After they have been identified, violators will receive “warning text messages as to the consequences”, the police said in a statement. The move is aimed at “preventing resistance against the hijab law,” the statement said, carried by the judiciary’s Mizan news agency and other state media, adding that such resistance tarnishes the country’s spiritual image and spreads insecurity.
