Summary
Iran announced plans to open a “hijab removal treatment clinic” to provide “scientific and psychological treatment” for women defying the country’s mandatory hijab laws, sparking outrage from activists and human rights groups.
Critics, including UK-based Iranian journalist Sima Sabet, condemned the clinic as “chilling” and akin to social exclusion.
Human rights lawyer Hossein Raeesi noted the clinic is unprecedented under both Islamic and Iranian law.
The move follows increased arrests, forced disappearances, and alleged abuses in psychiatric facilities targeting women and protesters in breach of hijab laws.
Deeply disturbing. It’s so easy to forget that this is a picture of Iran in the 1970s.
Imagine the world without America / Israel invading anywhere that showed any sign of building a socialist society.
…in Teheran, while the rest of the country was pretty much still tribal.
While it’s absolutely true that the average Iranian is vastly, vastly more liberal than their government let’s not turn around and glorify the Shah regime either. You don’t need to go back in time to show Iranians in a positive light.
Who downvoted this, and why?
This is a picture of Tehran’s upper class youth from the 70’s, and it is often posted as if it were everyday life in Iran.
Spoiler: The rich in Iran can still do whatever they want.
What do women of the same class look like now?
The same when you look at all the party reels on tiktok or insta. Not that I do, but I know someone who has an Iraniam girlfriend and they always party when they go back to Tehran, and they showed me a couple shorts from their trip.
Ive never used Instagram or tiktok.
You are not missing a thing.
Fascists.
