Iran uses drones and intrusive digital technologies to crush disagreement, especially among women who refuse to obey a strict DRES -code of the Islamic Republic, the United Nations said.
Investigators say Iranian security officials use a “state careful intensity” strategy to encourage people to use specialized telephone applications to notice women for alleged dress code violations in private cars such as taxi and ambulances.
Their new report also emphasizes the increase in the use of drones and security cameras to control Hijab in Tehran and Southern Iran.
For women who challenge the law or protest against them, the consequences are serious – arrest, beating and even rape in custody.
Conclusion An independent international mission to search for facts in the Islamic Republic of Iran comes after last year determined that the country’s theocracy was responsible for “physical violence” that led to death Mahs Amini in 2022.
Witnesses said the 22-year-old Kurd was heavily beaten by police during her arrest, but the authorities denied that she was severely treated and accused of “sudden heart failure” of her death. Her murder caused a great wave of protests that continue today, despite threat from brutal arrest and imprisonment.
“Two and a half years after the protests began in September 2022, women and girls in Iran continue to face systematic discrimination, in law and in practice that pervades all aspects of their lives, especially in relation to the compulsory hijab,” the statement said.
“The state is increasingly dependent on the state careful force in the obvious efforts to enlist enterprises and individuals in accordance with Hijab, reflecting it as civic responsibility.”
At Tehran University of AMIRKABIR, the authorities have installed a personality recognition software at their entrance gates to also find women who do not wear hijab, the report said.
Camera observation On the main roads of Iran is also used searching uncovered women.
Investigators also said they received the Nazer mobile phone application proposed by the Iranian police, which allows “proven” public and police officers to report uncovered women in vehicles, including ambulances, subway buses and taxi.
“Users can add location, date, time and number of the car number, which had allegedly a mandatory violation of the hijab, which then” flag “on the Internet, warning the police,” the report said.
According to the report, the registered owner of the vehicle is sent a text message, warning that they were found in violation of mandatory hijab laws. Cars can be laid to ignore the warnings, he added.
UN investigators interrogated almost 300 victims and witnesses, they also deepened into the Iranian judicial system, which, according to them, lacked real independence. According to their report, the victims of torture and other violations were also persecuted, and their families were “systematically intimidated”.
They also found evidence of extrajudicial shootings of three children and three adult participants, who were later rejected by the state as suicide.
The report also found additional detention cases, citing the case of one arrested woman, who was severely beaten, was subjected to two layouts of shootings, raped, and then with replicas.
The report will be presented by the Human Rights Council on March 18.
