DUBAI (Reuters) – The United State, Britain and Germany “express insincere concern over Iranian women and girls”, Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Nasser Kanaani said on the X social media platform on Thursday.
An Iranian teenaged girl is in critical condition in a coma in hospital, two prominent rights activists told Reuters on Wednesday, after what they said was a confrontation with agents in the Tehran metro over violating the country’s hijab law.
Germany’s Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said on X: “Once again a young woman in #Iran is fighting for her life. Just because she showed her hair in the subway. It is unbearable. The parents of #ArmitaGarawand do not belong in front of cameras, but have the right to be at their daughter’s bedside.”
