Simultaneously with the news of the presence of "Hijab Enforcers" in Tehran's markets and statements from some officials of the Islamic Republic regarding the necessity of "mandatory hijab," images have been published showing banners installed in various cities across Iran, threatening women with legal punishment for not adhering to the government's hijab requirements.

These banners reference Clause 638 of the Islamic Penal Code, stating: "The presence of women without proper hijab in public places is a crime and carries a penalty of imprisonment."

The installed banners also refer to Articles 7 and 9 of the law known as "Support for Promoters of Virtue and Preventers of Vice." In the explanation of Article 7, it is stated that individuals who obstruct "promotion of virtue and prevention of vice" will not be eligible for a reduction or suspension of punishment.
