A year since Mahsa Amini's death in police custody for wearing a hijab improperly, "Iran’s parliament has passed a new 'hijab and chastity' bill that lays out punishment for people, especially women, who violate the country’s mandatory dress code rules." aljazeera.com/news/2023/9/20…

Iran’s parliament approves ‘hijab bill’; harsh punishments for violations

The bill defines an array of punishments for violators of a mandatory dress code, including fines and prison terms.
