Summary

Iran announced plans to open a “hijab removal treatment clinic” to provide “scientific and psychological treatment” for women defying the country’s mandatory hijab laws, sparking outrage from activists and human rights groups.

Critics, including UK-based Iranian journalist Sima Sabet, condemned the clinic as “chilling” and akin to social exclusion.

Human rights lawyer Hossein Raeesi noted the clinic is unprecedented under both Islamic and Iranian law.

The move follows increased arrests, forced disappearances, and alleged abuses in psychiatric facilities targeting women and protesters in breach of hijab laws.

    They are at odds with the US because they put the Shah of iran in the first place, who was a dictator.

    Kinda like they’re now whining about putting after clinton sent yeltsin to destroy the soviet union and the eastern block got nothing to eat for ten years

    Kinda like they whined about Ben Laden

    It’s all self-inflicted really. And let’s be honest, this is still better than the palestinian genocide. The west put the bar very low lmao

      I wasn’t really commenting on why they are “at odds”, just that since they are, some go USA bad -> Iran good.
