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."
