Several employees at subsidiaries of Bank Pasargad, one of Iran's largest private banks, have been fired or barred from their workplaces. People familiar with the matter told Iran International that the moves come amid tighter enforcement of the country's mandatory hijab laws. The report did not give the number of affected staff or name the subsidiaries involved, and it could not be independently confirmed by other outlets. The case reflects continued enforcement of dress rules in Iran's workplaces.
