The Iranian Parliament Culture Committee will not consider new bills of hijab, the official representative of the Parliamentary Committee on Culture Ahmad Rabina.
“The agenda of the Iranian Culture Committee does not include consideration of any new bill on the modesty of appearance and hijaba,” said Rastina.
According to the agency, earlier a member of the Culture Committee of Parliament Iran Hosein Jalali discussed the issue of changing the approach to wearing hijab, as well as the blocking of bank accounts of women who do not wear it. The media and a number of officials interpreted his words as a message that the Iranian parliament committee is going to consider a new bill on a hijab.
The question of wearing hijab and other types of scarves that must necessarily cover the head of any Iranian woman is associated with the last riots in the country. In September, due to the death of Mahsa Amini after the police detained morals, mass protests began in Iran. Residents of the country accused the authorities of the death of Mahsa. Women began to be massively published in social networks of videos on which they cut their hair and burned a hijab.
