Armita Garawand was attacked on Sunday by regime's police officers, according to the Kurdish-focused rights group Hengaw.
 Germany’s senior diplomat strongly criticised the incident, terming it as “unacceptable.” Following the incident, the rights group also demanded an international investigation into the confrontation incident on the Tehran metro.

According to the Kurdish-focused rights organization Hengaw, 16-year-old Armita Garawand was assaulted by female police officers on Sunday.

Acting US special envoy on Iran Abram Paley shared on X that Washington was “shocked and concerned about reports that Iran’s so-called morality police have assaulted” the teenager.

“We are following news of her condition. We continue to stand with the brave people of Iran and work with the world to hold the regime accountable for its abuses,” Paley added.

The Norway-based NGO Iran Human Rights has called for an “independent international investigation to uncover the full details” of the incident. They accuse Tehran of having “a long history of distorting facts and concealing evidence related to their crimes.”
