Iran Woman Arrested

A female student who stripped to her underwear at an Iranian university does not represent a security issue but is a "troubled individual" who is receiving treatment, a government spokesperson said.

Two days ago, a video surfaced showing an Iranian woman stripping down to her underwear to protest harassment by the moral police at a university in Tehran.

A young woman stripped to her underwear at an Iranian university on Saturday in an apparent protest against the country's strict Islamic dress code, according to online videos and media reports.

This arrest is the latest example of Iran's strict enforcement of the mandatory hijab laws, which human rights activists have widely criticised.

Iranian authorities on Tuesday arrested an uncle of Mahsa Amini, the young Iranian Kurdish woman who died in custody sparking months of protests, just ahead of the first anniversary of her death, reports said on Tuesday.

A growing number of Iranian women have been ditching their veils since the death of a 22-year-old Kurdish woman in the custody of the morality police last September. Mahsa Amini had been detained for allegedly violating the hijab rule.

Iran arrested a prominent actor Saturday after she voiced support for the three month old protest movement triggered by the death of a woman in custody, Iranian media reported Saturday.

The United States believes Russia may be advising Iran on how to conduct its crackdown against mass protests sparked by the death of a woman following her arrest by morality police.

US President Joe Biden said Friday he was "stunned" by the mass protests in Iran, which has seen its biggest wave of demonstrations in years after the death of a young woman arrested by morality police.

Iran stepped up pressure on celebrities and journalists Thursday over the wave of women-led protests sparked by outrage over the death of Mahsa Amini after she was arrested by the Islamic republic's morality police.

Mahsa Amini's parents have filed a complaint against the police who arrested their daughter for allegedly breaching Iran's strict dress code before she died in custody, their lawyer said Wednesday.

Iranian Kurdish woman Mahsa Amini was visiting Tehran with her family when she encountered the notorious morality police and died after a "violent blow to the head", her cousin living in Iraq said.

Authorities in a northern Iran province have arrested 450 people during more than 10 days of protests following Mahsa Amini, a young Kurdish woman's death in morality policy custody, state media reported Monday.

As anti-hijab protests in Iran intensify with over 41 dead and 700 arrested, a video of a man's funeral who allegedly died in the crackdown on the protests, has been widely shared where his sister is seen cutting off her hair over his grave.
