A young woman in Iran stripped to her underwear at Islamic Azad University, reportedly protesting Iran's strict Islamic dress code. Security guards detained her as the incident, captured on video, circulated online. Amir Mahjob, a university spokesperson, stated on X that the woman appeared to be under "severe mental pressure," with speculation she may be transferred to a mental hospital. However, social media users argued that her actions represented resistance against mandatory hijab laws. This protest reflects a growing defiance among Iranian women, who have increasingly abandoned the veil since 2022 protests over hijab enforcement.
