Iran rapidly warns the UN report, in search of headscarf violations to women electronically.

Geneva – Geneva (AP)-Iran rapidly depends on electronic monitoring and public that women publicly refuse to refuse to wear the country’s mandatory headscarf, even pushing for stringent punishment for those who oppose hard-liners law, a United Nations report on Friday.

The findings of the Independent International Fact-Khoj Mission on the Islamic Republic of Iran come after the last year that the country’s psychological “physical violence” was responsible for which Mahsa Amini died. His death led to nationwide protests against the country’s compulsory hijab laws and public disobedience, which continue even today despite violent arrests and threats of imprisonment.

The report stated, “Two and a half years after the protest begins in September 2022, women and girls in Iran face law and behavior, which allows all aspects of their lives, especially in relation to the enforcement of compulsory hijab,” the report said.

“The state is dependent on state-provided vigilance in a clear attempt to recruit businesses and private individuals in hijab compliance, portraying it as a civil responsibility.”

Iran’s mission for the United Nations in New York did not immediately respond to the remarks of the 20-hit report on the findings.

In this, investigators of the United Nations underline how Iran rapidly depends on electronic monitoring. Efforts include the deployment of “aerial drone monitoring” to Iranian officials to monitor women in public places. At the University of Amirkabir in Tehran, the authorities installed facial identification software at their entrance, also found that women have been found not wearing hijab, it has also been said.

Monitoring cameras on Iran’s major roadways are believed to be in search of open women. United Nations investigators said they received the “Nazer” mobile phone app introduced by the Iranian police, which allows the public to report on women open in vehicles, including ambulances, buses, metro cars and taxis.

The report stated, “The users can add the location, date, time and license plate number of the vehicle that caused the alleged compulsory hijab violations, which then warning the police, gives the vehicle online flags,” the report states. “It then triggers a text message (in real time) to the registered owner of the vehicle, warning them that they were found in violation of compulsory hijab laws, and that their vehicles would be engaged to ignore these warnings.”

Those text messages have given rise to dangerous situations. In July 2024, police officials shot and made a woman paralyzed, which activists say that a message was received and a checkpoint was running near the Caspian Sea.

Amini’s death gave rise to months of protest and a security rift, killing over 500 people and caused custody of over 22,000. Following mass demonstrations, the police dialed the enforcement of hijab laws, but in April 2024 it was again ramped as to what the authorities called Noor – or “Light” – Plan. At least 618 women have been arrested under the Noor scheme, the United Nations investigators cited a local human rights activist group in Iran.

Meanwhile, Iran carried out at least 938 people last year, a three -fold increase from 2021, the United Nations said. While many people were convicted for drug allegations, the report states that the execution “indicates a connivance with the overall repression of dissatisfaction in this period.”

As Iran continues its rift on the hijab, it also faces an economic crisis on US sanctions due to a rapidly growing nuclear program. While US President Donald Trump has called for a new conversation, Iran has not yet responded to a letter he sent to his 85 -year -old supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Social unrest, together with economic crises, is a concern for Iran’s democracy.
