Iran's Morality Police Reinstate Strict Hijab Enforcement Measures

TL;DR Summary
Iranian authorities have revived patrols by the morality police to enforce the country's mandatory hijab rules, cracking down on violations of the dress code. The police will issue warnings and refer those who persist in non-compliance to the judicial system. Women found to be in breach of the rules could be arrested and sent to re-education facilities. Businesses, including cafes and shopping centers, are also being targeted for offering services to women with loose hijabs. Recent incidents, including the arrest of an actor and the sentencing of an actress, highlight the increasing enforcement of hijab controls in Iran.
