A public prosecutor issued arrest warrants against both the assailant (for throwing yogurt) and the two women (for not wearing the hijab).
One day before the video emerged, the Ministry of Interior issued a statement insisting on the need to enforce the Islamic Republic’s forced hijab rule and praising vigilantes who are acting as “promoters of virtue and preventers of vice.”
In its statement on March 30, the ministry announced that “there has been no retreat, and there will be no retreat or leniency when it comes to religious rulings and principles and traditional values.”
“As an unquestionable requirement of Sharia [law], hijab will always be a principle of the Islamic Republic,” it added.
