This is the best summary I could come up with:
Activists have accused Iran’s morality police of beating a girl for not wearing a hijab and posted a photo purportedly showing her in a coma.
Amsterdam-based Radio Zamaneh meanwhile cited an unnamed source as saying that the teenager was “pushed by hijab enforcers” after she got onto the train without a headscarf and that “she hit her head on an iron pole”.
The picture, whose authenticity the BBC could not immediately verify, shows a girl with short hair lying on her back in a bed with a bandaged head and attached to what appears to be a breathing tube.
The rights group also said it had received information indicating that Armita’s parents had been interviewed by the state news agency, Irna, “in the presence of high-ranking security officers under considerable pressure at Fajr Hospital”.
They also saw echoes of the case of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Kurdish woman who died in custody in September 2022 after being detained by morality police in Tehran for allegedly wearing her hijab “improperly”.
CCTV video showing Amini collapsing at a detention centre and a photo of her in hospital enraged many Iranians, and anti-government protests erupted across the country when she died after three days in a coma.
