\"Armita — ^{Armita Geravand a 16-year-old girl who assaulted by the repressor agents of the mullahs\u2019 regime<\/sup><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe morality police of the Iranian regime has reportedly assaulted a 16-year-old girl for defying the regime\u2019s oppressive hijab rules, as revealed by sources within Iran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Armita Geravand<\/a> (or Garavand), a resident of Kermanshah, suffered an attack by the morality police in Tehran on Sunday, October 1, 2023, and currently lies in a coma at Fajr Hospital. She is being held under tight security, with authorities prohibiting any visits, including from her family. Security forces maintain a heavy presence at Fajr Hospital, which is under the control of the regime\u2019s air force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Remarkably, a journalist from the regime\u2019s own state-run media was arrested when attempting to report on the incident at the hospital. Instead, state-run media released statements asserting that Armita Garavand<\/a>\u2018s injuries were not the result of an assault by the morality police but rather due to low blood pressure. The regime released edited video footage from metro security cameras, showing Armita Geravand being carried away unconscious. However, local reports suggest that regime agents forcibly pushed her, causing her head to strike a metal bar, leading to her loss of consciousness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mrs. Maryam Rajavi<\/a>, the president-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI<\/a>), urgently called upon the UN Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women to investigate Armita Geravand\u2019s condition and send a representative to visit her before it is too late. She emphasized the critical need for a thorough investigation into her situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nI urgently call upon Ms. Reem Alsalem, @UNSRVAW<\/a> to promptly inquire about Armita's condition and dispatch a representative to visit the oppressed and innocent girl before it becomes too late. It is crucial to investigate her situation thoroughly. #Iran<\/a><\/p>\u2014 Maryam Rajavi (@Maryam_Rajavi) October 4, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote>}
