Amnesty International Calls for Release of Ahoo Daryaei, Arrested for Protesting Islamic Dress Code
Amnesty International is calling for the immediate release of Ahoo Daryaei, a woman who was reportedly violently arrested after stripping off to protest Iran’s strict Islamic dress code.
According to reports from Sky News, Daryaei staged a bold protest against the oppressive dress code by removing her headscarf in a public place. However, instead of being met with understanding or support, she was met with violence and subsequently arrested.
Amnesty International has condemned the actions of the Iranian authorities, stating that Daryaei’s arrest is a clear violation of her right to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly. They are calling for her immediate release and for the charges against her to be dropped.
The incident has sparked outrage and renewed calls for the Iranian government to loosen its grip on women’s rights and allow them the freedom to dress as they choose. Many are expressing solidarity with Daryaei and demanding justice for her unjust treatment.
As the situation unfolds, Amnesty International and other human rights organizations continue to monitor the case closely and push for Daryaei’s release. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
