The Facts

• A female student Saturday stripped to her underclothes outside a Tehran university in apparent protest against being harassed by Iran's moral police who reportedly ripped her headscarf and clothes. Video recordings showed authorities taking away the woman in a car.

• Personnel of the voluntary Basij paramilitary force — reportedly a part of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and a US-designated terrorist group — harassed the woman for flouting Iran's dress code. State-run Fars news agency said security personnel had “calmly” talked to her.

• However, the university stated that the woman — some media platforms identified her as one Ahoo Daryaei — suffered mental health issues and that campus security had handed her over to authorities. A student newsletter reporting on the matter said she was injured during arrest.
