Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi on 09 August vowed that the Islamic Republic’s mandatory dress code, including laws requiring women to wear the hijab, will be enforced. The statement came a month before the first anniversary of Mahsa Amini’s death in police custody, following her arrest for not wearing the hijab properly. Since then, a growing number of women in the country have been defying authorities by removing the headscarf. EPA/ABEDIN TAHERKENAREH
