Iran Summons UK And Norwegian Envoys Amid Anti-Hijab Protests

The Islamic Republic of Iran summoned the British and Norwegian ambassadors over what it said was interference and hostile media coverage by London-based Farsi language media outlets of Iran’s unrest triggered by the death of a 22-year-old woman detained by the morality police.

The state-run IRNA news agency said that Iran’s Foreign Ministry summoned Norway’s ambassador to Iran and protested recent remarks by the president of the Norwegian parliament, Masud Gharahkhani. Iranian ministry said that Gharahkhani’s "prejudgment” about the unrest was “wrong” and “unconstructive.”

IRNA also reported on Sunday that Simon Shercliff, a British diplomat and Ambassador to Iran, was called in by the ministry to convey Tehran’s protest to the UK government for hosting the media channels.

The massive protests in Iran were triggered by the death in custody of a young woman, Mahsa Amini, who was detained by Iran’s morality police ten days ago for not wearing her Hijab correctly. Under Iran's sharia (Islamic) law, Iranian women in the country are obliged to cover their hair completely and wear loose-fitting clothes. The morality police are charged with enforcing restrictions on women’s clothing in the country.

Human rights activists and groups said that the Iranian morality police were the reason for Amini’s death. Human rights activists also claimed that the police hit Amini for wearing the Hijab loosely.

The unrest in Tehran, the capital of Iran, has increased to the next level, with a video going viral of a woman burning her Hijab and dancing in the streets. According to Islamic Republic’s law, women are not allowed to show their hair or dance in the country.

Human rights groups said that social media sites, including Instagram, Skype and WhatsApp, have been disabled due to protests. Many Iranian women also opposed the Iranian law, which makes Hijab compulsory for women in the country.
