An Iranian monarchist who filmed herself pulling the headscarves off Iranians in London fled to Israel after UK police announced they were investigating her.

The woman allegedly responsible is an Iranian pro-Israel activist called Bahar Mahroo, who later closed her Instagram and TikTok accounts and claimed she found the videos online. However, a reserve image search found no sources for the video, other than her Twitter account.

    How can you enforce any clothing is worn voluntarily? A partner could coerce someone to dress as modestly / revealingly as they want and you would need to rely on them to say they are being coerced.

      Exactly so you ban the clothing that was traditionally used to coerce someone. There is a difference between colored socks and a hijab

        Where’s the line? Because controlling men force women to cover up all the time with all sorts of pieces of clothing.

          The line is drawn with systemic issues with “culture”. If banning ultimately better for society, then ban it.
