Iran announces public surveillance to enforce religious dress code

Although traffic cameras were previously used to fine drivers for not wearing hijab, this practice had not been officially announced. It has been reported that police are sending warning messages with a photo to women who do not wear hijab in their cars. The Faraja Information Center confirmed this, saying that "smart cameras” will help identify violators of the hijab law, thanks to existing databases from civil registries, banks, police and judiciary.
