'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

Defiance Against Mandatory Hijab Grows as Iranian Government Seeks Stricter Measures

Iranwire - July 14, 2023 - by ROGHAYEH REZAEI
<<Iranian Woman Handed Harsh Sentence for <No-Hijab Infectious Disease>
A criminal court in Tehran has handed a woman accused of flouting mandatory hijab rules six months in prison and a two-year travel ban, and ordered her to attend six months of counseling sessions for the treatment of her <mental illness.> As an alternative sentence, the court imposed up to 300 hours of community service and mandatory psychotherapy sessions twice a week. A photograph of the court ruling began circulating on social networks on July 10, sparking outrage among Iranians over the increasing number of cases targeting women who defy compulsory veiling laws. In an act of defiance against the ideology and laws of the Islamic Republic, a growing number of women have appeared in public without hijab since nationwide protests erupted in September last year. Some defiant women were arrested, summoned by the authorities and faced legal cases, while hundreds of businesses were shut down for allegedly failing to enforce the Islamic Republic's strict dress codes on their customers. A civil activist in Tehran who has chosen not to wear the hijab in public, tells IranWire that the Iranian judiciary seeks to <humiliate women and undermine their efforts to create social change.> The Second Criminal Court of the Judicial Complex in Tehran said the woman in the latest case was affected by the <no-hijab infectious disease> and accused her of engaging in <sexual promiscuity.> The woman was imposed the travel ban over concerns she could engage in <anti-Iranian> activities during foreign trips. According to the court, flouting compulsory hijab laws is an <anti-social> behavior that constitutes <a contagious mental illness.> It claimed that Western security services <exploit this illness, furthering their anti-Iranian agenda within Iranian society.> A friend of the woman tells IranWire she was tried in absentia: <About a month ago, she received an unexpected SMS instructing her to click on a link to view a court notice related to her alleged hijab violation. After clicking the link, she discovered the text of the court summons, which stated that she was being sued for publicly removing her hijab from her head, and required her to appear in court on a specified date> <She maintained her innocence, explaining that she hadn't committed any crime and that her scarf had simply fallen off while she was walking.> The source adds that her friend, who decided not to attend the hearing, received an SMS five days after the scheduled date for the court session saying she had been sentenced in absentia. <On what grounds do they accuse a person of promoting debauchery and prostitution, of having mental and sexual illnesses, of being antisocial and abnormal, and of seeking public attention?> her friend asked. The woman has 20 days to appeal the ruling, which claimed that she was identified by facial recognition cameras. According to IT experts, the Islamic Republic still lacks such cameras, as well as a comprehensive citizen identity database. IranWire's investigations have shown that the government does not bear the costs of psychotherapy sessions imposed by the judiciary. These sessions are often provided at an exorbitant price by clinics affiliated with or close to the judiciary. <People must shoulder the costs themselves and spend a minimum of 26 million tomans ($520) twice a week for six months,> a person with knowledge of the matter says.>>

<<Woman from Kermanshah: Iranian women want to have equal rights with men
Kermanshah- Jina Mahsa Amini, who was hospitalized due to torture in custody by Iran’s so-called <morality police> for not wearing her hijab properly, died in the intensive care unit of Tehran's Kasra Hospital on September 16, 2022. Protests led by women chanting, <Jin, Jiyan, Azadi (English: Women, Life, Freedom)> sparked in Iran and Eastern Kurdistan following the death of Jina Mahsa Amini. However, the Iranian government has been using many methods such as torture, execution and violence to quell the nationwide protests. Despite the oppression of the Iranian government, the people in Iran and Eastern Kurdistan have been holding protests for 10 months.
'Women keep resisting despite all kinds of oppression'
H.G. is a woman from Kermanshah believing that having a free life is one of the most fundamental rights of every individual. <Security forces and some people in society try to oppress women for not wearing hijab. Women keep resisting despite all kinds of oppression.>
'Women want to have equal rights with men'
Noting that as women, they are aware of their rights, she said, <Hijab should be optional not compulsory. A free life is one of the most fundamental rights of every individual. Women certainly want to have equal rights with men to participate in all facets of life.> >>

<Pressures Are Exerted in Different Ways:> No recess for Protesting University Students
<There's no turning back> - This short sentence was part of a statement issued by students of Tehran's University of Arts after the launch of a sit-in on June 14 protesting the implementation of mandatory hijab rules in the university. In response, university guards and other security forces have threatened, beaten and arrested the protesting students. But in the face of their continued resistance, the methods used to suppress students and professors who support them have changed. Amid a women's civil disobedience movement against the mandatory hijab law, MP Ali Motahari stated in an interview in March that the enforcement of the dress code in the streets should be of secondary importance. However, he insisted that it should be strictly enforced in government offices and universities. Meanwhile, it appeared that the presence of morality police in the streets has diminished, while restrictions within government offices and universities have increased. Starting from mid-June, students at Tehran's University of Arts started receiving text messages from the university's security team saying that wearing a headscarf is mandatory inside the premises. The move led to a sit-in protest at the university but also triggered angry reactions among students in other universities and the general public. A student at Tehran's University of Arts tells IranWire that the authorities appear to have <backed down from enforcing the scarf requirement> for women. <However, pressures are now being exerted on students in different ways,> he adds. <For instance, during the strike initiated by art university students to boycott classes, the university compelled the students to return to the classrooms by evicting them from the dormitory.> <The sensitivities surrounding hijab have even extended to the educational and artistic domains,> the student also says, citing the recent case where authorities at the University of Arts called off a student photography exhibition that would have featured images of women without a headscarf. <Students in clothing and textile design were informed that women's faces should be removed from the designs and that their body's skin should appear in a checkered form in two-dimensional designs. Additionally, the university authorities announced without any explanation that new students would no longer be admitted to the sculpture department. All of these instances can be attributed to the new strictures regarding hijab.>
Another student described the pressure university professors are facing.
Professors who expressed their support for the sit-ins <were prohibited from entering the university, and their collaboration with the institution was terminated.> the student says. <There are also rumors about the potential replacement of certain professors, which is worrisome.> A former professor at the university says that, in the face of <the remarkable and enduring resistance demonstrated by the students of the University of Arts....the system resorted to another form of systematic violence, including withholding grades and removing students' names from exam sessions.>
<Apart from the collective violence inflicted by security forces, these administrative measures subject students to individual acts of violence. As a result, public awareness of these issues is limited.> Regarding the pressures exerted on university professors, the ex-professor explains: <Art university teachers are mainly adjunct instructors, meaning their collaboration with the university is governed by a contract that is typically renewed each semester or sometimes concludes at the end of the term.> <In many cases, the motivation behind these collaborations goes beyond financial considerations. During the recent uprising, when several art professors joined the students' call for a strike, the university did not readily invite them to continue teaching. Instead, they were sacked from the university, and some of them were even summoned by security and law enforcement agencies. As many of these individuals are artists who require government permits to continue their activities outside the university, they face significant pressure.> Also, the ongoing confrontation between the authorities and these specialized professors has led to a decline in the quality of education in various art workshops. The ex-university professor explains why Tehran's University of Arts has emerged as a focal point of protests and student resistance: <In the field of arts, students engage in a substantial amount of practical work, which fosters their familiarity with collaborative work and interaction with their peers. These students have developed a deep understanding of working in groups through repeated practice. Moreover, throughout their lives, they have consistently faced opposition from both within and outside the university, which often failed to acknowledge their creative endeavors.> This experience has <nurtured their ability to form support networks,> the former professor concludes.>>

<<Tehran University Cancels Photo Exhibit over Hijab Rules
The authorities at Tehran University of Arts have called off a student photography exhibition that would have featured images of women without a mandatory headscarf. Students quoted university security personnel as saying that the artworks would not be displayed unless the pictures showing women's skin and faces were removed. Students have held protests at Tehran University of Arts since June 14 over the university administration and security personnel's insistence that women students abide by the Islamic Republic's strict dress code. On June 17, more than 10 male and female students protesting mandatory headscarf rules outside the campus of the university were forcefully arrested and taken to an undisclosed location>>

<<Iranian actress Afsaneh Baygan summoned for not wearing hijab
News Center- Afsaneh Baygan, an Iranian actress and an opponent of the mandatory hijab, has announced on her Instagram account that Iran's judiciary has summoned her for <wearing a hat>. <Two months ago, I went to Shahrzad Theater Complex to watch a theater performance. I wore a hat that covered most of my head and only a little of my hair and neck could be seen. Now, I face three to 12 months' imprisonment under article 640 of the Penal Code (This article says that anyone who exhibits or puts for public viewing, films, which offends public decency or morals). This means that if I am seen in public without a hijab, I will be fined according to article 638; if I attend a show wearing a hat, I will be imprisoned for a year???> Criticizing the indictment prepared against her, she wrote, <In the indictment, they write that I deserve more punishment because I am an actress. Years ago, I attended the Fajr International Film Festival by wearing a similar hat and I did not face any imprisonment. But today, wearing a hat is considered a crime.> >>

<<Mandatory Hijab: Iranian Authorities Intensify Pressure on Businesses
In recent days, the Iranian authorities have stepped up their efforts to enforce mandatory headscarf rules, shutting dozens of cafes, restaurants and other commercial and recreational venues that were failing to comply with the Islamic Republic's strict dress code. The Supervisory Department of the Police Headquarters on July 2 released a list of businesses in the southern port city of Bandar Abbas that were sealed for their alleged failure to adhere to <Islamic principles.> The businesses targeted include five cafes and a sports club. Several commercial units within Bandar Abbas Mall suffered a similar fate. In Islamshahr, the second most populous city in Tehran province, the local police commander announced that at least 13 businesses have been sealed. The cities hit in the most recent wave of closures also include Mashhad, Rasht and Tehran. In an act of defiance against the ideology and laws of the Islamic Republic, a growing number of women have appeared in public without hijab since nationwide protests erupted in September last year. Some defiant women were arrested, summoned by the authorities and faced legal cases, while hundreds of small businesses and shopping malls were shut down for allegedly failing to enforce hijab rules on their customers. Taxi drivers have been fined for transporting women without headscarves, while police and volunteers have issued warnings in subways, airports and other public places.>>
