According to the Kurdish rights group Hengaw, a teenage Iranian girl is in a coma after being assaulted by the morality police in Tehran’s subway. Armita Garawand was attacked for violating the Islamic republic’s hijab rules. Iranian authorities deny the claims.
This case happens a little over one year after the murder of Mahsa Amini, also by the Iranian morality police. On 16 September 2022, 22-year-old Mahsa Amini died in a hospital in Tehran, under suspicious circumstances. However, eyewitnesses, including women who were detained with Amini, reported that she was severely beaten and died as a result of police brutality. The sheer existence of a morality police is a form of brutality in itself.
