Iran intensifies enforcement of mandatory hijab laws.

Iranian authorities are stepping up enforcement of the country's strict dress code for women, including the mandatory wearing of headscarves or hijabs. Cameras have been installed in public places and on highways to catch violators, and police have sent thousands of messages to businesses and car owners warning them to comply. Those who encourage women to remove their hijabs will also face prosecution. The crackdown follows a months-long protest movement sparked by the death of a woman in police custody for alleged violations of the dress code.
