Iran police disperse pro-hijab protest amid security concerns
- Iranian authorities dispersed a demonstration supporting stricter hijab enforcement outside parliament after nearly 50 days, according to state media reports.
- The demonstrators, mainly women in black chadors, protested against what they viewed as loose enforcement of the mandatory hijab, which has been required since the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
- The parliament approved a bill imposing tougher penalties for hijab violations in September 2023, but it was shelved before final approval, according to government sources.
- Around 30 protesters resisted police orders to disperse, while many complied, as stated by the judiciary's Mizan Online.
