Not sick

There’s a surprise.

Ahoo Daryaei released without charge

An Iranian woman will not face charges after she stripped to her underwear in an apparent anti-hijab protest at a university in Tehran, Iranian authorities say.

Earlier in November, video went viral on social media capturing the moment the woman, named by BBC Persian as Ahoo Daryaei, undressed on a university campus before being forcibly detained.

A spokesperson for the Iranian judiciary said the woman had been treated in hospital and returned to her family.

Iranian authorities at the time said Ms Daryaei was “sick” and had been taken to a psychiatric ward. It is not the first time Iranian authorities have branded a woman protesting compulsory hijab laws with a mental illness.

Yeah sure. Women thinking we are people = mental illness. What else would it be?

    It’s not good, but it’s a hell of a lot better than being stoned to death.

    I’m surprised they don’t consider the “mental illness” to be criminal.

    Last night I was lying in bed and suddenly had the horrible thought “what if they decide to start ‘treating’ these ‘mentally-ill women who refuse to wear hijabs’ with lobotomies?”

    I wouldn’t put it past them. Egads, I hope they don’t think of that.
