On March 8, authorities launch campaign to enforce compulsory wearing of veil in Iran

Iranian authorities are waging a primary campaign to enforce laws on mandatory veiling, implementing widespread surveillance of women and girls in public spaces and carrying out massive police checks targeting women who drive, stated Amnesty International on International Women’s Day.

The same source recollected that tens of thousands of women have their cars confiscated arbitrarily, to punish them for daring to defy the laws relating to the compulsory wearing of the veil in Iran. Others are prosecuted and punished to flogging or prison terms, are fined, or are forced to attend “morality” classes.
