Iranian student arrested after removing clothes at university | BBC News


A female Iranian student has been detained by security guards after she stripped to her underwear in public at a university in Tehran.

A spokesman for the Islamic Azad University said she’d been found to have a "mental disorder".

But many social media users in Iran have said her actions were more likely a protest against the country’s strict dress code.

Under Iranian law women and girls above the age of puberty must cover their hair with a hijab and wear long, loose-fitting clothing to disguise their figures.

What has happened to the student since being detained is unknown.
