Armita Gerawand, Mahsa Amini 2.0?

Teenage Girl Hospitalized after “Alleged Morality Police Harassment” in Tehran subway

Teenage girl hospitalized in Tehran after alleged morality police harassment.

A 16-year-old high school student named Armita Geravand was hospitalized unconscious after being harassed by morality police officers in Tehran’s subway.

Iranian journalists report that Gerawand was riding the subway with her friends when she was stopped for not wearing a hijab. The officers allegedly pushed her, causing her head to hit a metal bar and lose consciousness.

The police deny this. Officials of the Tehran Metro also said that his condition is improving. The released videos so far do not show that there was any violence. But the release of pictures inside the subway in the future by city officials will clarify this issue.

The Tehran Metro CEO has denied that the morality police were involved, but the release of a video of Gerawand entering the subway has raised doubts. The video does not show the alleged harassment, but it does show her being taken out of the train by her friends and another passenger.

The arrest of Maryam Lotfi, a journalist for the Sharq newspaper who was investigating the incident, has also raised concerns. Lotfi was reportedly arrested while talking to Gerawand’s mother in the hospital.

The Iranian government has a long history of using the morality police to harass and intimidate women. In recent years, there have been numerous reports of women being beaten, arrested, and even jailed for violating the country’s strict dress code.

This incident is a stark reminder of the ongoing struggle for women’s rights in Iran. It is also a reminder of the government’s willingness to use violence and intimidation to silence dissent.

The alleged harassment of Armita Gerawand is a serious matter. It is important to note that the Iranian government has a long history of using the morality police to harass and intimidate women. In recent years, there have been a number of reports of women being beaten, arrested, and even jailed for violating the country’s strict dress code.

The arrest of Lotfi is also concerning. It is a reminder of the government’s willingness to use violence and intimidation to silence dissent.

This incident is a reminder of the ongoing struggle for women’s rights in Iran. Women in Iran continue to face discrimination and harassment on a daily basis. The government’s use of the morality police to enforce its strict dress code is a violation of women’s basic human rights.

It is important to continue to raise awareness of these issues and to demand that the Iranian government respect the rights of all its citizens.
