"Shiraz City Governor Lotfollah Shibani announced January 26 that local merchants are required to deny services to unveiled women. He warned that the regime recently closed a dentist’s office due to the presence of unveiled staff and patients. Shibani’s announcement reflects Iranian authorities’ efforts to resume mass enforcement of the mandatory hijab law. The regime has refocused on enforcing widespread adherence to the hijab requirement in recent weeks after briefly and informally relaxing such restrictions in late 2022."1
