Iranian authorities are considering a new law that would require women to wear hijab and impose severe punishments for non-compliance. The move comes ahead of the first anniversary of protests triggered by the death of a woman who allegedly violated the dress code. The proposed law could lead to longer prison terms and higher fines for those not wearing the hijab. It also suggests using artificial intelligence to identify offenders. Critics fear this could infringe on personal freedoms and exacerbate tensions in the country.
