'TO WEAR OR NOT TO WEAR A HIJAB or TO BE OR NOT TO BE A FREE WOMAN'
Unveiled And Unbroken, Woman's Revolution In Iran

NCRI - August 7, 2023 - in Monthlies, Women's News
<<July 2023 Report: Punishing Women Defying the Compulsory Veil
Doubling down on punishments against women defying the compulsory Hijab
The month of July saw the return of the notorious Guidance Patrols, albeit without their emblems, and a heated debate on the adoption of the bill on Chastity and Hijab. This monthly report of the NCRI Women's Committee will focus on these two issues, discussing the underlying reasons and the ensuing reactions to those measures. To put things into perspective, one should realize that these measures are the last resort measures of a moribund regime after the 2022-2023 uprising. In each segment of the following report, we will explain why.
Background on the recent round of crackdown on women
Surveillance of women resumed after Nowruz holidays
After the murder of Mahsa ** Amini on September 16, 2022, which sparked the latest round of nationwide uprisings in Iran, the morality police did not appear in the streets for a long time. The clerical regime, however, continued its repression of women and girls in various forms, including the poisoning of female students, because the mullahs' dictatorship cannot survive a day without repression, especially repression directed at women and girls. Indeed, the removal of the mandatory Hijab is a form of opposition mocking the regime's authority, and the mullahs very well understand it.
Then on April 15, the commander of the State Security Force (SSF), Ahmadreza Radan, announced that the regime would step up its efforts to clamp down on women's freedom of choice. Having obtained the facial recognition technology from China, they created much ado about identifying women with closed circuit cameras and taking away their national social security cards.

Official statistics on punishments for defying the compulsory Hijab
....
The spokesperson of the Iranian judiciary reported a concerning trend in the first four months of the Persian year (March 21 to July 22). During this period, 2,251 cases were filed against women who removed their Hijabs. Out of these cases, 825 resulted in convictions, according to Massoud Setayeshi. (The state-run Fars news agency, August 2, 2023) Setayeshi explained the consequences of such actions based on Article 638 of the Islamic Penal Code. He stated that those who remove their headscarves would be directly taken to court. A first-time offense would lead to a fine of 15 million Rials, while repeat offenders would face additional punishments along with the fine. Notably, if the accused is a famous person or a celebrity, they may be subjected to supplementary penalties, which are also publicly reported through media channels. According to the official IRNA news agency on July 15, the Revolutionary and Public Prosecutor of Qazvin initiated legal proceedings against 173 women since the enactment of the Hijab and Chastity Law. The identities of 50 individuals have been established thus far, with efforts underway to identify the remaining individuals, the prosecutor's office said.

And the latest news is that Tehran's municipality has hired 400 individuals to be deployed in metro stations. They are called, Hijab-ban or Hijab guards. With a monthly salary of 12 million Tomans, they are obliged to give warnings to the passengers and prevent them from getting on the metro wagons with covering their hair.* They will also hand over the women with improper veiling or no veil to the police. Tehran's municipality spends 5 billion Tomans per month on Hijab-bans, while the worn-out public transportation fleet and other urban facilities have caused widespread dissatisfaction. (The state-run Rouydad24.ir, August 6, 2023)
Public services suspended, managers arrested for serving women without veils
As mentioned above, the State Security Force sealed and closed hundreds of businesses for providing services to women who defy the compulsory Hijab. They also arrested the managers and owners of many of the businesses. Following are some examples.
....
Guidance Patrols (or the Morality Police) make a comeback
However, none of the above measures succeeded in forcing women to comply with the compulsory dress code. Therefore, on July 16, the SSF spokesman announced that the guidance patrols would be back to hunt down women who appear in public without covering their hair.Saeed Montazer-ol Mahdi, the SSF spokesman, said: <Mobile and foot patrols will be stationed across the country to deal with those groups of people who insist on breaking the norms, unfortunately, without paying attention to the consequences of wearing dresses outside the norm. They will be dealt with legally and reported to the Judiciary starting today if they do not conform to the orders of the police.> (The state-run Mehr news agency, July 16, 2023) The NCRI President-elect, Maryam Rajavi, called on Iranian women to resist.<Reinstating the guidance patrols to suppress, terrorize, and kill, only reflect the regime's profound fear of the outbreak of yet another uprising led by Iranian women. No one can send Iran's brave women and girls back home, when thousands of them have laid down their lives for freedom over the past 40 years.> In reaction to the public's outrage over the return of the guidance patrols, SSF authorities subsequently clarified that the Social Norms Police would do the monitoring and the vans with Guidance Patrol written on them would not return. Instead, they stationed big white vans in the streets to take away the women who insist on defying the compulsory Hijab code. Agnes Callamard, Amnesty International's Secretary General, said in this regard, <The authorities are not fooling anyone by removing the insignia of the 'morality' police from uniforms and patrol vans, while emboldening the enforcers of the Islamic Republic's oppression and subjugation of women and girls to engage in the same violence that killed Mahsa Zhina Amini ** with impunity. Today's crackdown is intensified by mass surveillance technologies capable of identifying unveiled women in their cars and pedestrian spaces.>
Resilient Iranians fight back the guidance patrols
Angry reactions marked the first day of the return of guidance patrols.
In the capital city of Rasht, northern Iran, resilient Iranians fought back against the State Security forces who attempted to harass three women in Rasht's Municipality Square on Sunday night, July 16. Tensions flared and led to clashes between people on the one hand and security forces and plainclothes agents on the other. Locals chanted <Death to Khamenei> during the ensuing protests. Plainclothes agents tried to disperse the crowd with tear gas. On the same day, the head of the Information Center of the SSF in Isfahan Province, said two people who were enforcing the hijab were attacked in the central Iranian province. (The state-run farsnews.ir/Isfahan, July 16, 2023) On July 18, 2023, the SSF violently arrested a woman in Gonbad Kavous, northern Iran, for openly protesting against the compulsory veil and insulting the mullahs' supreme leader in one of the city's squares.
....
Who is responsible for the relaunch of guidance patrols?
The relaunch of guidance patrols, the anti-vice patrols and plainclothes agents whose task is to physically deal with the offenders on the streets, namely to arrest and take them away, raised much criticism within government circles. Even the regime's president, Ebrahim Raisi, and the Judiciary denied their part in instructing the patrols' return despite the State Security Force's initial emphasis that they had orders from Raisi and the Judiciary to go ahead with the plan. Although the Iranian people know that Raisi ordered last year's intensified violence against women in the streets, which led to Mahsa Amini's death. This year, too, no matter what the authorities say, everyone knows that the State Security Force is part of the Interior Ministry, which is part of Raisi's government. The denials and retreats have turned into a popular joke, making headlines in the press and media calling to find the authorities responsible for the return of the guidance patrols. However, they must be seen as further proof of the regime's weakness. On July 23, 2023, a member of the parliamentary national security and foreign policy committee, Jalil Rahimi Jahanabadi, said in an interview, <The fact that no one is willing to take responsibility for the Guidance Patrol indicates that this policy is not correct, as a correct policy garners support. Now, neither the government, the judiciary, the police nor others are willing to accept [responsibility] and this means that the Guidance Patrol lacks a rational basis.>
....
Critics warn against looming uprisings
Those who criticize the return of the guidance patrols fear the specter of looming uprisings awaiting just another spark. Moineddin Saeedi, a member of the mullahs' parliament from Chabahar, said, <Considering that we went through September 2022 and its consequent events, such behavior is very strange. Many legal experts also believe that there is no standard legal basis for the activities of the guidance patrols. Therefore, relaunching them will have irreparable (adverse) impact.> He added, <In circumstances when people have economic problems, they expect us to pay attention to their livelihood and control the inflation.> (The state-run donya-e-eqtesad.com, July 16, 2023) Taghi Azad Armaki, professor of sociology at the University of Tehran, noted the danger of people's resistance, <If the previous violence concerning the guidance patrols was one-sided (i.e. only by the police), today the society is in danger of the outbreak of mutual violence. Today the situation has developed to a state where multi-dimensional violence is also likely. There is a conflict between the civil society and the official institutions.> (The state-run etemadnewspaper.ir, July 17, 2023) Azar Mansouri, the head of the so-called Reform Front, stated, <Not only, the gap between the government and the nation has not been repaired, but has further widened. How many more Mahsas need to give their lives, so the perpetrators of this bad defense accept that insisting on this procedure is counterproductive and that they should confront a society that is already volatile?> (The state-run etemadnewspaper.ir, July 17, 2023) Hossein Alaei, one of the former IRGC commanders, also exclaimed, <The activities of the guidance patrols over these years not only did not reduce the level of improper veiling in the society, but also caused a strong reaction and the spread of improper veiling among women.> (The state-run daily setaresobh.ir, July 17, 2023)
Such criticisms continue to this date.

The clerical regime's paradox
The Iranian authorities have recognized the inefficiency of the present laws on the observance of the religious veil, and punishing the lawbreakers with flogging and imprisonment. People do not deem it fair to flog a woman who shows off her hair. Enacting the law would spark widespread protests by a disgruntled people. Therefore, they have decided to change this crime to an offense punishable by fines. On the other hand, when they remove the religious obligation from the veil, they no longer have any justification to enforce it on the public. Some of the regime's experts say, it is better not to adopt the bill since the State Security Force and other undercover agents enjoy more power under the existing law. Others cite the remarks by Ali Khamenei, the mullahs' supreme leader, who said removing the veil is <politically unlawful> and the enemy uses it to create turmoil and strike at the country's foundations and counter its identity. The acting commander of the State Security Force, IRGC Gen. Qassem Rezaii, called Hijab as the <top pivot of national power> that is targeted by the enemy. He said Hijab is the regime's <redline.> (The state-run Tasnim news agency, July 23, 2023) The paradox shows that the regime’s time is up. The people of Iran and Iranian women, however, are determined to get rid of this medieval regime. They have nothing to lose. As Iranian women and girls chanted during the uprising, <With or without the Hijab, onwards towards a Revolution.> >>
