Iran to Use Facial Recognition Technology to Enforce Grim New Laws on Women
(Mirror UK) The Iranian regime is introducing a heavy crackdown on women who do not bow to its strict rules on wearing the hijab by using facial recognition technology. The Secretary of Iran's Headquarters for Promoting Virtue and Preventing Vice announced the policy would come as part of a new decree by President Ebrahim Raisi. The oppressive rules mean the technology would be used on public transport to identify women who are not complying with the rules. Women in the country can be arrested for the "crime" and even flogged and sent to prison, facing "morality checkpoints" to ensure they adhere to the rules.
