A teenage Iranian girl, who fell into a coma earlier this month following an alleged encounter with officers over violating the country's hijab law, is said to be "brain dead", Iranian state media reported on Sunday.
According the Norway-based rights group Hengaw, Geravand was attacked by the country's morality police while she was riding on the Tehran subway without a headscarf.
The death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini last year while in police custody for allegedly violating the Islamic dress code unleashed months of demonstrations, the most serious challenge to the regime in decades, with hundreds killed.
