Iran Installs Nationwide Camera Surveillance to Enforce Strict Hijab Law

  • New measures will identify and penalize women in public who are not wearing head coverings and loose-fitting clothing as required by Iran's Islamic dress code.
  • Warnings and fines will be issued to violators with escalating consequences for repeat offenders.
  • The camera rollout aims to curb resistance to mandatory hijab rules which Iranian authorities claim undermine the country's spiritual values and security.
  • Rights groups condemn the policy as a severe violation of women's rights and an invasion of privacy.
