The spokesman of Iran's judicial system announced today, the 14th of Mahar, that the issue of the hijab has been "criminalized" and announced the judicial surveillance.
Referring to the initiation of special measures against violations of norms, Ali Kazami emphasized: "The legal advisor to the state has been assigned to monitor this matter, and the judicial system, in addition to emphasizing cultural activities, has begun the necessary steps on the subject of "violations of norms and organized actions."
These actions are taking place while last week Hossein Shariatmadari, the editor-in-chief of the Kihan newspaper, wrote a note to the heads of the three powers complaining about what he called "commitment" on the hijab issue.
Earlier, the statements of Golam Ali Hadad Adel, the head of the Persian Academy of Language and Literature, at the Congress of the Students' Union in Salmi attracted a lot of attention. He said that the Iranian government "does not enter the hijab category at the moment because of the war conditions".
