Police in Iran install cameras in public places to identify unveiled women
The veil has been compulsory in Iran since 1983 and failure to wear it is punishable by jail. In recent months, thousands of Iranian women have dared to take it off in protest at the death of the young Masha Amini at the hands of the Police after being arrested for wearing the veil improperly.

The Iranian Police announced this Saturday that is installing cameras in public places to identify women who do not wear the veil, a new measure aimed at imposing the use of this mandatory garment in the Islamic country.
“In an innovative measure to avoid tensions and conflicts in the application of the veil law, the Police will use smart tools and cameras in public places and roads to identify people (not wearing the hijab)“, said the security body in a statement cited by the Tasnim agency.
The security body has explained that messages will be sent to women who do not comply with the veil law and chastity, “informing them of the consequences.” “The Police will not tolerate any individual or collective behavior contrary to the law,” according to the statement.
The headscarf has been compulsory in Iran since 1983 and the lack of its use is punishable by jail. Many Iranian women have stopped wearing the mandatory Islamic veil as a form of protest and civil disobedience since the death in September of Mahsa Amini after being arrested precisely for wearing the hijab poorly.
