Fox News
Armita Garawand, 16, is reportedly in a coma at a hospital in Tehran after a human rights group claimed that Iranian morality police beat her.
"Her present condition is reported to be critical," Hengaw told Fox News in a statement. "After two days, she remains in a coma in the ICU. Government security forces have established a secure environment at Fajr Hospital, denying access to visitors, including her family members. According to our latest information, Iranian authorities have confiscated the mobile phones of Armita's family members following the publication of a photograph of her in a coma."
Iran’s state-run Fars news agency, however, has claimed that the teen had fainted after a drop in her blood pressure and hit her head on the side of the train car.
