- Armita Garawand, a 16-year-old girl in Tehran, was allegedly assaulted by female police officers on the metro, causing severe injuries. She is currently receiving treatment at Tehran's Fajr hospital under strict security measures.
- Hengaw, a human rights NGO, accuses the morality police of physically assaulting Armita for non-compliance with the compulsory hijab. The Center for Human Rights in Iran has reported increased violence and discrimination against women due to the reactivation of forced-veiling police patrols.
- Iranian authorities deny the allegations, claiming Armita fainted due to low blood pressure and there was no involvement of security forces. However, her family's visitation rights have been restricted, and a female journalist was briefly detained while reporting on the case.
