Photograph: Abedin Taherkenareh/EPA]In a further attempt to rein in increasing numbers of women defying the compulsory dress code, Iranian authorities are installing cameras in public places and thoroughfares to identify and penalise unveiled women, the police announced on Saturday.

After they have been identified, violators will receive “warning text messages as to the consequences”, police said in a statement. The move is aimed at “preventing resistance against the hijab law,” said the statement, carried by the judiciary’s Mizan news agency and other state media, adding that such resistance tarnishes the country’s spiritual image and spreads insecurity.

A growing number of Iranian women have been ditching their veils since the death of a 22-year-old Kurdish woman in the custody of the morality police last September.

The persecution of women in Iran just never stops.

Iran is now doing what all governments are doing around the world led by left wing western governments - make sure that every facet of people’s lives are controlled. “If you have nothing to hide, what are you worried about” — leftist line
