Iran Holds Back Hijab Law After Widespread Condemnation
SHARE

In Iran, the proposed “hijab and chastity law” aimed to enforce stricter penalties for girls and women who do not fully cover their hair, forearms, or lower legs, including fines and prison sentences of up to 15 years. However, the law has been put on hold by Iran’s National Security Council after facing criticism from both domestic and international communities.

President Masoud Pezeshkian expressed his disapproval of the legislation, calling it “ambiguous and in need of reform.” Amnesty International also condemned the law, stating that it would further restrict personal freedoms in Iran.

The controversy surrounding the hijab law has been ongoing, with individuals like former vice-president Masoumeh Ebtekar and young women like Parastoo Ahmadi challenging the government’s restrictions. Ahmadi’s arrest for posting a video of herself singing without a hijab sparked outrage and highlighted the ongoing debate surrounding women’s rights in Iran.

Despite the government’s attempt to enforce the hijab law, many Iranian activists and citizens have spoken out against it, urging President Pezeshkian to uphold his promises of personal freedom. The decision to delay the implementation of the law reflects the government’s concerns about potential protests and backlash from the public.
