She is currently hospitalized at Fajr Air Force Hospital in Tehran under strict security measures.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">State media denied the physical assault on this teenage girl with a consistent and clich\u00e9d statement, claiming that no physical confrontation had taken place, and she fell unconscious due to a drop in blood pressure.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to this report, due to the extensive presence of security forces at Fajr Hospital, any meeting with this teenage girl is made impossible, even for her family. On Tuesday, October 3, a reporter from the state-run newspaper Shargh, who had visited this hospital to prepare a report, was detained by security forces for several hours.<\/p>\n<div
