Iran's science minister, Hossein Simaei, criticized a female student from Islamic Azad University for stripping to her underwear in protest, calling her actions “immoral” and “uncustomary.” Video footage showed the student briefly walking around campus and the street, sparking intense debate online. Simaei stated she hadn’t been expelled but warned against encouraging such acts. Amnesty International claimed she was violently arrested after protesting against Iran’s strict dress codes. Government officials denied excessive force, attributing her actions to mental distress. The incident follows the nationwide protests over Mahsa Amini’s 2022 death after being detained for violating Iran's dress code.
