  1. #Reformist #Pezeshkian beats hard-liner to win Iran presidential election, promising outreach to West

    DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — "Reformist candidate #MasoudPezeshkian won Iran’s runoff presidential election Saturday, besting #hardliner #SaeedJalili by promising to reach out to the West and ease enforcement on the country’s mandatory #headscarf law after years of sanctions and #protests squeezing the Islamic Republic.

    "Pezeshkian promised no radical changes to Iran’s Shiite theocracy in his campaign and long has held Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as the final arbiter of all matters of state in the country. But even Pezeshkian’s modest aims will be challenged by an Iranian government still largely held by hard-liners, the ongoing #IsraelHamas war in the #Gaza Strip, and Western fears over Tehran enriching uranium to near-weapons-grade levels with enough of a stockpile to produce several #nuclearweapons if it chose.

    "A vote count offered by authorities put Pezeshkian as the winner with 16.3 million votes to Jalili’s 13.5 million in Friday’s election. Overall, Iran’s Interior Ministry said 30 million people voted in an election held without internationally recognized monitors, representing a turnout of 49.6% — higher than the historic low of the June 28 first round vote but lower than other presidential races."

  3. #Iran passes stricter #headscarf law days after #protest anniversary

    By Associated Press Reporters

    "Iran’s parliament has approved a Bill to impose heavier penalties on women who refuse to wear the mandatory Islamic headscarf in public and those who support them.

    "The move came just days after the anniversary of the death of #MahsaAmini, a 22-year-old woman who had been detained by the so-called morality #police for violating the country’s dress code.

    "Her death in custody ignited months of #protests in which many called for the overthrow of Iran’s theocracy.

    "The 70-item Bill extends punishments to business owners who serve women not wearing the mandatory headscarf, known as the #hijab, and #activists who organise against it. Violators could face up to 10 years in prison if the offence occurs in an organised way.

    "The Bill, which was approved by 152 politicians in Iran’s 290-seat parliament, requires ratification by the Guardian Council, a clerical body that serves as constitutional watchdog. It would take effect for a preliminary period of three years.

    "The demonstrations sparked by Ms Amini’s death on September 16, 2022, died down early this year following a heavy crackdown on dissent in which more than 500 protesters were killed and around 22,000 detained.

    "But many women continued to flaunt the rules on wearing the hijab, prompting a new campaign to enforce them over the summer.

    "Iran’s clerical rulers view the hijab law as a key pillar of the Islamic Republic and blamed the protests on Western nations, without providing evidence.

    "The protesters said they were motivated by anger over the dress code as well as what they see as the corruption and poor governance of the country’s ruling clerics."

  8. As much of a doomer I am about the future, seeing stuff like this actually does give me a small bit of hope for a global future.

    May the void bless all of the brave women in Iran and around the world who continue to risk it all in the name of freedom.

    If the teacher wore the cap in his sparetime off-premises, he is within his rights until #TFG has been criminally sentenced.

    At school, mono-dimensionally expressing ones political opinions in this way might, e.g., intimidate or impress students.

    Likewise, some democratic countries prohibit female teachers from wearing a #headscarf for religious reasons in public #schools (e.g. #France).

    Ms #Rekabi was hailed as a hero of the #protest movement in #Iran when she participated in an event in South Korea without her #headscarf in October. She later said it had been an accident - although activists say she was put under pressure to say so.

  11. CW: My first #HeadwrapOfTheDay on Mastodon!

    For anyone who didn’t follow me on Twitter, I post these photos generally a few times a week to show off my various #headscarf (or #headwrap) styles. I wear a headwrap most days for a few reasons:

    1) Dealing with 4B/4C hair when you have an energy-limiting illness is EXHAUSTING- the scarf makes it easier

    2) I’ve realised I like the sensation of slight pressure around my head (like a head hug!)

    3) The original reason- they’re pretty!!
