Video: Iranian Mollah Strikes Girl for Misplacing Hijab

A mollah (Islamic cleric) has struck a girl for improperly tying her hijab, according to reports from Iranian media referenced by Ateo Breaking.

The video shows women comforting the girl, who is seen crying uncontrollably. Further details about the incident have not been disclosed.

It is worth recalling that 22-year-old Mahsa Amini was arrested in Iran's northwestern Kurdistan province for not wearing her hijab properly. She died while in custody. Following her death, protests erupted, and some cities experienced clashes, with law enforcement also using firearms.

The mollah is a local Islamic leader, who in the past has served not only as a spiritual guide but also taught in religious schools and performed notarial duties.
