Iranian Student Released After Public Protest in Underwear

The student was returned to her family amid claims of mental health issues following her arrest.

The student, identified as Ahou Daryaei, was detained after a protest at Asad University where she undressed down to her underwear.
Iranian authorities claim she was released into her family's care due to mental health concerns, avoiding legal proceedings.
The incident quickly gained international attention and was seen as a protest against Iran's strict dress code for women.
Government-aligned media suggest the protest was unrelated to clothing laws, but activists dispute this narrative.
Since 2022, defiance against dress codes, including the mandatory hijab, has increased among Iranian women, despite intensified enforcement by morality police.
