Compulsory-hijab enforcement and youth resistance to religious restrictions
Reports describe employees dismissed or denied entry over alleged hijab violations, pressure on companies to enforce dress rules, and restrictions on public expression. Accounts of Halloween dispersals and uncovered-hair footage describe youth resistance; reports also allege political displays, religious exercises, surveillance, and military activity at schools, while the Education Ministry reportedly denied a claim about student identification tags. Details remain attributed and not independently verified.
