The woman was reportedly assaulted, and her clothes were torn inside Tehran’s Islamic Azad University science and research branch on Saturday for not following strict hijab rules, Iran International reported. “Following an indecent act by a student at the science and research branch of the university, campus security intervened and handed the individual over to law enforcement authorities,” Amir Mahjoub, director general of public relations at Islamic Azad University, wrote on X. “Blood stains from the student were reportedly seen on the car’s tyres,” the newsletter said, adding that her head was struck either by a car door or a pillar which caused heavy bleeding.
