On Sunday, Iranian 16-year-old Armita Geravand was knocked unconscious on the train on her way to school while not wearing a hijab. She is in a coma at a military hospital in Tehran.
The situation is comparable to the death of Masha Amini, the 22-year-old who died in the custody of the morality police last year after not wearing a hijab. Activists are outraged, believing the government's hijab agents harmed both young women.

Iranians continue to take to the streets in anti-government protests despite deadly crackdowns and sexual assaults by state authorities. Demonstrations began after 22-year-old Mahsa Amini died in police custody after being arrested and beaten by Iran’s "morality police" for not properly wearing her head scarf, or hijab.
