Summary
Iran announced plans to open a “hijab removal treatment clinic” to provide “scientific and psychological treatment” for women defying the country’s mandatory hijab laws, sparking outrage from activists and human rights groups.
Critics, including UK-based Iranian journalist Sima Sabet, condemned the clinic as “chilling” and akin to social exclusion.
Human rights lawyer Hossein Raeesi noted the clinic is unprecedented under both Islamic and Iranian law.
The move follows increased arrests, forced disappearances, and alleged abuses in psychiatric facilities targeting women and protesters in breach of hijab laws.
What do women of the same class look like now?
The same when you look at all the party reels on tiktok or insta. Not that I do, but I know someone who has an Iraniam girlfriend and they always party when they go back to Tehran, and they showed me a couple shorts from their trip.
Ive never used Instagram or tiktok.
You are not missing a thing.
Tiktok is not real life. Go watch or read Persepolis. I also know someone from Iran, they don’t go back anymore for good reasons. Things are getting worse there.
The reels that they were showing me on those platform were real. It was literally the person I know and their girlfriend partying on some rooftop Terrace in Tehran.
This was two years ago though. They don’t go back any more either. Things may indeed have changed, but I lack a reliable source.
