Following the widespread circulation of a video on social media showing the sexual harassment of a young woman by a motorcyclist, the Tehran police announced the formation of a case against this woman for not adhering to mandatory hijab laws, as well as against the motorcyclist for harassment. The Tehran police's information center confirmed the authenticity of the video on Saturday, November 12, stating that the incident occurred on November 10 on Africa Street. According to the police announcement, the young woman seen in the video was 'introduced to the judicial authority due to non-compliance with hijab law.' It remains unclear from the police statement whether this woman was arrested or if a case was merely formed against her. Additionally, the announcement stated that a case was formed against the motorcyclist 'for creating disturbance for women and sent to the judicial authority for legal proceedings.' On Friday, a citizen shared a video of herself being sexually harassed on the sidewalk, writing on the social media platform X: 'A scene of being a woman in Iran'; this account was later taken down. Despite the electoral promises of Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian, the crackdown on women and the security forces' actions against protesters of the mandatory hijab continue and have intensified. The severe government repression and the risk of protests going 'underground' are evident in the accounts of doctors and eyewitnesses regarding the injured in protests. Reports indicate that 400 people were killed in Mashhad, and a journalist noted that Tehran smells of death. Eyewitness accounts describe the massacre and the conditions in several cities in Isfahan province as 'like war-torn areas.' The last representative of Mossad in Tehran passed away amid the Iranian crisis. Trump announced an agreement to hold a meeting about Greenland in Davos. ISIS prisoners escaped from prison simultaneously with the withdrawal of Kurdish militants from Raqqa and Deir ez-Zor.
