Iranian women could face death penalty for defying new morality laws
Execution, long jail terms and big fines for ‘promoting’ nudity, unveiling or improper dressing come into force
Summary
Iran’s new “chastity and hijab” laws impose severe penalties, including the death penalty, for women who defy mandatory veiling or engage in related activism.
Repeat offenders face up to 15 years in prison or heavy fines, while those deemed to commit “corruption on Earth” by sharing protests abroad could be executed.
Amnesty International and activists have condemned the law, citing intensified repression and risks to women’s rights.
The legislation follows protests after Mahsa Amini’s death in 2022, with critics warning it further entrenches Iran’s authoritarian crackdown on dissent and gender equality.
The US really set the Iranian people up for failure by playing a key role in the 1953 coup that overthrew Mohammad Mosaddeq. Just imagine how different things there would be today. But nope, CIA had to fuck around and heavily contribute to screwing over an entire population for generations.
Edit: I shouldn't have forgotten Britain's SIS role, either. It was their oil industry that Mohammad was campaigning to nationalize, after all.
Nothing says, "moral" than murdering people for what clothing they wear.
I hope this backfires on the government
I’ve met many excellent Iranian people who were incredibly smart and fun to be around. They had left and come to Canada or the US for work and built a life here.
It’s a tragedy how their government treats women.
Backward degenerates.

Shush, this article isn't about US Politics.
As someone who grew up Muslim, this goes against some very basic pillars of islam. This country, and all "religious" governments in fact, never actually follow the religion they use to control their people. It's corruption to the root. If those religions were real (me being a god has the same Probability) then they're all burning in hell forever without redemption. Not what I would've done as a god, but I'm not an asshole.
Could?
