Closure of 7 cafes and restaurants in Savadkuh due to failure to observe hijab

Seven cafes and restaurants in Savadkuh have been sealed due to the lack of observing hijab.

The prosecutor of Savadkuh says that seven cafes and restaurants in this area have been sealed off due to the prevalence of unveiled women and public fasting.

Mohammad Khanlari, the prosecutor of Savadkuh, told Fars News Agency that these seven cafes and restaurants have been sealed off because of the prevalence of unveiled women, non-compliance with moral and Islamic laws and fasting.

In recent months, an increasing number of women in Iran have been seen in public places without the required headscarf and clothing mandated by the government.

Domestic news agencies have reported the sealing off of hundreds of businesses in various cities of Iran since mid-February due to non-compliance with hijab regulations. These closures have sparked widespread controversy and critics argue that they are a covert means of implementing moral police and censorship.
