An Iranian teenage girl injured weeks ago in a mysterious incident on Tehran’s Metro while not wearing a headscarf has died, state media reported Saturday.
The death of Armita Geravand comes after her being in a coma for weeks in Tehran and after the one-year anniversary of the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini which sparked nationwide protests at the time.
Geravand’s Oct. 1 injury and now her death threaten to reignite that popular anger, particularly as women in Tehran and elsewhere still defy Iran’s mandatory headscarf, or hijab, law as a sign of their discontent with Iran’s theocracy.
I don’t get what’s so mysterious. The morality police saw her and clubbed her head until she was in a coma then the resulting brain bleed killed her. Case closed.
Iranian teen
injured on Tehran Metro while not wearing a headscarf has died, state media sayswas murdered for not wearing headscarf but AP can’t quite bring itself to call it murderFixed it
AP reported what happened to the extent of their knowledge, giving you enough information to come to that conclusion as a reader. There’s plenty of other sources to find sensationalized headlines.
I hate how casual and commonplace being anti-journalism has become.

How old was the virgin mary?
Yes, many of us agree that Christianity is also not a model religion (if there even is such a thing). Not sure what the point is in bringing that up in a discussion about an Iranian teen being murdered for not wearing a hijab.
The point is whataboutism.

Im just saying this is not unique to Islam. There is incest in the Bible among other things. To paint Islam as the worst of the religions does not feel productive to me. They all can eat shit
There’s only one religion where a rapists, pedophile, warlord is held up as a role model.
The Catholic Church has left the chat room.
P.S. Not religious, fuck em’ all
I don’t know of anyone glorifying what priests did to children or how the church covered it up. None of the priests that committed those acts were were held up as models of the church.
over a headscarf. just horrible.
This is the best summary I could come up with:

They also demanded an independent investigation by the United Nations’ fact-finding mission on Iran, citing the theocracy’s use of pressure on victims’ families and state TV’s history of airing hundreds of coerced confessions.

The Hengaw Organization for Human Rights, which reports on abuses in Iran’s western Kurdish region and earlier published a photograph of Geravand in a coma, renewed its calls Saturday for an independent international investigation citing “the practice of the Islamic Republic in concealing the truth.”

Geravand’s injury also came as Iran has put its morality police — whom activists implicate in Amini’s death — back on the street, and as lawmakers push to enforce even stricter penalties for those flouting the required head covering.

Meanwhile, imprisoned Iranian activist Narges Mohammadi won the Nobel Peace Prize earlier this month in recognition of her tireless campaigning for women’s rights and democracy, and against the death penalty.
