Iranian teen injured on Tehran Metro while not wearing a headscarf has died, state media says

Armita Geravand, a 16-year-old girl in Iran, died after collapsing in a coma following an incident with the morality police. Activists claim that she was attacked for not wearing a hijab.
Geravand's injury occurred as Iran reintroduced the morality police and lawmakers aimed to enforce stricter penalties for not wearing a headscarf. This incident has sparked comparisons to the death of Mahsa Amini, who died in custody for similar reasons.
Calls for an independent investigation by organizations like Doctors Without Borders and the International Red Cross Committee have been made to uncover the truth behind Geravand's injury.
