Iran Cracks Down on E-commerce Giant for Unveiled Female Employees

Iranian authorities have shut down one office of Digikala, Iran's largest e-commerce company, and initiated legal proceedings after the company posted photos online showing female employees without the mandatory Islamic headscarf. This crackdown comes as part of a new campaign to enforce the Islamic dress code, nearly a year after protests against it. Digikala, known as "Iran's Amazon," has violated the rules by featuring pictures of female employees not wearing the hijab. The company has over 40 million active monthly users and is a popular alternative for Iranians due to Western sanctions.
