Summary
Iran’s new “chastity and hijab” laws impose severe penalties, including the death penalty, for women who defy mandatory veiling or engage in related activism.
Repeat offenders face up to 15 years in prison or heavy fines, while those deemed to commit “corruption on Earth” by sharing protests abroad could be executed.
Amnesty International and activists have condemned the law, citing intensified repression and risks to women’s rights.
The legislation follows protests after Mahsa Amini’s death in 2022, with critics warning it further entrenches Iran’s authoritarian crackdown on dissent and gender equality.
Either you vastly misunderstand what communism is or you’re smoking some real bad weed, because Iran is in no way communist.
Anyone who fights against American imperialism is at the very least a honorary communist.
