[87919] Iran launches online reporting system to combat illegal abortions and distribution of abortion drugs

The fight against illegal abortions in Iran: The government launches a reporting system for citizens

Authorities in Iran are taking another step to increase enforcement against illegal abortions in the country. According to a report by the آخرین خبر Telegram channel, which is affiliated with the establishment and conservative line in the country, the Prosecutor General's Office of Iran announced the launch of a new online reporting system intended for the general public.

The system allows citizens to report online any case of "performing illegal abortions" or "supplying illegal drugs for abortions." The goal of the initiative, as emerges from the report by آخرین خبر, is to enlist the public to assist law enforcement in locating centers and parties engaged in this activity, which is prohibited by law.

The report, which was also published on the health channel سلامת فوری 🍏, highlights the strict stance of Iranian law enforcement authorities toward the issue of abortions, using digital tools to expand social and legal supervision over this field. So far, no data has been published on the extent of the system's usage or the legal measures that will be taken against those reported.
