French Diplomat Commends Iranian Student’s Bold Protest Against Security Harassment
French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barbier praised the courage of a young Iranian student who publicly undressed in protest against harassment by security agents for not adhering to Iran’s strict dress code. The incident, captured in a viral video, has sparked international concern, with Amnesty International calling for her immediate release. The student, who has since gone missing, has become a symbol for women’s rights in Iran amidst ongoing tensions following the death of Mahsa Amini in 2022, which ignited widespread protests against oppressive laws.
