The Tehran Criminal Court has issued a two-year sentence, suspended for five years, to acclaimed actress Afsaneh Bayegan for alleged non-compliance with Hijab regulations.

Additionally, Bayegan has been subjected to a travel ban and restrictions on her online activities. The court has also mandated her to provide a summary of a book and attend a psychology institute to obtain a health certificate related to the so-called “Anti-family personality disorder.”

Bayegan had previously informed the public about her summons to court for charges of “acting against chastity and public morality.” Notably, the Tehran Police had recently announced legal action against the actress for not wearing Hijab during a ceremony honoring actor Atila Pesyani.

In recent months, the Iranian regime has escalated legal measures targeting citizens to enforce the compulsory wearing of Hijab on women.
