Iran Woman Protest News: The mysterious Iranian woman - who created a sensation over the Internet after she stripped at the Tehran University campus two days ago in an open defiance to the strict dress code imposed by Islamic fundamentalists in the country - remained untraceable after being arrested by the notorious morality police. A video showed the woman in a bikini, walking at the campus of Islamic Azad University amid bypasser's surprising gazes.
In the video, a man, probably a university guard could be seen talking to her before she was forcibly taken away in a police van and remained unreachable since.
Who's The Iran Woman
With the growing viewership of the video of the daring protest against the fundamentalist regime, users are searching for her identity. However, the true credentials of the brave feminist icon were still unknown.
While social media posts claimed that the woman was stripped in protest of the strict restrictions imposed by the cleric against women in Iran, the University administration claimed that she was mentally unstable.
Amir Mahjob, spokesperson for the university, claimed that the woman was a mother of two and separated from her husband recently.

Multiple Claims Surfaces
Meanwhile, many on social media claimed to know her story. An Iranian student social media channel, Amir Kabir newsletter, claimed that the woman stripped her clothes after she was harassed by Basij, a volunteer paramilitary force, for not covering her properly.
Meanwhile, Amnesty International said that she was violently arrested after she refused to follow the "abusive enforcement" of the dress code.
Meanwhile, an Iranian news outlet Fars said that two security officials 'gently' spoke to her and asked her to follow the code.
Where is she now?
The University said that the woman was politely asked to come by the security officials as she was in "violation of the privacy of the students and professors."
No official intimation was provided by the police or the University about her whereabouts. However, the student newsletter claimed that she was brutally thrashed in captivity and remained out of contact.
