Judiciary Enforcement on Iranshahr Street
The outlet reported that the detentions were executed following the direct intervention of the Tehran prosecutor's office as part of ongoing judicial measures to confront public defiance of mandatory hijab regulations.
According to the state-linked publication, the arrests targeted individuals whom authorities characterized as agents actively promoting unveiling and immodesty in public spaces. Iranian judicial officials claimed that those detained on Iranshahr Street were openly fostering non-compliance with religious dress requirements, alleging that their presence formed part of organized social currents operating in the city.
Directives from the Judiciary Leadership
The enforcement actions on Iranshahr Street align with directives issued by the head of Iran's judiciary aimed at identifying and suppressing organized conduct that breaches dress codes. Javan Online reported that judicial authorities have prioritized decisive legal action against activities that the state categorizes as social anomalies, explicitly highlighting unveiling and public non-compliance as targets for legal intervention.
Under these directives, prosecutorial bodies and judicial officers have been instructed to escalate legal confrontations against individuals accused of promoting the removal of mandatory headcoverings.
Tehran Prosecutor Issues Warning to the Public
Following the detentions on Iranshahr Street, the Tehran prosecutor's office issued a formal warning to the public regarding compliance with mandatory dress laws. The prosecutor's office emphasized that judicial authorities, acting in coordination with law enforcement officers and judicial enforcement agents, will decisively confront any conduct deemed to encourage unveiling or social laxity across the capital.
The prosecutor's announcement stated that all such actions will be met with strict legal procedures in accordance with Iranian law.
