Possibly. But I remember reading how she was attacked by a man who ripped her clothes off. Her and her family could have made the case that she didn’t strip intentionally. I know Iran doesn’t exactly deserve the benefit of the doubt on this topic but it could be that this was a factor.
The woman, identified as Ahoo Daryaei, had been harassed inside Tehran’s prestigious Islamic Azad University by members of the Basij paramilitary force.
The forces ripped Daryaei’s headscarf and clothes – leading to her staging a protest by stripping to her underwear outside the university.
Personally, I don’t think Iran would have released her based purely on international pressure or social media. Protests and condemnation on this topic is nothing new to them
That’s a relief. We all had assumed the worst had happened. I wonder how much of it was due to international pressure and social media.
Probably more national pressure considering the huge protests not long ago.

I have not seen anything saying that’s how it happened. Everything I’ve seen has said she stripped to her underwear in protest.
Partially, yes. But there was an incident with a man, or men, that led up to that.
