RFL/RE – Acting U.S. special envoy on Iran Abram Paley has expressed shock over the reported assault on an Iranian teenage girl by the so-called morality police that left her in a coma. Armita Garawand, 16, had been severely injured after being attacked on October 1 by police, the rights group Hengaw reported. “We are following news of [Armita’s] condition,” Paley wrote on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, adding he was “shocked and concerned” by the incident. “We continue to stand with the brave people of Iran,” he said. The incident comes a year after the death in custody of Mahsa Amini after being detained for wearing a hijab improperly.
