Iranian teenager Armita Garawand, an ethnic Kurd, tragically passed away on Saturday, a month after falling into a coma following an incident on Tehran’s metro. In contrast, rights groups contended that she had been critically wounded during an alleged assault by members of Iran’s morality police. Iranian authorities, however, denied their involvement and said that Amrita “fainted” because of low blood pressure. Take a look: VIDEO: 16-year-old Armita Garawand was reportedly assaulted by Iran’s morality police. Last year, Iranian police killed Masha Amini in a similar incident, sparking nationwide protests.
