Iran’s New Hijab Law: Death Penalty And Harsh Punishments For ‘Improper Dressing’ Spark Global Outrage
Iran is set to implement harsh new mandatory morality laws this week, imposing severe penalties, including the death penalty, on women accused of defying the country’s dress code. The legislation, which seeks to enforce the “culture of chastity and hijab,” mandates punishment for those accused of promoting nudity, indecency, unveiling, or improper dressing. Repeat offenders could face prison terms of five to 15 years, fines up to $15,700, or flogging. The measures were ratified by Iranian authorities earlier this month.
