Iran installs cameras in public places to penalise unveiled women
GBNEWS24DESK//
Iranian authorities are installing cameras in public places and thoroughfares to identify and penalise unveiled women, the police announced yesterday.
After they have been identified, violators will receive “warning text messages as to the consequences”, police said in a statement.
The move is aimed at “preventing resistance against the hijab law,” said the statement, carried by the judiciary’s Mizan news agency and other state media, adding that such resistance tarnishes the country’s spiritual image and spreads insecurity.
Yesterday’s police statement called on owners of businesses to “seriously monitor the observance of societal norms with their diligent inspections”.
It urged citizens to confront unveiled women.
