7 Women Held for Sharing Modeling Content on Social Media

Authorities in Bushehr Province have detained seven women for their involvement in sharing social media content related to modeling. 

According to the Rokna news agency, their Instagram posts have been removed, and their electronic devices confiscated.

These arrests took place under the banner of a police initiative dubbed "Nour," according to the police commander of Bushehr province. 

The individuals apprehended were reportedly engaged in various businesses, with one as a model, four in content creation, and two as photographers.

Since April 13, Iran's law enforcement agencies have intensified enforcement of hijab regulations under the national action plan "Nour." 

Incidents of arrests and the use of force against women perceived to be in violation of dress codes have been reported.

Users across social networks are participating in a spontaneous campaign, using the hashtag "war against women," to document their experiences and observations regarding the government's crackdown on opponents of the mandatory hijab. 

Reports have surfaced detailing the application of repressive tactics, particularly focusing on female students in various universities. 

Moreover, pressure on civil activists, political dissenters, women political prisoners, and cultural figures is mounting.
