Iranian Science Minister Criticizes Female Student's Public Disrobing

Incident Sparks Controversy Over Morality and Dress Code in Iran
In Tehran, Iran's Science Minister Hossein Simaei has labeled a female student's act of stripping to her underwear in public as 'immoral and uncustomary'.

The student, from Islamic Azad University, was seen in a video walking around the campus in her underwear, which sparked widespread circulation online.

Minister Simaei condemned the act, asserting that it violated Sharia norms and criticized those spreading the footage as promoting immorality.

Amnesty International reported the student's arrest, tying the act to protests against enforced veiling laws.

Despite claims of violent arrest, the Iranian government denied such reports.

The university stated the student was under severe pressure and mental duress.

This incident echoes nationwide protests following the death of Mahsa Amini, who died in custody after being detained for violating Iran's dress codes, leading to widespread unrest.
