Iran's judiciary has opened a new case against two jailed female journalists for appearing without a hijab upon their temporary release from prison, the judiciary's Mizan news agency reported on Monday.
"After footage of the defendants without hijab was released online, a new case has been filed against them," Mizan said, referring to a video widely shared on social media showing the two women celebrating their release with family outdoors.
The death of Amini after she was held by the morality police for allegedly violating Iran's strict dress code triggered months of nationwide anti-government protests, in one of the boldest challenges to the country's clerical leaders in decades.
