Iranian police monitor women with drones and cameras to ensure they wear the veil.
Iranian authorities also developed an app to report women who don't wear the hijab
The Islamic State of Iran intensifies the use of electronic surveillance and access to public data to identify women who refuse to wear the mandatory veil in public spaces.
Meanwhile, the more Islamic sectors are pushing to harden the penalties against those who defy this nefarious regulation, according to a United Nations report published on Friday.
The findings of the Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on the Islamic Republic of Iran arise after determining, last year, that the Iranian theocracy was responsible for the physical violence that caused the death of Mahsa Amini.

This event sparked nationwide protests against the laws imposing the hijab, initiating a wave of public disobedience that persists despite threats of violent detention and imprisonment.
"Two and a half years after the start of the protests in September 2022, women and girls in Iran continue to suffer systematic discrimination, both in law and in practice, permeating all aspects of their lives, particularly regarding the enforcement of the mandatory hijab," the report states.
The State increased state surveillance in an apparent effort to ensure that businesses and citizens comply with the hijab regulation, promoting its use as a supposed "civic responsibility."
Among the measures implemented by the Iranian Islamic dictatorship is the use of "drone aerial surveillance" by authorities to monitor women in public spaces.

At Amirkabir University of Tehran, facial recognition software was installed at the entrances to identify women not wearing the hijab, according to the report.
It is also suspected that surveillance cameras on the country's main routes are being used to locate women without the veil.
The investigators indicated that they managed to obtain the mobile application "Nazer," developed by the Iranian police, which allows citizens to report women not wearing the hijab in vehicles such as ambulances, buses, subway cars, and taxis.
The application allows users to record the location, date, time, and license plate of the vehicle where the "mandatory hijab violation" would have occurred. This digitally marks the vehicle and notifies the police, according to the report.
"A text message (in real-time) is then sent to the registered owner of the vehicle, warning them that they have been detected violating the mandatory hijab laws and that their vehicle will be impounded if they ignore these warnings," the study explains.
In this context, in July 2024, police officers shot and immobilized a woman who had received one of these reports and was trying to escape from an Iranian checkpoint near the Caspian Sea.
