An Iranian man was recorded shouting at two women, a mother and her daughter, who entered the store without a head covering. The man confronted the two and finally poured yogurt on them.
The attacker was removed from the scene after several men confronted him. The video that is causing a stir in Iran was filmed in a store in the city of Shandiz in northeastern Iran. The authorities arrested the male attacker as well as you The mother and daughter who broke the dress code in the Islamic Republic.
Iranian President Raisi commented on the sensational documentation and said live on state television: “If there are people who say they don’t believe (in the hijab) they can be convinced… but the important point is that there is a legal requirement and the hijab is a legal matter today.”
The law in Iran requires women to cover their head hair. In the last few months, there was a rare protest in its scope where women protested the laws of modesty. Many protesters removed their headscarves in defiance of the regime. Following the wave of protest, Iranian women began to appear in public and upload photos on social media without a head covering.
The Ministry of Interior in Tehran said last Thursday that the hijab, the head covering, is “one of the foundations of the civilization of the Iranian nation” and “one of the practical principles of the Islamic Republic.” Iran’s Chief Justice, Golmhossein Mohsani Aji, warned that bare-headed women “will be prosecuted without mercy” – but did not specify what the punishment would be.
