Iran issues warning on mandatory headscarf in cars: Media

TEHRAN, 03 January 2023, (TON): Iranian police have resumed warnings that women must wear mandatory headscarves even in cars, media reported Monday, as unrest continues following the death of Mahsa Amini.

Protests have gripped Iran since the September 16 death of Iranian-Kurdish Amini, 22, after her arrest in Tehran for an alleged breach of the Islamic republic’s strict dress code for women.

Tehran generally calls the protests “riots.”

Fars news agency quoted a senior police officer who said the “new stage” of the Nazer-1 program — “surveillance” in Persian — was being rolled out “across the country by the police.”
