On March 3, 2024, a woman inside a clinic in Qom, Iran confronted a cleric after he took photos of her with the intention of reporting her to Iranian authorities for not wearing hijab. The CCT video of the confrontation drew wide criticism of clerics and the Iranian regime. Four people working in the clinic were jailed for posting the video.[1][2][3][4]
