Iran's New Dress Code Bill: Potential 10-Year Jail Term for Violations
Iran's parliament passes a stricter dress code bill, suggesting up to 10 years of jail time for those not adhering. Stemming from the nation's interpretation of Sharia law, the bill's emergence follows the tragic death of Mahsa Amini and subsequent nationwide protests. Before becoming a law, the Guardian Council must approve the bill. The United Nations has labeled it as a potential form of "gender apartheid."
