Refusing to wear a hijab is a "mentally ill"...Iran to establish psychiatric hospital for treatment [Now News]

The Iranian government has defined women who refuse to wear hijabs as "mentally ill" and said it will establish a dedicated mental hospital to accommodate them.

On the 13th local time, Iran International and the British Telegraph reported that the Iranian government had announced plans to establish a "hijab-unworn clinic" in the capital Tehran.

The facility is said to be directly operated by the Gwonseong Jingak Headquarters, which oversees Iran's adherence to religious norms.

"The facility will provide scientific and psychological treatment for hijab rejection, especially for teenagers and young adults seeking Islamic identity," said Kehri Talevi Drestani, head of the Women and Family Department at the Kwon Sung Jingak Headquarters.

"We will provide mental support to those who have difficulty wearing hijab and help them accept neat clothes naturally," he added.

Recently, women who refuse to wear hijab forcibly continue to resist in Iran.

Earlier this month, a girl was arrested at the Islamic Azad University in Tehran after protesting the hijab crackdown in her underwear, and the government announced that the student was "in need of treatment," but some claimed that she had been taken to a mental hospital.
