The Tehran Public and Revolutionary Prosecutor announced the conviction of a woman protesting against mandatory hijab. He announced that law enforcement forces will confront the subversive approaches of the “Girls of Revolution Street.”
On Wednesday, March 7, at the seventh session of the Tehran Prosecutor's Office "Regarding Social Harms," Abbas Jafari Dolatabadi, Tehran's Public Prosecutor, referred to the issue of improper hijab and the structurally destructive approach of Iranian women to confronting compulsory hijab, and noted that violators will be fought.
The Tehran prosecutor announced the sentence of one of the “girls of Enghelab Street” to two years in prison. According to Jafari Dolatabadi, 21 months of the sentence of this woman protesting against the mandatory hijab has been suspended for 5 years. The Tehran prosecutor protested this action and said: “Suspending the court’s verdict in matters against modesty is contrary to Article 47, Section C of the Islamic Penal Code, and the Tehran prosecutor’s office is pursuing the violation of this verdict.”
She considered the hijab as one of the values of Islamic society and claimed that the subversive approach of Iranian women was "the result of propaganda from satellite networks and social networks hostile to the regime."
Vehicle impoundment
Jafari Dolatabadi criticized those who, in his words, are trying to make the hijab a common practice and “claim that the hijab, like the satellite law, should be according to the wishes of individuals.” The Revolutionary Prosecutor of Tehran said that as long as the country’s laws on “public chastity” and “good morals” are not repealed, they remain in effect.
Jafari Dolatabadi considered breaking the veil as an attempt to push society towards "violating religious values" and said that the Tehran Prosecutor's Office has given the police a written order to seize the vehicles of drivers who are not wearing the Islamic veil.
The Tehran prosecutor announced the seizure of 3,120 vehicles in Tehran over the past two months in connection with the uncovering of the hijab and "noise pollution."
"Cultural Transformation"
Tehran’s prosecutor has declared women’s protests against mandatory hijab to be the result of “enemy planning and investment,” and said an Iranian-American man and his wife had plans for the “cultural transformation” of Iranian society. Jafari Dolatabadi announced that a case has been opened against the man and his wife at the Tehran Prosecutor’s Office.
The Tehran prosecutor claimed that "more than 2,800 liters of foreign and homemade alcoholic beverages were discovered in the couple's home."
Jafari Dolatabadi also claimed that they held "mixed parties" at their home and invited diplomats from foreign countries and Iranian artists to these parties, thereby seeking to "transform" Islamic society culturally.
Dolatabadi is referring to Karen Vafadari and her husband Afarin Nissari, who have been sentenced to 27 and 16 years in prison, respectively, on charges of "acting against national security," and their property has also been confiscated.
