This horrific video shows the injuries an Iranian woman sustained after she was viciously flogged by guards more than 70 times when she refused to abide by the nation's strict Islamic dress code laws.
The harrowing clip, which was shared on X by Iranian journalist and activist Masih Alinejad, shows an unnamed Tehran woman in her underwear showing her injuries.
Footage shows how the woman's entire back is bruised, as well as the top of the back of her thighs.
Grim purplish-red marks can also be seen across her chest.
According to Alinejad, the clip was personally sent to her by the woman, who said she was arrested after she refused to wear a hijab.
After several months of court hearings, the woman was sentenced to 74 lashes, which caused the severe injuries shown in the clip.
In her X post, Alinejad wrote: 'This video, sent to me by a woman from Tehran, shows her scars from being lashed for not wearing a hijab.
'As the regime prepares to enforce [the] Hijab bill, remember: Gender apartheid in Iran is systemic slavery'.
