Five citizens arrested for publishing images on social media

Five citizens were arrested in two different cities for publishing images on social media.

The issue of combating "revealing the hijab" has been implemented by Sardar Radan since April of this year. People who appear in public places without the mandatory hijab or are present in their cars without the hijab are sentenced to various penalties by the judicial authorities.

After the nationwide protests that began in Shahrivar 1401 with the killing of Mahsa Amini due to inappropriate hijab, the freedom-loving people of Iran showed their courage and bravery to the Islamic Republic regime in unity and solidarity with each other. Not only did they not fear or bow down to the oppression, arrest, torture, and killing of people by the regime, but they also continued to oppose the regime and continue to take one of their rights from the Islamic Republic regime, which is compulsory veiling, and they appear in the streets and public places with optional veiling, and this unity remains strong.

Now, in the city of Rasht, four teenage girls were arrested by security forces for publishing images on social media under the title "Discovering the Hijab" and were referred to the judicial authorities after a case was filed. The head of the Fatah police in North Khorasan also announced the arrest of an individual in Bojnourd for publishing immoral images on social media.

The system's judicial systems have ignored larger problems, including handling cases of murder, embezzlement, etc., but immediately react and arrest people after seeing several photos of them without a hijab or people in public places wearing optional veils. This is a factor that even the authorities and clerics themselves have differing opinions on.

Some clerics have also reacted to the arrests of people for not wearing the hijab, stating that "hijab" is an optional issue and that the Quran does not say anything about the type of clothing women should wear. These repressions and arrests due to women not wearing the hijab are unnecessary, and there are more important issues that the system must address.
