Iran launches aggressive crackdown on women who defy strict Islamic dress code

Iran launches aggressive crackdown on women who defy strict Islamic dress code LEILA FADEL, HOST: Last month, Iran launched an aggressive new crackdown on women who defy the country's strict Islamic dress code. PETER KENYON, BYLINE: The nationwide protests sparked by the death of a 22-year-old Kurdish woman, Mahsa Amini, in the custody of the morality police may have died down, but individual acts of women defying the compulsory headscarf rules continue and the authorities have launched a new crackdown. Fariba says she was one of the women caught up in the latest hijab enforcement operation launched by Iran's morality police. She says her first experience with the new newer dress code enforcement happened about a month ago while she was waiting to meet a friend on one of Tehran's main boulevards.
