TL;DR Summary

Iranian authorities have shut down one of the offices of Digikala, Iran's largest e-commerce company, and launched judicial procedures after the company posted pictures online showing female employees not wearing the mandatory Islamic headscarf. This crackdown is part of a new campaign to enforce the Islamic dress code, nearly a year after protests against it. The protests, which began after the death of a woman in custody for violating the dress code, led to calls for the overthrow of Iran's theocracy. The morality police have returned to the streets, and women are being forced to wear the hijab.
