Moderator hijabu imenasa kwenye Ngazi ya umeme yaani escalator na siyo kwenye Nguzo ya umeme hivyo rekebisha kichwa cha habari
Wadau hamjamboni nyote?
Sio mara ya kwanza ajali za aina hii kutokea na kupelekea vifo vibaya vya wanawake nchini Iran huku hijab zikihusishwa
Sheria hii kandamizi ifutwe mara moja

A woman in Tehran died after her veil became entangled in an escalator, marking the latest fatal accident linked to country's mandatory hijab laws.
The incident took place in eastern Tehran's Damavand Street last Thursday, according to a report by Tehran-based Didban News website.
Although the report referenced other incidents involving malfunctioning and poorly maintained escalators, it noted that the direct cause of this woman's death was her hijab getting caught.
The case is not the first time Iran’s compulsory hijab rules have been linked to fatal accidents involving women.
On November 7, 2021, Iranian media reported that 21-year-old Marzieh Taherian died at a spinning workshop in Semnan, northern Iran, after her headscarf became caught in a machine, pulling her head inside.
On June 5, 2023, a 26-year-old female worker at a plastic injection molding workshop in the northeastern Iranian city of Neyshabur, lost her life when her veil became entangled in a machine, dragging her into it.
The incidents highlight the potential safety risks associated with mandatory hijab in workplaces and public spaces.
On Monday, UN rights chief Volker Turk urged Iran to permanently repeal its hijab laws and end along with all other laws and practices that discriminate against women and girls.
However, despite multiple fatalities in recent years, and repeated calls from rights groups and UN officials, Iranian authorities continue to enforce mandatory hijab laws on women and girls.
