  1. Obviously you and I and governments know this is all wrong to harm anyone for not wearing a scarf
    Why are they allowing governments to behave like this,
    When governments have the means to go in covertly and take out this type of government ?
    So the rest of society can live in peace without being forced to live under dictatorships of stupidity .

  2. But there were other ladies with no hijab on.

  3. All Muslims nations attack israel and burn tel aviv to the ground save thr innocent

  4. The usa is much much worse lol

  5. Not sure which side is telling the truth

  6. Sick people… thanks God I live in a free country!

  7. Religion of all forms is the real devil to human race.

  8. If you can't verify the authenticity then why would you publish it? Journalistic garbage.

  9. People in the USA need to pay attention if the Republican Party ever come to win again things like this will be happening all over the USA.

  10. Edited before it was released. A weak, non-informative attempt to counter public reaction. Live video inside the hospital with doctors and her parents just after the attack, would’ve been much more helpful and reassuring. Each public effort makes the government look guilty and cruel.

  11. Backwards sand people.

  12. It is extremely racist and evil of the western media to cover and share this without evidence. They are always trying to put Iran in the bad in front of the world, but the Western media didn't cover the terrorist attack in Iran that killed innocent Iranian lives and happened this year.
     
    Where are the police officers in this situation?  the western media always trying to create hatred and chaos between people?

  13. Iran's Morality Police sounds like the American self-righteous Karen phenomena; you know…dumb!

  14. Did she die? If not, maybe she’ll be well enough to shed light on what happened.

  15. The only way that women in Iran will be freed from wearing the hijab is dropping a nuke on that country.

  16. islam: an excuse for men to crush a teen girls skull for not covering her hair

  17. What kind of a country is it where you are assaulted for such a reason, These cowards will be destroyed by Allah very soon, God is Good, not Evil
