Iranian Student Transferred to Care After Public Protest
An Iranian student, who was arrested after removing her clothes in public to protest security officials accusing her of violating strict dress codes, has been moved to a specialized care center, according to the Iranian embassy in Paris. The student, who is a mother of two, is reported to be experiencing psychological distress. Activists have raised concerns over her treatment, with International Amnesty noting that Iranian authorities often equate dissent over mandatory dress codes with mental illness. The student is expected to return to her studies if her university accepts her after recovery.
