8:08Now PlayingAuthorities in Iran have announced a new campaign to enforce the wearing of headscarves, or hijabs. Wearing the hijab is mandatory under Iran's theocratic regime. Enforcement falls to the notorious morality police, which had largely withdrawn from public view after protests following the death of Mahsa Amini in its custody. Anti-regime protests that followed saw over 500 people killed and nearly 20-thousand arrested.
The daughter of a German citizen facing a death sentence in Iran fears she may have spoken to her father for the last time. Authorities allowed a phone call after previously prohibiting contact for two years.
Jamshid Sharmahd's family says he was kidnapped by Iranian intelligence in Dubai three years ago and brought to Iran. He previously lived in the United States, where he was involved in an exile opposition group. Sharmahd was accused of planning an attack on a mosque and sentenced to death. His family and rights groups reject the charges.
