While domestic media report on the intensification of harsh measures regarding 'improper hijab' and 'disobedient' women, a newspaper affiliated with the IRGC states that the situation of 'improper hijab' has worsened. The news website 'Entekhab' reported on Wednesday, June 14, citing the police spokesperson, that legal cases have been formed against three hundred citizens in line with the 'Chastity and Hijab' plan, stating: 'Since April 15 of this year, over 99,000 text messages regarding hijab violations have been sent to vehicle owners.' According to 'Entekhab', Montazeralmahdi added: 'Owners of vehicles who receive hijab violation messages will receive a system seizure message upon a second violation, and subsequently, their vehicle will be seized. So far, two thousand physical seizures have been executed, and over four thousand cases of violators have been referred to judicial centers.' The police spokesperson also emphasized the continuation of crackdowns on locations and businesses, stating: 'Since April 15, the police have been monitoring hijab and chastity issues in places, shops, public spaces, and cyberspace, introducing violators to the judiciary.' Simultaneously, the 'Javan' newspaper affiliated with the IRGC wrote: 'Improper hijab is becoming more widespread daily, from educational centers to hospitals, recreational areas, and shopping malls, from movies and home series to the streets and public spaces, and inside taxis, buses, and subways.' The writer of this newspaper expressed concern over the spread of civil disobedience regarding 'hijab', adding: 'Various individuals in every position and role easily mock Islamic values and exacerbate the problem of improper hijab without being compelled to comply with current laws.'
