Iran announces public surveillance to enforce religious dress code

Sixteen years after Radan first targeted women deemed to be "improperly veiled" in Tehran, he drew a line in the sand for women who refused to comply with mandatory hijab laws. He announced during a televised interview that, starting on April 15, forces under his command will begin patrolling “public roads, cars and commercial establishments.” “Anyone found to be in violation of hijab laws in these areas will be...taken to court for prosecution,” he warned.
