A teenage Iranian girl reportedly passed away in a military hospital after allegedly being assaulted by police for allegedly disobeying the Islamic Republic’s strict dress code.

Armita Geravand, 16, was allegedly attacked by state police officers Oct. 1 at a Tehran subway station for allegedly not wearing the headscarf women residing in the country are required by law to don, CBS News reported. Geravand died after 28 days in an intensive care unit at the hospital in the capital.

Geravand’s father was quoted saying his child had “no hope of recovery” after learning the teen was “likely brain dead,” according to the outlet. (RELATED: ‘Woman, Life, Freedom’: Blinken Announces New Sanctions Against Iran Related To Nationwide Protests, Deaths Last Year)
