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.
Why would the #1 backers of Palestine do this?
I thought that Islam was an open and accepting cult, but now I’m confused because this just seems oppressive and toxic!
Turns out shitty people are going to be shitty regardless of any group affiliation.
With Iran (and Afghanistan) being specifically an Islamic theocracy it can be a bit hard to separate the religion from this equation. Though why the other person decided to bring up Palestine, that’s more of mystery to me.
Leftists told me Iran is the good guy now though
The leftist that lives rent free in your head probably did, not one leftist in the real world (where there is grass and trees) has said this
Deeply disturbing. It’s so easy to forget that this is a picture of Iran in the 1970s.
This is a picture of Tehran’s upper class youth from the 70’s, and it is often posted as if it were everyday life in Iran.
Spoiler: The rich in Iran can still do whatever they want.
…in Teheran, while the rest of the country was pretty much still tribal.
While it’s absolutely true that the average Iranian is vastly, vastly more liberal than their government let’s not turn around and glorify the Shah regime either. You don’t need to go back in time to show Iranians in a positive light.
I just can’t get into the headspace of someone who’s a big enough cunt to think any of this is a good idea. No matter how much slack I try to give conservative nutjobs, no matter how deep into the rabbit hole I imagine going, it’s not just dumb, but obviously dumb.
Did the fuckers who developed Project 2025 copy the Iranians? If not, they will add it.
