Description
The UN denounces the increasing enforcement of Iran's strict hijab laws, with reports that "uniformed and plainclothes police are enforcing a violent crackdown" against women and girls. Jeremy Laurence, spokesperson for the UN's High Commissioner for Human Rights, says "hundreds of businesses have been forcibly closed for not enforcing compulsorty hijab laws". Laurence also calls for Iranian authorities to overturn the death sentence handed to rapper Toomaj Salehi over views he expressed during nationwide protests over the death in police custody of Mahsa Amini in 2022.
