A female student in Iran was arrested after stripping to her underwear in protest at Tehran's Islamic Azad University. The incident occurred after she reportedly had a confrontation with Basij paramilitary forces who allegedly harassed her about not wearing a headscarf and tore at her clothes. Videos on social media showed her removing her clothes and later being forced into a car by plainclothes men.
Amnesty International has called for her immediate release and an investigation into abuse allegations. Iran's Fars news agency confirmed the incident but claimed security guards had acted calmly.
