Fears grow that woman arrested for undressing in Iran could be tortured in psychiatric unit
Briefly

Human rights organisations express grave concern over the Iranian regime's treatment of a young woman arrested for protesting, fearing she may face torture in a psychiatric facility.
Amnesty International detailed how the regime uses electric shocks and torture in psychiatric institutions, raising alarms over the young woman's fate after her arrest for social media protests.
Hadi Ghaemi from CHRI remarked that involuntary hospitalization of demonstrators as mentally unstable aims to delegitimize dissenters, calling it 'kidnapping' and a systematic means of suppression.
The increasing trend of transferring peaceful protesters to mental health facilities to undermine their credibility showcases the regime's blatant abuse of power and human rights violations.
