A young woman in Karaj, west of Tehran, has been arrested and subjected to forced confession after a video of her not wearing a hijab surfaced online.

The incident came to light when a video of a man harassing the woman during a religious procession went viral on social media. In the video, the man accuses her of violating the procession's sanctity and insults her for not wearing the hijab. He further alleges that she insulted a security official and disturbed public opinion.

On Friday, the Judiciary released a short video of her forced confession, stating that she committed "blasphemy" during the religious procession in Alborz province. The circumstances surrounding the confession have raised concerns about potential coercion and violations of human rights.

Political activist Mahboubeh Moradi shared the arrested woman's original statements on social media, where she firmly declares her commitment to her beliefs and refuses to be intimidated. "I am a woman; Don't scare me. I stand by my beliefs.... The time when we were afraid of you is over," the woman declared in the video.

In recent weeks, the morality police have returned to the streets, and the judiciary has issued unusual and controversial rulings, such as mandating the washing of dead bodies and sending women to psychiatric centers.

Despite these measures, women's civil disobedience against compulsory hijab continues to spread throughout Iran.
