Iranian Woman Stages Naked Protest Against Strict Dress Laws

A viral video shows a woman confronting police in Mashhad, reportedly opposing Iran's conservative clothing restrictions for women.

  • The protest occurred in Mashhad, Iran's second-largest city, where the woman stripped naked and climbed onto a police car in a crowded street.
  • The viral footage shows the woman gesturing defiantly at armed officers, who appeared hesitant to detain her due to her nakedness.
  • Social media users claim the protest was against Iran's proposed 'chastity and hijab' bill, which would impose harsher penalties for women violating strict dress codes.
  • The woman's husband reportedly stated she is now receiving care, though further details about her condition remain unclear.
  • This act is part of a broader movement challenging Iran's morality police and oppressive dress laws, which have drawn widespread international criticism.
