Abstract

The goal of any society is the protection of individual rights and freedoms and ultimately the preservation of the psyche of individuals. Therefore, any assault on the psyche of people is abnormal and requires a social response. Among these anomalies, which result in restriction or deprivation of individual rights and freedoms, is harassment and persecution. Stalking can be considered a crime against persons (against mental freedom). Although there is no criminalization in Iranian legislation, the importance of criminalization has increased over time. Currently, Article 619 of the Islamic Penal Code is the most similar article as the one mentioned above, which is one of the most complex articles of the Islamic Penal Code and has caused wide interpretations. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a comprehensive analysis of it. Therefore, with proper pathology and proper legislation that has an executive guarantee, this social damage can be controlled and limited to a large extent.
