Hijab fight at Qassem Soleimani’s grave in Iran

It was claimed that a fight broke out between Iranian citizens who went on vacation in the southern Iranian province of Kerman and those who visited the grave of the former commander of the Quds Force of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Army (DMO, for his acronym in English), Qassem Soleimani, by the “scarf on the head” and one person died.

In images shared on social media, it is claimed that the argument that broke out after warning a person in Kirman state for not wearing the headscarf properly turned into a fight.

A fight was reported to have broken out between vacationers and those visiting the grave of Quds Force commander Soleimani, who was killed in the US attack on the Iraqi capital Baghdad on January 3, 2020. near Baghdad International Airport. In the shared images, it was seen that there was a fight with stones and fists between the two groups, some vacationers, including women and children, took refuge in the bus, and a person who received a blow to the head fainted.

According to the official Iranian agency IRNA, the governor of the Kerman district, Ali Babayi, made a statement on the subject.
District Governor Babayi said: “Some people were injured in the fight that broke out for personal reasons in the Mahan district of Kirman. “Unfortunately, a 59-year-old woman died of a heart attack,” he said. Babaji said that those involved in the fight have been captured and an investigation has been launched on the matter and details of the cause of the fight will be announced later.

THE TENSION CONTINUES WITH THE SHIRT

Mahsa Amini, 22, died on September 16 in Tehran, the capital of Iran, on September 13, 2022.

Demonstrations that began after Amini’s death spread across the country, turning into anti-government protests, with hundreds of people losing their lives in the protests. Thousands of people were detained in the country for protesting Emini’s death and opposing the mandatory dress code.

Despite the end of the demonstrations, women in many parts of Iran continue to protest by not covering their heads in public places, shopping malls, cafes, banks, schools, and streets.

The Ministry of the Interior and the Judiciary announced that measures will be taken against those who violate the rule of mandatory use of the veil and indicated that the cameras in the streets and avenues will be used for inspections of the veil.

From time to time disputes arise between people in the country on the grounds of “not wearing the headscarf properly”, and businesses that provide services to those who do not comply with the headscarf rule are sealed off.
In Iran, vehicles in which they violate the veiling rules are detected by cameras and the vehicle owner is warned with a text message. The cars of those who do not heed the warning are prohibited from transit for 15 days. If the incident is repeated after this period, it is stated that the vehicle will be repossessed. (AA)
