Iran wants to install dozens of cameras to detect women without headscarves

The oppression of women has continued for months since the restrictions on women’s civil rights. Iranian authorities have announced that cameras have been placed in public places and main streets to detect uncovered women who defied the strict dress code imposed by the government of the Islamic Republic.

In a statement released by Mizan Adli News Agency and other state media, he said the perpetrators would receive “warning messages about the consequences” after the police were identified. Stating that the measure aims to “prevent resistance against the headscarf law”, the authors of the statement added that this resistance damaged the moral image of the country and spread distrust. In a statement, the police also urged business owners to “seriously monitor compliance with social standards through diligent inspections”.

More and more Iranian women have been reluctant to wear a headscarf since the murder of 22-year-old Kurdish Mahsa Amini last September, following her arrest by the morality police for improperly wearing a headscarf. In a statement on March 30, Iran’s Interior Ministry described the headscarf as “one of the foundations of civilization in the Iranian nation”. Last week, a video that went viral on social media showed a man throwing yogurt at two uncovered women in a shop. The women were later arrested under the headscarf law. The man was also arrested

Describing the headscarf as “one of the foundations of the Iranian nation’s civilization”, the police called on restaurant and shop owners to follow the rules by conducting “meticulous inspections”. But Iran’s head of the judiciary, Gholamhossein Mohseni-Ejei, warned that widespread repression may not be the best way to encourage women to abide by the rules. “Cultural problems must be solved through cultural means… If we solve these problems by arresting and imprisoning, the costs will increase and we cannot get the desired efficiency,” he said.
