Iran plans to open a "treatment facility" for women defying mandatory hijab laws, sparking global outrage. The clinic, announced by Mehri Talebi Darestani, aims to provide "scientific and psychological treatment" for hijab removal. Critics, including human rights groups, argue it escalates the crackdown on women’s rights. Amnesty International and activists warn of forced medication and torture in such facilities. The proposal follows increased arrests, disappearances, and Mahsa Amini’s 2022 death, which ignited mass protests. Critics, including lawyer Hossein Raisi, call the clinic un-Islamic and illegal. Surveillance tech and stricter enforcement underline the state’s prioritisation of control over economic issues.
