Following the release of a video showing Haydeh Haeri, a veteran actress, pushing a police officer, the police information center announced that this incident is not related to the 'Chastity and Hijab' plan. This announcement comes after a short video of Ms. Haeri was shared on social media, in which she shouts 'You are wrong' while pushing the police officer back. Many social media users have written that this veteran actress engaged with the police in defense of several young girls whom the officers intended to take away due to their opposition to mandatory hijab. Another short video of Haydeh Haeri related to this incident has also been released, where she shouts 'Shame on us as a nation.' The time and location of these videos are not specified, and the police have not released a complete video to substantiate their claims, but the release of these videos has received widespread attention from users on social media. Users praised the 'social responsibility' and participation of this elderly actress in the 'civil resistance' of women against mandatory hijab. After the wide reception of this video, the police information center claimed that this encounter was not related to the so-called 'Hijab and Chastity' plan and that Ms. Haeri's protest was 'against construction operations in the pedestrian area.' The announcement added that 'the police acted with restraint and respect in preserving her dignity.' The police information center did not mention Haydeh Haeri by name, referring to her as 'an elderly citizen' and 'this elderly lady.' Since the increase in the presence of women disregarding the mandatory hijab in public places and police plans to confront them, numerous videos of citizen support and resistance against the police have been released. Some artists, especially several women involved in theater and cinema, have also publicly supported the protesters and removed their hijabs. Some of them have faced judicial and security repercussions.
