Iran Labels Non-Hijab-Wearing Actresses as Mentally Ill

Iranian judges have diagnosed three female actors with mental illnesses after they refused to wear hijabs, sentencing them to mandatory psychiatric treatment. The ruling has sparked outrage among psychiatrists, who argue that mental health diagnoses should be made by professionals, not judges. Iran's strict hijab laws have been the subject of protests, and the recent diagnoses have been criticized as unscientific and strange.
