This is the best summary I could come up with:
A teenage Iranian girl who fell into a coma after an alleged altercation with morality police is now considered to be “brain dead”, state media say.
Many Iranians have drawn parallels with the case of Mahsa Amini, a young woman who died in custody in September 2022 after being detained by morality police in Tehran for allegedly wearing her hijab “improperly”.
CCTV footage released by Iranian authorities shows Armita Geravand, with her hair uncovered, boarding a train at Tehran’s Shohada station with two other girls.
Human rights group Hengaw, which focuses on Iran’s Kurdish ethnic minority, alleged that Armita was “physically attacked by authorities… for what they perceived as non-compliance with the compulsory ‘hijab’”.
In a separate development on Sunday, a Revolutionary Court handed lengthy prison terms to two female journalists who reported on Mahsa Amini’s death last year.
Ms Hamedi, a journalist with the Sharq newspaper, photographed Mahsa Amini’s father and grandmother hugging each other in hospital after learning of her death.
