Iran establishes Tehran court for ‘moral security’ as it tightens monitoring of hijab compliance

According to BBC Persian, authorities in the Islamic Republic have established a special court titled 'moral security' in Tehran as part of their ongoing efforts to enforce mandatory hijab laws. This development comes amid a renewed presence of morality police on city streets and numerous reports of street harassment directed at women perceived to be violating the government's dress code. The new court is viewed as part of a broader strategy to suppress civil disobedience regarding women's attire. Citing this report, the Jerusalem Post describes the current situation as an intensification of pressure on women in Tehran's public spaces.
