RT by @karmel80: Armita Geravand, 16-year-old girl from Iran, was reported "brain dead".
On October 1, Armita boarded a train in Tehran not wearing a hijab. Iranian activists say this caused physical violence from Iranian morality police as punishment for breaking the strict hijab-wearing rules which led to her collapsing, being taken to hospital (under tight security) and the subsequent brain death.
Iranian authorities insist Armita simply fainted on her own.
To many people, this story is similar to the case of Mahsa Amini - she was detained by morality police in Tehran for wearing her hijab "improperly" and died in custody in September 2022. According to witnesses, she was beaten up by police officers.
