Iran to prosecute people for saying not to wear hijab

People who urge women not to wear the hijab will be prosecuted in Iran's criminal courts without the right to appeal the verdict. This statement was made by Deputy Attorney General of Iran Ali Jamadi.

“The crime of promoting the removal of the hijab will be considered in a criminal court, the decisions of which are final and not subject to appeal. The punishment for such propaganda will be much heavier than for the very removal of the hijab,” he said.

A week ago, Iranian police installed cameras in public places to detect women who appear on the streets without a hijab.

The hijab became a mandatory element of the dress code for Iranian women in April 1983, four years after the Islamic Revolution. On September 16, 2022, protests began in the country related to the murder by the vice police of 22-year-old activist Mahsa Amini, who was arrested for allegedly violating the law on wearing the hijab. As a result, many Iranians also stopped wearing it. UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk said 14,000 people, including children, were arrested during the protests.

Iran acknowledged that about 200 people died during the protests and turned to Russia for help in putting down the popular uprising. He asked for equipment to deal with the protests, as well as to send advisers for training. The data of the Iranian authorities differ from the information of human rights activists: according to the latter, about 460 people died during the protests.
