47:05Now PlayingIn Iran, amidst escalating regional tensions and ongoing internal protests sparked by the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in September 2022, authorities have launched an aggressive new campaign to enforce the mandatory hijab law, dubbed the Nour Plan. This initiative, introduced on April 13, 2024, seeks to rejuvenate enforcement efforts that had waned following widespread outrage over Amini’s death under police custody for "improper hijab." Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has intensified rhetoric against the dissent, labeling the resistance to hijab laws "an imposed challenge" that the regime must confront with harsher measures. This has translated into an alarming increase in violent incidents by morality police, documented vividly across social media platforms where videos of the harsh treatment of women have gone viral. The crackdown has also extended to universities, notably Tehran's Amir Kabir University, where over 200 students went on strike in late April to protest security agents targeting female students’ attire. Meanwhile, reports have surfaced of women facing communication blackouts, with their mobile services cut off shortly after criticizing the hijab laws online. This escalation in enforcement has prompted Iranian netizens and activists to use the hashtag "war against women," signaling a dire situation as the government stiffens its stance on a fundamental aspect of personal freedom.
