    Moralty police are the ones braindead here. Having a blank check to harass and kill random women as young as her isn't a job. A bunch of pricks got a sweet enabling deal to do whatever they want like an upper caste while providing nothing even to their regime. I don't know Iran's political landscape, yet it seems like peak corruption and banditism more than anything else. This gang, existing for no reason, can pick on someone's daughter to rob or rape her, ending up like that, with a tiny veil of 'she wore her clothes wrong'. I guess, not one of her attackers were faithful muslims, or religious fanatics, just stupid thugs using their surprisingly undefined position.

    Heyo, dear elites, the beast you put onto streets would fuck and kill your offsprings as well, by mistake. Is that fear a climate you want your privileged kids to grow in, in a walled garden? It would be too late when that's going to happen.

    DUBAI, Oct 22 (Reuters) - A teenage Iranian girl, who fell into a coma earlier this month following an alleged encounter with officers over violating the country's hijab law, is said to be "brain dead", Iranian state media reported on Sunday.

    Right groups such as Kurdish-Iranian Hengaw were the first to make Armita Geravand's hospitalisation public, publishing photos of the 16-year-old girl on social media that showed her unconscious with a respiratory tube and bandage over her head, visibly on life support.

    There have been concerns by rights advocates that Geravand might face the same fate as Mahsa Amini, whose death in the custody of morality police last year sparked months of nationwide anti-government protests that posed one of the boldest challenges to Iran's clerical rulers.

    Iran has denied that Geravand was hurt after a confrontation on Oct. 1 with officers enforcing the mandatory Islamic dress code in the Tehran metro.

    Iran's theocratic establishment has imposed restrictions on women's dress since a popular revolution deposed the secular and Western-backed Shah in 1979.

    Defying the strict Islamic dress code, more women have been appearing unveiled in public places such as malls, restaurants and shops across the country since Amini's death.
