The Iranian Parliament’s Culture Committee will not consider new bills on wearing the hijab, said official representative of the parliamentary committee on culture Ahmad Rastineh, ISNA reports.
“There is no new bill on modesty and hijab on the agenda of the Cultural Committee of the Iranian Parliament,” he said.
Hossein Jalali, a member of the culture committee of the Iranian parliament, discussed the issue of changing the approach to wearing the hijab, as well as blocking the bank accounts of women who do not wear it. The media and a number of officials interpreted his words as a message that the cultural committee of the Iranian parliament was going to consider a new bill on the hijab.
The issue of wearing the hijab and other types of headscarves, which must necessarily cover the head of any Iranian woman, is connected with the latest unrest in the country. In September, due to the death of Mahsa Amini after being detained by the vice police, mass protests began in Iran. The inhabitants of the country blamed the authorities for the death of Mahsa.
Women began to massively publish videos on social networks in which they cut off their hair and burned the hijab.
