Iranian student arrested for stripping naked in protest against wearing the hijab
The Science and Research Girl — possibly named Ahoo Daryaei —is a 30-year-old Iranian doctoral student in French literature at Tehran's Islamic Azad University. After reportedly being confronted and harassed by Basij paramilitary forces over Iran's compulsory hijab laws, with her clothing allegedly torn during the encounter, she responded in protest by removing her clothes and sitting partially undressed in the university courtyard on November 2, 2024. This defiant act transformed her into a symbol of resistance.
