An official website affiliated with the Iranian regime’s Ministry of Sports and Youths announced on Wednesday October 11, that the relatively steady vital signs of Armita Geravand had changed over the past few days and her condition had deteriorated to some extent. The report by the state-run BORNA news agency which was removed after being published indicated that the efforts of the medical team to help the 16-year-old student recover continue. Despite the report’s removal, some state media, including khabaronline.ir and hamshahrionline.ir published the news citing BORNA news. According to social media reports, the medical team caring for Armita Geravand has told security forces based in the Fajr Hospital that since she no longer has any reactions or vital signs, she has most definitely suffered brain death. Ms. Sarvnaz Chitsaz, the chair of the National Council of Resistance of Iran- NCRI Women’s Committee said: “The state-run websites report on the deterioration of Armita Geravand’s condition, which could be a preparation for announcing her death. It is surprising, however, that the regime did not officially give any specific information about the condition of 16-year-old Armita until Wednesday night, while a week ago they said she was in a coma. “Clearly, the regime has a specific scenario for covering up the truth about Armita, considering the experience of Zhina (Mahsa Amini). Notably, the regime has evaded giving a clear answer even to the representatives and officials of the United Nations.” Chitsaz added: “On World Day Against the Death Penalty, we should voice our protest against the world’s top record-holder of executions and suppression of women to compel the regime to answer.”
