Posted on 14th Oct 2022 by rohit kumar

In Iran, anti-hijab protests, which have been going on for almost a month, have spread to 30 cities. Despite all the efforts of the government, the protests are not being stopped. Meanwhile, Iran's education minister says that the mental condition of the school and college girls who oppose the hijab is not good.

 

He said- All these girl students are suffering from mental illness. These girl students are being admitted to the psychiatric hospital. So that the anti-social behavior that is flourishing among these girl students can be corrected.

 

more than 200 people died

Iranian police once again fired and lathi-charged anti-hijab protesters in Kurdistan on Thursday night. Violent demonstrations continue in 10 cities of Kurdistan. So far more than 210 people have died in police firing. More than two thousand people have been arrested. Protesters clash with police in Kurdistan's Karnamshah city. Two policemen have also been reported killed in this clash.

 

Revolutionary Guards Deployed

The police have failed to suppress anti-hijab demonstrations in Iran. Seeing the failure of President Ibrahim Rahisi's government, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei has now deployed the Revolutionary Guards (a branch of the army) to crush the movement. Most Revolutionary Guards have been deployed in Kurdistan.

 

4 reasons to perform

On September 16, when the movement in Iran intensified, the police had the responsibility to deal with the situation, but after this, the police were removed and Khamenei's trusted Revolutionary Guards were put in. The government wants to suppress the movement from them.

 

how the violence broke out

On September 13, Iran police arrested a young woman named Mahsa Amini for not wearing a hijab. He died three days later, that is, on 16 September. According to Iranian media reports, Amini went into a coma just hours after her arrest. He was taken to the hospital. Reports said that Amini died of a head injury. Police claimed that Amini died due to a heart attack.

 

fine for not wearing a hijab

Although the hijab was mandated in Iran in 1979, on August 15, President Ibrahim Raisi signed order and was asked to strictly enforce it as a dress code. Also fine was imposed.

 

The compulsory wearing of the hijab came into force after the Islamic Revolution of 1979.

Before 1979, under the rule of Shah Pahlavi, Iran was quite independent in the matter of women's clothing.

 

On 8 January 1936, Raza Shah implemented Kashf-e-Hijab. That is, if a woman wears a hijab, the police will take her off.

 

In 1941, Shah Raza's son Mohammad Reza took over the rule and banned the Kashf-e-Hijab. He allowed women to wear the dress of their choice.

 

In 1963, Mohammad Reza Shah gave women the right to vote, and women were also elected to the Parliament.

 

In 1967, Iran's law was also reformed in women got equal rights.

 

The age of marriage for girls was raised from 13 to 18 years. Also, abortion was made a legal right.

 

Emphasis was laid on increasing the participation of girls in studies. By the 1970s, the share of girls in Iran's universities was 30%.

 

In 1979, Shah Reza Pahlavi had to leave the country and Iran became the Islamic Republic. Ayotollah Ruhollah Khomeini, a Shia religious leader, was made the Supreme Leader of Iran. From here Iran became a stronghold of Shia Islam in the world. Khomeini significantly curtailed women's rights.
