Iranian Student's Protest Sparks Global Concern Over Her Detention

Ahou Daryaei's act of defiance against Iran's dress code has led to fears of her forced psychiatric confinement.

Ahou Daryaei, a student at Tehran's Islamic Azad University, protested by stripping to her underwear after being harassed for her attire.
Her protest has become a symbol of resistance against Iran's compulsory hijab laws, reminiscent of the 2022 protests following Mahsa Amini's death.
Authorities have claimed Daryaei suffers from mental issues, raising concerns about her possible involuntary psychiatric confinement.
International human rights organizations, including Amnesty International, have called for her immediate release and protection from ill-treatment.
The incident has drawn significant international attention, with French officials closely monitoring the situation and expressing support for Daryaei.
