18:41Now PlayingIn a deeply concerning development, Iran has announced the opening of a "Clinic for Quitting Hijab Removal" in Tehran, marking a new phase in the regime's efforts to suppress women's resistance to mandatory hijab laws. The facility, overseen by the state's Headquarters for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, aims to "treat" women who refuse to wear headscarves, effectively pathologizing dissent as a mental illness. According to Mehri Talebi Darestani, the clinic's overseer, it "will be for the scientific and psychological treatment of removing the hijab, specifically for the teenage generation, young adults, and women seeking social and Islamic identity." This development comes in the wake of the widespread "Woman, Life, Freedom" protests following Mahsa Amini's death in 2022, and has drawn sharp criticism from human rights activists and psychiatric professionals who condemn the regime's attempt to medicalize political opposition. The announcement follows several incidents where protesting women have been forcibly committed to mental health facilities, including the recent case of Ahou Daryaei, a 30-year-old student who was institutionalized after protesting hijab laws on her university campus.
