(Archyde.com, Dubai, 22nd) Iranian state-run media reported today that Iranian girl Grafan fell into a coma following a conflict with law enforcement officers on the subway earlier this month because she violated the hijab rule. She was said to be “brain dead.”
Human rights groups such as Hengaw, which advocates for the Kurds in Iran, first made public the hospitalization of 16-year-old girl Armita Geravand and published her photos on social media, showing that she was unconscious and wearing a respirator. , with a bandage on his head and apparently relying on life support to survive. Archyde.com might not confirm the authenticity of the photos.
Iranian state media reported today: “Latest tracking of Grafan’s health shows that despite the efforts of medical staff, she appears to be brain dead.”
Human rights advocates have been worried that Grafan may face the same fate as Mahsa Amini, an Iranian Kurdish woman. Amini’s death last year in the custody of morality police sparked months of nationwide anti-government demonstrations and posed one of the most fearless challenges to Iran’s clerical rulers.
According to reports, Grafan was injured following a conflict with law enforcement officers enforcing Islamic dress regulations in the Tehran Metro on October 1. The Iranian authorities later denied this.
Iran’s theocratic system has imposed restrictions on women’s clothing since the 1979 people’s revolution that overthrew the Western-backed secular king. Women are required by law to cover their hair and wear loose robes.
Iranian women who violate strict Islamic dress regulations face public condemnation, fines or arrest. However, since Amini’s death, more and more women are defying the order and going without headscarves in public places such as shopping malls, restaurants and shops across the country. Show your face.
Reports that Gravan is brain-dead might reignite nationwide demonstrations sparked by Emini’s death. Central News Agency (translation)
