The intensification of hijab enforcement came just a week after Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei said that maintaining hijab wearing was of the 'utmost importance' and accused foreigners of 'hiring' women to not wear hijab.
This is the shocking moment a suspected female morality police officer attacked a screaming teenager and forced her to the ground.
Screaming is heard coming from a person in the middle of the group, and it is clear that some of the people are struggling against each other. Footage of the incident was captured in what appears to be a busy public park in Iran - reportedly Borujerd - and shared to social media. The teenager was pushed to the ground by the suspected morality police officer. Her fate was unclear from the footage
She appears to successfully kick the older women off her, who stands up, but then returns to the girl who is lying on the ground and tries to pick her off the floor. 'The citizen who filmed this incident told me that a hijab police officer attempted to brutally arrest the teenage girl for wearing a T-shirt,' she said. 'However, because she screamed for help, people gathered and saved her from the police.'
Tehran last month announced the 'Nour Project', according to the Jerusalem Post , which is aimed at 'dealing with anomalies.' Amini's death unleashed months of mass protests across Iran, and marked the biggest challenge to Iran's clerical leaders in decades. In March, a fact-finding mission mandated by the United Nations said the death of Ms Amini in custody of Iran's morality police was 'unlawful' and caused by violence and that women in the country remain subjected to wide-ranging discrimination.
