Brutales Vorgehen gegen Frauen ohne Hijab im Iran geht auf direkte Order Khameneis zurück

In den vergangenen Wochen kam es im Iran erneut zu massiver Gewalt und Repressionen gegen Frauen, die den Zwangshijab nicht oder nicht ordnungsgemäß trugen.

Dies geht wohl auf eine direkte Order von Oberchef Ayatollah Ali al Khamenei zurück:

The latest brutal crackdown enforcing hijab comes on the direct orders of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, Tehran’s police chief has revealed.

Abbas Ali Mohammadian hailed the repressive measures – dubbed the "Nour [light] Initiative" - as "successful" amid increasing reports of violence committed by morality police agents against women in Iran's cities.

"After the Supreme Leader's directive, the police put this project on their agenda," Mohammadian said on Wednesday.

During a meeting with other police staff, he suggested they have "more patience" and work harder to accomplish their mission "better" without providing details on what that means. (...)

In his speech in early April, he described hijab defiance as "an imposed challenge". He said "the enemies" aimed to revert women's status to pre-Islamic Revolution times when their behavior, attitude, and presence were considered unacceptable.

"The issue of hijab has become a challenge and imposed on our country. They imposed this," he stated.

"Today, they are focused on the issue of removing women's hijab, but this is the first step; it is not the last step. This is not their goal. The enemy's goal is to return the country to the state of pre-revolution when scandalous conditions prevailed," he added.
