The woman from Iran who stripped at the university has not been seen since. What we know

Mahsa Amini’s ass

The Iranian woman’s crossing and subsequent detention came amid growing opposition to Iran’s strict dress code for women. Earlier in 2022, the country erupted in nationwide protests after an Iranian-Kurdish woman, Mahsa Khamini, died after being arrested for allegedly violating the dress code. During the protests, women took off their headscarves and burned them. Thousands were arrested and more than 500 protesters were killed as the authorities cracked down on the agitation.

Hossein Ronagi, a prominent Iranian activist who was jailed during the protests, has now praised the “bravery” of the student seen in the video. “The symbolic and protest movement of research students is an uprising against government repression; a cry from the bottom of the heart against the oppression that has taken the lives of people, especially women,” he said in a post on X.
