New repressive step against women in Iran
The Iranian authorities imposed a new repressive step against women days after the first anniversary of the Rojahlat Uprising, as the Iranian Parliament approved a law that increases punishment for women who do not adhere to the “dress code” imposed by the state.
Today, the Iranian Parliament approved a controversial law that increases punishment for women who do not adhere to the dress code imposed by the state in public places, Al-Hurra Network reported.
The official news agency in Iran, “IRNA,” stated that “MPs agreed to implement the law (Supporting the culture of hijab and chastity) for a trial period of 3 years,” and the law still needs the approval of the Guardian Council.
This approval comes days after the first anniversary of the killing of Jina Amini by the so-called Iranian morality police.
The draft law was proposed by the judiciary and the government in May of this year. This text, which sparked great controversy, proposes tightening penalties, especially financial ones, against “any woman who removes her hijab in public places or on the Internet.”
As of 1983, the law in Iran requires Iranian women and foreign women, regardless of their religion to wear the hijab and wear loose clothing in public places.
