Defying Hijab Rules in Iran Now Punishable by Death

The Iranian government's new hijab law imposes severe penalties, including death or up to 15 years in prison, on women who defy strict dress codes. This oppressive legislation targets personal freedom, silencing women while legitimising public harassment and punishment. Amnesty International has condemned the law, which criminalises even sending unveiled videos abroad. Despite the repression, Iranian women continue to resist, standing firm against the regime's control. The law follows the tragic death of Mahsa Amini in 2022, intensifying societal tensions. This report explores the resilience of Iranian women, their struggle for autonomy, and the fight for a future free of oppression.
