Iran installs cameras in public places to identify headless women

Once identified, violators will accept “a warning message concerning the consequences”, police said through a statement.

This decision aims at “to prevent resistance to the hygiene law”, police said through the statement that was published by the Mizan news agency and other state media. Authorities added that such resistance undermines the state's spiritual image and promotes uncertainty, Euronews writes, broadcasts Clankosova.tv.

A growing number of Iranian women have removed headscarves since the death of a 22-year-old woman who died last September while in custody by moral police.

Mahsa Amin was arrested under claims to have violated the hygiene rules, or the headscarf. Security forces have violently crushed the revolt after Amen's death.

However, the risk of arrest because of opposition to the mandatory dress code is high, and women are still seen wearing headscarves during their appearances in shopping malls, shops, and roads throughout the country.

But also videos showing women without headscarves and resisting moral police have flooded social networks.
