The Case of Armita Geravand; Hijab Patrols Commit Another Murder

NCRI Women's Committee

Born on April 2, 2006, Armita Geravand was a vibrant young woman, excelling both in athletics, as a third-degree black belt in Taekwondo, and as a talented painter. Her life was full of promise and potential.

Armita's life took a tragic turn in October, and her story sheds light on the oppressive mandates imposed by the Iranian regime, particularly the compulsory veil enforced on women and girls.

Armita Geravand's story is both tragic and powerful, and it's essential to bring her story to the forefront.

As you just mentioned, Armita was a youthful, energetic, and talented young woman who was going to school with her friends on Sunday, October 1.

Their rendez vous was at 7 a.m. at the metro station. Armita and her friends were walking without covering their hair.

Now, when they boarded the train, something happened and they walked back out carrying Armita with them, as she was bleeding from her head. She slipped into a coma and the regime announced her brain death after 28 days.

The official narrative is that she experienced a sudden drop in blood pressure because she had skipped breakfast. Consequently, she collapsed inside the train, hitting her head on a sharp iron edge.

But how could that happen? She was with her friends. I read that she was the one in between. Even if she fainted, her friends could have grabbed her and prevented her from experiencing such a strong impact.

Even some doctors have stated that a drop in blood pressure could not have led to such a sudden collapse and severe trauma.
