Iran-Hijab
A veiled Iranian woman is sitting in front of heart-shaped balloons during the Hijab and Chastity fair at the Imam Khomeini Grand Mosque in downtown Tehran, Iran, on March 27, 2024. Amir Hossein Bankipour, a member of the Iranian Parliament from Isfahan and a member of the Cultural Commission, is saying on the ''Ofogh TV program'' that after the Nowruz holidays, women who do not wear a hijab will not be fined by the police; instead, 30,000,000 Rials (49 USD) will be automatically deducted from their personal bank accounts.
