From the start, the Iranian authorities denied any police intervention against young Armita for not wearing the Islamic veil. The video of her entering the metro station until her fall on the platform taken by surveillance cameras was even published by the authorities as proof that she had a fall after a voltage drop.
But this official thesis did not convince opponents of the regime who denounced police intervention because Armita did not wear the obligatory veil. The daily reformist Ham Mihan called on the authorities to “ allow independent media to investigate » on this matter in order to “ convince public opinion “. MP Ahmad Alirezabeigui estimated on Wednesday that Parliament “ had to intervene ” And ” question the Minister of the Interior » on the incident, judging the case “ important “.
