The New York-based International Campaign for Human Rights (ICHRI) said on Monday there were “serious concerns over more potential violence and detentions on July 12”.

The #No2Hijab campaign overlapped with months of protests by teachers, retirees, workers and government employees over unpaid wages, low pensions and sky-rocketing food prices that have hurt the establishment’s legitimacy with protesters calling for political change.
