The death of Armita Geravand, who had been in a coma for weeks, has the potential to reignite popular anger in Iran, particularly among women who defy the mandatory headscarf law. The exact circumstances of her injury and death remain unclear, but activists abroad suspect she may have been attacked for not wearing the hijab.
The death of Armita Geravand comes after her being in a coma for weeks in Tehran and after the one-year anniversary of the death of Mahsa Amini and the nationwide protests it sparked.
What happened in the few seconds after Armita Geravand entered the train on Oct. 1 remains in question. The Associated Press has not been able to confirm the exact circumstances of what caused Geravand’s injuries. “Unfortunately, the brain damage to the victim caused her to spend some time in a coma and she died a few minutes ago,” the IRNA report read. “According to the official theory of Armita Geravand doctors, after a sudden drop in blood pressure, she suffered a fall, a brain injury, followed by continuous convulsions, decreased cerebral oxygenation and a cerebral edema.”
