UN Report Details Iran's Surveillance Tactics to Enforce Hijab Laws

Iran is increasing electronic surveillance to enforce its mandatory headscarf law, according to a United Nations report released on March 14, 2025.
The report details that Iranian authorities have implemented drone surveillance and facial recognition technology to enforce hijab laws in public spaces.
At least 618 women have been arrested under the Noor Plan since its introduction in April 2024, as reported by U.N. Investigators.
The ongoing crackdown follows the death of Mahsa Amini in 2022, which sparked protests that resulted in over 22,000 detentions.
