Shocking footage has emerged of a teenage girl being attacked by a crowd of men for dressing ‘immodestly’ at a motorcycle event in Iraq. 

The 17-year-old girl became the target of a male mob who accused her of distracting attention from the riders at a motorcycle racing event in Iraq’s Kurdistan region.

Video filmed and shared by a racegoer in Sulaymaniyah showed the teenager attempting to walk away from the area before being forced to run as a crowd of men pursued her.

The girl, who is an Iranian national, was wearing a black vest top with a cardigan and a skirt.

This comes as female demonstrators in Iran teared off their hijabs, cut off their hair and battled officers in September last year because a woman died after being attacked for not wearing the veil.

An Iranian woman was jailed for 10 years for ‘encouraging prostitution’ after she removed her headscarf at a protest last year.

She is seen holding a tissue to her face whilst walking away from the large mob of men and boys who continue to shout and record her on their phones.

Other videos posted on TikTok showed her being encircled by bikers on the track as spectators cheered them on.

The site is said to be a famous spot for racing events that often have female participants, and the girl, identified as L Tehrani, is reportedly a regular at the track.

Men at this specific event, on December 30, demanded that women be excluded, according to a report by Kurdistan’s Draw Media.

The girl was accompanied a male friend, named as A Khanaq, who attempted to intervene and escort her to safety.

But he was instead beaten and stabbed by the crowd according to a report in The National News.

Sixteen men have been arrested by by Sulaymaniyah police in connection with the incident and multiple knives and swords were also recovered from the suspects’ possession.
