Iran has paused the implementation of a new law requiring women to wear the hijab, which could have led to mass protests similar to those after Mahsa Amini's death. The law, approved in September 2023, imposes harsher penalties for non-compliance.

Amini's death in 2022 sparked widespread protests, leading to a crackdown that resulted in numerous casualties and detentions. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
