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.
