Iran: so-called Islamic clothing store raided in Tehran


At 11 pm on Sunday night, January 31st around 10 unknown men with covered faces attacked an Islamic clothing store located in Tehran’s Olympic Square in the western part of the city. These individuals reached the site with their motorcycles and used wooden clubs to open the store door, break all the windows and glasses and destroy all the closed circuit cameras. According to locals these individuals shouted vulgar language against the regime’s Bassij, Hezbollah, the entire Islamic republic establishment and Khamenei himself.


It is worth noting that the Islamic Republic of Iran is known for its intense crackdown against women using different methods, all under the pretext of hijab and Islamic clothing for women. This regime tortures, harasses and arbitrarily arrests women, and the Iranian people deeply abhor such measures.

30 minutes after these individuals left the site the police reached the scene and began patrolling the area with men on motorcycles. Various store owners have said this is not the first time they are informed of reports of attacks against stores across Tehran. None of the attackers have been identified and they were all able to flee the scene.
