'War against the No-hijabi women'
Iranwire -
May 10,2024
<<Iran Deploys Drones, Surveillance to Enforce Hijab Rules
Iranian authorities are using a combination of violent tactics and
invasive surveillance to enforce mandatory hijab rules on women. This
coincides with the implementation of the government's <Noor Plan,> which
aims to tighten restrictions on women's clothing. At the recent 35th
Tehran International Book Fair, eyewitnesses reported the use of
quadcopters equipped with cameras to target women not wearing hijabs.
The drones photograph them and transmit their location, enabling <hijab
enforcers> to confront them directly. Women attempting to enter the Book
Fair without hijabs were reportedly denied entry altogether, with
security forces stationed at every entrance. The <Noor Plan>
implementation has also seen numerous accounts of violent arrests by
police and special units targeting women who defy the mandatory hijab.
Since April 13, Iran's law enforcement agencies have been intensifying
the enforcement of hijab regulations under the <Noor Plan.> There have
been numerous reports of women being arrested and harassed for perceived
violations of dress codes across Iran. Users across social networks are
participating in a spontaneous campaign using the hashtag <war against
women> to document their experiences and observations regarding the
government's crackdown on the opponents of mandatory hijab. Reports have
also emerged detailing repressive tactics, especially targeting female
students in various universities. Additionally, there has been
increasing pressure on civil activists, political dissenters, women
political prisoners, and cultural figures.>>

Pharmacy Quotas to the Observance of Hijab
NCRI - Womens committee - 8 may 2024 - in Women's News
<<Iranian Regime Links Pharmacy Quotas to the Observance of Hijab
Pharmacy Quotas Tied to the Observance of the Mandatory Hijab
After the clerical regime failed to enforce the mandatory Hijab by the
massive deployment of Guidance patrols and plainclothes agents in the
streets and through violent and arbitrary arrests of women and girls,
the Iranian regime is adopting new measures, while the Hijab and
Chastity bill has not yet become a law. Recent reports from state-run
media indicate that the head of the Food and Drug Organization,
affiliated with the Ministry of Health, has emphasized the role of
mandatory hijab in determining pharmacy quotas. This new approach aims
to link compliance with hijab norms to the allocation of pharmacy
licenses. According to Haidar Mohammadi, who spoke at the presidential
communication center on May 5, pharmacies will be evaluated based on
their adherence to hijab requirements. Non-compliance with mandatory
hijab is considered an <abnormality,> and directly impacts the quota
assigned to each pharmacy. Haidar Mohammadi said, <If a pharmacy does
not comply with the norms, initially, it will be warned. If the warning
has no effect, preventive measures will be implemented against the
offending pharmacy. If the preventive measures are ineffective, the
violators will be introduced to the legal authorities.> However, IRNA
(the official news agency of the clerical regime) has denied Haidar
Mohammadi's statement, asserting that pharmacy quotas are determined
based on their employees’ compliance with hijab, rather than customers.
Despite this denial, there are indications that some government
institutions in Iran have closed pharmacies due to the non-observance of
mandatory hijab by both employees and customers. The Food and Drug
Organization of Iran, a subsidiary of the Ministry of Health, plays a
crucial role in shaping policies and programs related to pharmaceuticals,
food, beverages, cosmetics, and medical supplies. In March 2023, the
organization made it mandatory for all technical and non-technical
employees to wear black head covers that conceal the hair, shoulders,
and chest, known as Maghna'eh.
While the regime focuses on hijab compliance, patients in Iran continue
to face challenges related to medicine shortages and high prices. Vital
medications are sometimes only accessible through the black market, such
as the Nasser Khosrow market in Tehran, where patients pay exorbitant
prices for their much-needed drugs. Reports have also highlighted the
closure of business premises, restaurants, cafes, and even pharmacies
due to non-compliance with the mandatory hijab requirement.>>

<<Iranian Police Chief Claims 'Homeland and Religion Would Vanish
Without Hijab'
The police commander of the Islamic Republic has stated that the
homeland would cease to exist without the hijab. During the government's
crackdown on women opposing the mandatory hijab, Ahmad Reza Radan
remarked, <If they remove the hijab, the homeland and religion will
automatically vanish.> <While we acknowledge economic challenges, how
many women who refuse to wear hijab do so due to economic reasons, and
what is the cost of their makeup and hairstyling?> he added. Since April
13, Iran's law enforcement agencies have been intensifying the
enforcement of hijab regulations under the national action plan <Noor.>
There have been numerous reports of women being arrested and subjected
to force for perceived violations of dress codes across Iran. Users
across social networks are participating in a spontaneous campaign using
the hashtag <war against women> to document their experiences and
observations regarding the government's crackdown on the opponents of
mandatory hijab.

Nika Shakarami
Iranwire - May 7,2024
<<Iran Targets Journalists Who Covered Teenager's Death
Iranian authorities are targeting journalists who reported on the death
of Nika Shakrami, a teenager who was sexually assaulted and killed
during the 2022 nationwide protests. The Tehran Prosecutor's Office has
filed cases against Hadi Kasaizadeh, editor-in-chief of Maidan Azadi
magazine, and economic journalist Asal Dadashlo. This action follows a
BBC World Service report on April 30, saying it possesses a <highly
confidential document> detailing Nika Shakrami's abuse and killing by
security forces. The Iranian judiciary responded by accusing several
journalists and media activists of spreading <false information,
insults, and propaganda> related to Shakrami's case. Mizan news agency,
the judiciary's media arm, claims the case has been thoroughly
investigated. Marzieh Mahmoudi and Mohammad Parsi are other journalists
facing criminal charges in connection with such reportage.>>

Hijab Crackdown Continues with CCTV Cameras
NCRI - Womens committee - 6 May 2024 - in Women's News
<<The Repressive Hijab Crackdown Continues, with the State Security
Force Linking all CCTV Cameras
The Hijab Remains an Excuse for Regime Control, Suppressing Dissent and
Sustaining Power
A member of the mullahs' parliament has declared that all CCTV cameras
in both government and private offices will be linked to the State
Security Force (SSF). This move aims to facilitate the thorough
identification of women who remove their hijab in public spaces.
Amirhossein Bankipour, a member of the regime's parliament, made this
announcement regarding the Hijab and Chastity Bill. During a speech
covered by the state-run media, Amirhossein Bankipour stated: <Our
cultural solution in this bill is long-term, while our economic
solutions serve as mid-term auxiliary measures. We have categorized the
punishments accordingly. The lowest tier of punishment involves fining
passers-by and individuals who remove their hijab in virtual spaces.
<For a first offense of hijab removal, a suspended fine of one and a
half million Tomans is imposed. Upon a second offense captured by the
cameras, the fine increases to 3 million Tomans, in addition to the
initial 1.5 million, totaling 4.5 million Tomans. This fine must be
settled within three weeks. To ensure complete identification of
individuals, all CCTV cameras in stores and offices will be linked to
the SSF.> (The state-run Entekhab.ir website, May 5, 2024) He further
added, <Under the Hijab and Chastity Law, we have stipulated that all
government and private institutions must make their CCTV cameras
available to the SSF. In this legislation, the Ministry of Industries,
Mines, and Trade, the Ministry of Economy, and the municipalities
shoulder the greatest responsibility.>
CCTV cameras
During his remarks, Bankipour explicitly stated that their <ultimate
objective> is to <ensure the security of cities.> Bankipour emphasized,
<The Guidance Patrols and the Noor (Light) Plan will continue to be
enforced as per the previous law. Once the Hijab and Chastity bill comes
into effect, the SSF will have significantly expanded authority.> He
stated, <To guarantee the comprehensive security of our cities, we have
stipulated in this law that all systems must provide their CCTV cameras
to the SSF. This ensures that all types of crimes, ranging from theft to
various other issues, can be effectively monitored by the SSF.
Additionally, we are enhancing the capabilities of the SSF by equipping
it with additional cameras.> (The state-run Khabaronline.ir, May 5,
2024) Like the previous year, the clerical regime has failed in its
brutal campaign to impose hijab on Iranian women and girls. The State
Security Force (SSF) command of the regime's oppressive police force had
already announced on April 23rd that the <Light Plan> will transition
towards AI-driven methods. The NCRI Women's Committee strongly condemns
the desperate attempts of the clerical regime to suppress women, under
the guise of combating improper veiling, in a bid to thwart potential
uprisings. We call upon human rights defenders and advocates for women's
rights to denounce the atrocities committed by the clerical regime and
to advocate for its exclusion from the international community.>>

<<Iran Launches Online Crackdown Targeting 'Moral Crimes'
The Islamic Republic's authorities are planning to intensify the online
morality crackdown alongside increased pressure on women to wear the
headscarf. According to the semi-official ISNA news agency, Vahid Majidi,
head of the FATA police force (cybercrimes unit), announced a plan to
target <moral crimes> in virtual spaces. This comes as the <Noor Plan>
redeploys morality police to enforce mandatory headscarf rules. Majidi
said the plan will target individuals creating <obscene live streams>
and <vulgar content.> He also stated that authorities have identified
and taken action against <10 active pages> associated with such content.
This is not the first time Iranian authorities have cracked down on
social media.
Security and judicial institutions have previously shut down popular
social media pages. In recent weeks, they have summoned individuals for
online comments critical of the government. One recent example involved
people who expressed opposition to the assault and murder of Nika
Shakarami by the Iranian security forces. Majidi claimed 91 percent of
<morally contaminated content> originates on Instagram, despite the
platform being officially filtered in Iran. Since April 13, Iran's law
enforcement agencies have intensified the enforcement of hijab
regulations under the national action plan <Noor.> Across Iran, there
have been numerous reports of women being arrested and subjected to the
use of force due to perceived violations of dress codes. Users across
social networks have started a spontaneous campaign using the hashtag
<war against women> to document their experiences and observations
regarding the government's crackdown on the opponents of mandatory hijab.
Meanwhile, reports have surfaced detailing the use of repressive
tactics, particularly on female students in various universities.
Moreover, pressure has also been mounting on civil activists, political
dissenters, women political prisoners, and cultural figures.>>

<<Amid Drug Shortage in Iranian Pharmacies, Allocation Tied to 'Hijab
Norms'
Even as pharmacies in Iran face a critical drug shortage, leaving
citizens struggling to access essential medications, Iran's Food and
Drug Administration (FDA) head has linked the allocation of drug quotas
to <observance of hijab and norms.> According to the FDA head Heydar
Mohammadi, pharmacies that fail to heed warnings regarding the mandatory
hijab for both employees and customers will face punitive measures,
including reduced drug quotas. These remarks came as Health Minister
Bahram Einollahi claimed to have resolved the drug shortage issue. On
Wednesday, Einollahi criticized the growing preference for imported
drugs and asserted that the ministry's policy is to support domestic
companies to address the drug shortage. According to reports from
citizens and social media posts, disruptions in the drug distribution
chain have caused significant challenges for both pharmacies and
manufacturers.
Since late 2023, news has emerged about the closure of several
pharmacies.
In December 2023, Shahram Kelantari, the head of the Pharmacists
Association, described the drug situation in Iran as dire. he said that
40 percent of pharmacies were on the brink of bankruptcy due to the
difficulties in procuring drugs and securing cash flow. Now, the FDA
head has attributed part of the drug supply problems to the pharmacists'
non-compliance with hijab regulations, emphasizing that failure to heed
warnings regarding hijab will affect the pharmacy's drug allocation. In
March, the FDA issued guidelines on the dress code for pharmacy staff.
The guidelines mandate black headscarves for female employees, including
technical directors and other staff. This directive followed warnings
and closures issued to pharmacies in various Iranian cities for
non-compliance with mandatory hijab by their employees.>>

<<Iran Reinforces Ban on Women in Stadiums Amid Broader Crackdown
Authorities of the Islamic Republic in northern Mazandaran have banned
women from football stadiums after a male fan insulted female spectators
in Tehran. After Iranian media published a picture of an elderly man
wearing a headscarf adorned with a religious slogan at Azadi Stadium in
Tehran, where he insulted and threatened women present, a security
committee in Mazandaran Province decided to ban women spectators in the
city's stadiums. Fars news agency, affiliated with the IRGC, stated that
Watani Stadium would not admit any women until the season's end for
Nasaji FC matches. This media outlet viewed the ban on women at Watani
Stadium as a request from the Provincial Security Council.
Simultaneously, Iranian media have reported on the <incremental
exclusion of women from stadiums by extremists> and <the systematic
process of once again banning women's presence in stadiums.> An informed
source within the football federation also told IranWire that the
federation is anticipating a potential response from FIFA or the Asian
Football Confederation. This reliable source revealed to IranWire:
<Plans to prohibit women's entry started at the end of March and were
intended to gradually shut the stadium doors to women again in the final
weeks of the Premier League.> The source believes that preparations have
been made to quietly exclude women from stadiums until the season's
conclusion, making it improbable for Iranian women to attend any stadium
in the next Premier League season, except for one in Tehran. For more
than four decades, Iran's clerical establishment has opposed the idea of
women being allowed in stadiums with male fans, and only a restricted
number of them have been allowed to attend a few games in recent years.
There has been minimal progress on the issue since calls were made last
year for FIFA to ban Iran from the World Cup in Qatar because of the
continued exclusion of women from football matches. These calls came
against the backdrop of women-led nationwide protests sparked by the
death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini while she was in police custody for
allegedly wearing her mandatory headscarf improperly. Javan newspaper,
affiliated with the IRGC, and Keyhan newspaper, affiliated with the
leader of the Islamic Republic, on Sunday, in similar notes, deemed the
presence of women in Iran's stadiums as <inappropriate.> In its
critique, Javan once again highlighted the absence of necessary
technical and cultural infrastructure, emphasizing that Kioumars Hashemi,
the Minister of Sports and Youth, should not overlook the issue of
women's stadium access until adequate facilities are provided.
However, as anticipated, Kayhan newspaper's criticism was more severe
and imprudent.
In an editorial, the newspaper dismissed Iranian women's desire to
attend sports venues as a <false aspiration,> asserting that Iranian
women <should not believe that success and dignity for a woman lie in
emulating men in behavior and attire.> By piecing together the reactions
from government and security agencies, as well as newspapers, alongside
the events unfolding since April regarding Iranian women in stadiums,
Etemat newspaper unveiled a <new initiative> aimed at restricting
stadium access. This publication covered incidents such as the <330
million tomans fine and the ban on Hossein Hosseini for hugging a
teenage fan,< <the resistance of extremist factions and security
institutions in Tabriz against allowing Tabriz women back into the
stadium,> and <the presence of a former Sepahan FC club fan who labelled
gender chants against women> as evidence of a concerted effort to once
again exclude women from stadiums. According to a source within the
football federation, the federation holds no authority in determining
the entry or prohibition of women into stadiums. Instead, it is tasked
with facilitating communication between FIFA and various security and
governmental bodies in the coming days. In recent months, female Tractor
FC fans were only granted access to the team's home stadium once, with
subsequent entries barred by decisions from provincial security
institutions.>>

Hijab Crackdown Hurts Iranian Markets
The start of a new crackdown on women in Iran and the deployment of
morality police units have instilled fear and stress among both
customers and marketers. Market traffic has dwindled to a third of its
usual volume, significantly impacting daily sales for shopkeepers. Many
have incurred fines for <improper hijab,> with shopkeepers instructed to
bar those not adhering to the dress code, leading to further deterrence
of potential buyers.
Occasionally, customers from afar retreat upon witnessing the stringent
conditions as the police confront women, exacerbating the losses for
sellers.
An old wholesaler, aware of talks within the clothing union, found the
new rules unrealistic and hard to believe. He recounted directives
urging businesses to deny entry to unveiled women, questioning their
feasibility. <This goes against our principles and integrity,> he said.
<Such expectations are simply unattainable.> Since April 13, Iran's law
enforcement agencies have intensified the enforcement of hijab
regulations under the national action plan <Noor.> Across Iran, there
have been numerous reports of women being arrested and subjected to the
use of force due to perceived violations of dress codes. Users across
social networks are participating in a spontaneous campaign using the
hashtag <war against women> to document their experiences and
observations regarding the government's crackdown on opponents of
mandatory hijab. Reports have surfaced detailing the use of repressive
tactics, particularly on female students in various universities.
Moreover, pressure has also been mounting on civil activists, political
dissenters, women political prisoners, and cultural figures.>>
