Iranian Student's Protest Sparks Global Outcry

Ahou Daryaei's public protest against hijab laws leads to her detention and transfer to a psychiatric facility, drawing international condemnation.

Ahou Daryaei, a student at Tehran's Azad University, protested by stripping to her underwear in response to harassment over hijab laws.
Iranian authorities claim Daryaei suffers from psychological issues and have transferred her to a 'specialised care centre', raising concerns of indefinite confinement.
Amnesty International and activists, including Nobel laureate Shirin Ebadi, have demanded her immediate release, questioning the mental health allegations.
The protest has reignited global attention on Iran's strict dress code laws, echoing the 'Woman, Life, Freedom' movement sparked by Mahsa Amini's death in 2022.
Iran's science minister labeled Daryaei's actions as 'immoral', while international supporters view her as a symbol of resistance against oppressive policies.
