Iran summoned the editor-in-chief of the official news agency IRNA for explanations over the publication of images of a woman without hijab. Wearing the headscarf in public has been mandatory for women since shortly after the Islamic revolution in 1979. The Iranian judiciary's Mizan Online website said IRNA's editor-in-chief was summoned to the culture and media prosecutor's office to provide explanations after the publication of images showing a woman without observing the Islamic laws and regulations of the country.
