June 12, 2026
The public relations office of the Public and Revolutionary Prosecutor’s Office of Sabzevar has issued a notice announcing the intensification of judicial and law enforcement crackdowns on what it termed “norm-breaking.” It declared that the police and judiciary will confront instances including “failure to observe the religious hijab, providing services to individuals without hijab, women riding motorcycles, and walking dogs in public thoroughfares.”
In this notice, the hijab and “Islamic-Iranian attire” are presented as a “religious, legal, and social obligation,” and citizens are requested to report such instances to the police and law enforcement authorities. The Sabzevar Prosecutor’s Office emphasized that upon witnessing or receiving reports concerning these matters, action will be taken “with decisiveness and without leniency.”
The judicial body also called upon citizens to cooperate with the responsible institutions in implementing what it described as “safeguarding public rights and maintaining social order and morality,” and to submit their reports to the police or emergency law enforcement centers.
