Files - Crackdown On Women Intensifies Under Cover Of War - Tehran

File photo - A Female Iranian morality police officer spots a woman on the street for violating the country’s compulsory hijab laws during a patrol in Tehran on Sunday, May 29, 2004. Iranian women are facing tougher crackdowns for refusing to wear the compulsory hijab in the shadows of Iran’s conflict with Israel. While news of IRGC missile and drone operations against Israel over the weekend has overshadowed other events, on Saturday, as part of what they claim is a "national and public demand," the Iranian police have begun enforcing hijab regulations on women in a new initiative called the Noor plan, Persian for ‘light’. Morality police are also back on the streets in full force, having been scaled back since the death of Mahsa Amini in 2022, with a stronger presence around Tehran’s central districts, full of police patrols, morality vans and police motorcycle patrols.

    Pro-Hijab Demonstration - Tehran

    Pro-government protersters chant slogans during a demonstration staged in support of the Islamic Republic’s mandatory hijab laws in Tehran on Monday, April 22, 2024. A crowd of supporters of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s regime gathered in a demonstration in a show of support for enforcement of the Islamic dressing code in the country, after recently the Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei made calls for a crackdown on women that fails to comply with the hijab laws in the country. The morality police patrols have doubled down on the streets as the number of women circumventing the dress code has increased since the protest movement, which was sparked by the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, who died in police custody September 2022 after being arrested for allegedly breaking the country’s hijab laws.
