Iranian student arrested after removing clothes at university | BBC News

A female Iranian student has been detained by security guards after she stripped to her underwear in public at a university in Tehran. A spokesman for the Islamic Azad University said she'd been found to have a "mental disorder". But many social media users in Iran have said her actions were more likely a protest against the country's strict dress code. Under Iranian law women and girls above the age of puberty must cover their hair with a hijab and wear long, loose-fitting clothing to disguise their figures. What has happened to the student since being detained is unknown. Subscribe here: http://bit.ly/1rbfUog For more news, analysis and features visit: www.bbc.com/news #Iran #BBCNews
