Woman strips to her underwear outside Iranian university

Social media videos show a student walking around outside the Islamic Azad University in Tehran, Iran, stripped to her underwear. According to students and activist groups from the university, the woman was protesting Iran’s strict Islamic dress code. A student social media channel, Amir Kabir newsletter, says members of an Iranian volunteer paramilitary group ripped the woman’s headscarf and clothes, whereas state-run Fars news agency says she took off her clothes after security personal “calmly talked” to her about flouting the dress code. But, the university’s spokesman said the woman was suffering from mental health issues. CNN has been unable to independently establish the circumstances behind the incident.
