Armita Geravand (Persian: آرمیتا گراوند) was a 17-year-old Iranian girl who fell into a coma on the Tehran Metro on 1 October 2023 after an alleged encounter with officers enforcing Islamic Hijab.[1][2] She was held in the intensive care unit of an Army hospital[3] where she was declared brain dead on 22 October 2023,[4] and declared dead on 28 October.[5] This incident has been compared to the death of Mahsa Amini and called "unbearable" by the German foreign minister.[3][2]
