The authorities said she was taken to a psychiatric institution. The fact that there is no name / surname for that young woman may make everything very complicated for her

Why are they so concerned about a woman showing her hair? and why is it ok for men to show theirs?

I watch some reels done by a lady who is an Orthodox Jew.  The number of rules they have to follow is insane.  One of them is covering their hair after marriage.  I suppose I can understand dressing modestly but the hair covering (with hair - as in wigs) boggles my mind a bit.

I was once asked to leave a church in Malta, we were looking around and a woman asked my wife to cover her knees (we were both wearing shorts) and handed her a skirt, I asked if I needed one because my knees were exposed as well! She didn't like that someone could dare to question her!

The name is Ahu Daiari. This means she will probably get out of this situation alive:

The Latest name is Kianoosh Sanjari. This is a 43 year old Iranian American. He was first arrested in 1999. Then he was released in 2007 and moved to the US. Then he returned to his country in a way that is similar to the Russian pro-democracy activist Alexei Navalny (who died in February in a Russian prison colony near Moscow). Finally, he took his own life after tweeting to his followers from the top of a five storied building.

Islam has just started to regulate science. I won’t be surprised if the Mullah declare something like “The Scientific Republic of Iran”.
 
They just decided that judges could send people to psychiatric institutions if decide to not wear the Hijab:

Sorry for posting in this old topic.
 
But there is a new window of opportunity here. The son of the last Iranian monarch who died in 1980 about a year after the “Islamic” revolution says he is ready to play a role in a 100 day transition period that aims to give political power back to the Iranian people:

This is happening in a time in which the IRI does not care anymore about its 4 million “Brothers in faith” from Afghanistan and is sending them back to live under Taliban Rule:
