Report: Iranian student who stripped in hijab protest forced into psychiatric treatment

According to a report by Ynet citing a close friend, 32-year-old Ahoo Daryaei has been subjected to security crackdowns and forced medical treatment following her November 2024 protest at Islamic Azad University. The source alleges that Daryaei was beaten during her arrest and forcibly hospitalized. The report claims that authorities pressured her family and former husband to label her actions as the result of mental health issues. The source states that Daryaei remains under surveillance and is required to receive monthly injections of antipsychotic medication to avoid further detention or torture. Daryaei reportedly denies suffering from any mental illness, viewing the psychiatric treatment as a state-imposed tool to suppress dissent and cover up the embarrassment caused by her protest.
