The university administration confirmed the student's detention and declared that they are investigating her motives. They called her action "indecent".

According to the student Telegram channel Amir Kabir Newsletter, the student undressed in protest after being harassed for wearing the hijab. She did this after being criticized for not wearing a hijab or wearing it incorrectly. She also claims that her clothes were torn by the authorities.

During the arrest, the student was hit with her head against a door or a post. There are witnesses who saw blood on her face after this. A university representative stated that the detainee is under severe mental pressure and has a mental disorder.

Amnesty International demands the immediate release of the detainee.

In April of this year, the commander of the forces of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced the creation of a structure to enforce a strict dress code for women in Tehran.

In Afghanistan, the ministry responsible for preventing vice and promoting virtue has banned women from reading the Quran aloud and praying in the presence of other women.
