Iranian police use “smart” technology against women

Iranian police use “smart” technology against women

In the future, the Iranian police want to use technology to track down all women who violate the Islamic Republic’s strict dress code. As of next Saturday, violations of the veil requirement will be recorded with the help of “smart cameras” and other devices in public squares and streets, police chief Ahmad Raisa Radan told state television on Saturday, and those affected will be identified.

Radan warned that all women who do not wear the hijab will be warned first and then put on trial in the second step. Car owners will also be warned if a passenger breaches the regulations. If this happens again, the car can be confiscated.

Iran has witnessed protests for months, sparked by the killing of the young Kurdish woman, Mahsa Amini. She died in mid-September after being arrested by deputy police in Tehran for breaking a strict dress code for women. Since then, the number of women who defy the rules has continued to grow.

At the end of March, the head of Iran’s judiciary, Gholamhossein Mohseni-Edchi, declared that removing the headscarf would be considered “hostility to Iran’s values” and would be punished accordingly.
