Iran to revise hijab law amid protests

Protests began in Iran on September 16 over the death of a girl who was detained by the “morality police” for allegedly wearing a hijab improperly.

Iranian authorities intend to amend the country’s current law on the mandatory wearing of hijabs by women, Iran’s Attorney General Mohammad Jafar Montazeri said, as quoted by The Guardian

“Parliament and the judiciary are working on the issue of amendments to the relevant law,” said the prosecutor general. However, he did not specify what could be changed in the law.

According to the Prosecutor General, the working group has already held several meetings, and a decision on the law can be made “in a week or two.”

It will be recalled that protests erupted in Iran on September 16 due to the death of a girl who was detained by the “morality police” for allegedly wearing the hijab improperly.

On October 17, the EU imposed sanctions on 11 Iranians and four organizations, including the country’s morality police and its cyber defense command, and a minister, over the government’s crackdown on protests.
