A video showing agents of Iran's hijab patrol forcibly arresting a young woman for failing to comply with the mandatory hijab has surfaced showing her being forcibly thrown into a van as brutal crackdowns continue.

According to the person who recorded the video, the hijab patrol has adopted a new strategy where an officer films the reactions of those detained to use as evidence of their behavior in legal proceedings.

The incident has sparked outrage on social media with some users criticizing bystanders for merely recording the event rather than intervening to help the young woman.

One user expressed frustration, saying, "These savages live among us; identifying them is the easiest thing, throwing paint at them or scaring them... Why don't you fight instead of crying, screaming, and being scared? Are we to become more miserable than this? Poorer than this?"

The crackdown is part of what the Iranian regime describes as a "national and public demand." Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has launched a street war to intensify the enforcement of hijab laws under a new initiative named the Noor plan.

Morality police have returned to the streets with renewed intensity, particularly around the central districts of Tehran, marked by an increased number of police patrols, vans, and motorcycle units.

The incident is reminiscent of the 2022 death of 22-year-old Kurdish Iranian Mahsa Amini, who died in morality police custody after having suffered severe head injuries. Her death ignited the most significant protests against the regime since the establishment of the Islamic Republic.
