest, she was filmed from above sitting on a wall — with one man approaching her and making a phone call before casually walking away as bemused students looked on.
A university rep said, “Campus security intervened and handed the individual over to law enforcement authorities,” blaming the incident on “an indecent act by a student.”
An online student group claimed the woman also was assaulted during her arrest by plainclothes security forces, leaving her bleeding heavily after her head was struck, possibly against a pillar or the door of the car.
“Blood stains from the student were reportedly seen on the car’s tires,” the online groups said, according to Iran International.
She was taken to a police station and then admitted to a mental-health facility, the report said — with the university official she had suffered “severe psychological distress” before the incident.
The underwear-clad protester has already become an icon for those decrying the Islamic Republic’s brutal treatment of those defying its rules.
A key UN official shared concerns about the student’s arrest.

She is a very brave woman. And she wasn’t arrested for being fat and ugly.. just saying.
Pray for her.
The officials will probably murder her.
Democrats, who claim to believe in women’s rights, gave this regime $billions.
Perhaps she is a direct descendant of Lady Godiva?
No doubt about that.
Unfortunately.
Pray for her.
Reminds me of that Chinese guy who stood in front of that line of tanks.
Probably ended up the same way for her as well.
I guess she showed them.
Exactly.
At the same time, I’ve seen pics of American women voting dressed as “Handmaid” in a sarcastic statement of “protest”. Supporting, no doubt, the Kamala Harris regieme that funded Iran.
Sadly, I think Orwell was prescient in “1984”:
“It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers-out of unorthodoxy.”
That was a very brave act given the Regime in Iran. It may very well be her last act given the Regime in Iran.
That took some courage!
Oh ha ha ha so funny
Nice bod!
She’s (soon) dead, Jim.
Recently I watched several YouTube videos of people walking around Tehran in the mall and out on the streets in the nice area. Many women were not wearing the head covering and nobody said a word.
A philosophical question.
Why is taking off your clothes and nakedness a way of protesting?
Historically - Joan of Arc. others?
just wondering. serous question

LORD have mercy on her! She is in the hands of animals!
“Iran student strips, walks around in underwear in apparent protest of strict hijab laws leading to allegedly violent DEATH!”
There fixed it...
