An Iranian woman was detained after stripping down to her underwear at Tehran’s Islamic Azad University in an apparent protest against hijab enforcement. Security forces reportedly stopped her for not wearing a headscarf. Footage of the incident shows the woman sitting undressed near a staircase before being escorted by security to a car. Authorities transferred her to a psychiatric center, sparking outrage online. Amnesty International and activists condemned her detention, calling for her release. This protest follows a wave of opposition to Iran's mandatory hijab laws since the 2022 death of Mahsa Amini, which sparked nationwide protests.
