Women who violate the Islamic dress code will be punished, the head of Iran’s judiciary, Gholamhossein Mohseni Ezey, said as he revised the law after months of unrest and protests.
“Removing the hijab is tantamount to hostility towards the Islamic Republic and its values. People who participate in these illegal activities will be punished,” the Iranian official said.
“With the help of the judiciary and the executive branch, the authorities will use all available means to combat people who cooperate with the enemy and commit a sin that affects public order,” he continued.
The death of Mahsa Amini on September 16, while she was in custody for violating the Islamic dress code, sparked protests across Iran, the most violent the Tehran regime has faced since the establishment of the Islamic Republic in 1979.
