Teenage Iranian girl Armita Geravand dies weeks after train incident

A teenage Iranian girl has died weeks after suffering a serious injury during an incident at a Tehran metro station, where the Iranian government and activists have offered differing accounts of what exactly happened.
Armita Geravand, 16, died in a hospital in the capital after 28 days of being in the intensive care unit, state media confirmed on Saturday.
The incident happened on October 1 when Geravand, who was not wearing the mandatory headscarf required by Iranian law, entered the Shohada metro station.
CCTV footage released by Iranian authorities showed Geravand entering the station, going into a small shop inside, and then getting into a metro car with two other school friends.
The footage, this time from outside the metro car where the incident took place, then shows one of the friends backing up a moment after entering the metro car, and it appears someone has fallen. Geravand is then seen being carried out of the car completely unconscious.
No footage was shown from inside the metro car as authorities said there were no cameras inside.
