Iranian criminal courts will begin prosecuting individuals who call for women to remove their head coverings without the right to appeal against convictions, Reuters quoted Iran's deputy attorney general.
Of late, an increasing amount of Iranian women have been defying the Islamic Republic's dress code, with celebrities and activists even posting photos of themselves to social media without a hijab.
According to local media, police installed cameras in public places on Saturday to identify and penalize uncovered women. Police announced the plan last week.
"The crime of promoting unveiling will be dealt with in the criminal court whose decisions are final and unappealable," the semi-official Mehr News quoted Deputy Attorney General Ali Jamadi as saying.
"The punishment for the crime of promoting and encouraging others to remove the hijab is much heavier than the crime of removing the hijab itself because it is one of the clear examples of encouraging corruption," he added.
Jamadi did not specify the punishment or what would be considered a "promotion" of hijab removal.
Since the death of 22-year-old Kurdish woman Mahsa Amini in morality police custody in September, there has been tremendous backlash among Iran's people against the regime's modesty laws.
