Iranian Student’s Protest Sparks Outrage and Solidarity
An Iranian student has drawn both condemnation and support after she was filmed walking in her underwear on a Tehran university campus. Minister of Science, Research and Technology, Hossein Simaei, labeled her actions as ‘immoral’ and contrary to Islamic law, though the student has not faced expulsion from her university. The incident sparked significant attention on social media and prompted responses from NGOs and political figures, including French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot, who hailed her bravery and resilience in the fight for women’s rights in Iran.
