Iran: Tehran moral patrol, police attacking women under “mal-veiling” pretext



Moral patrols and police in Tehran’s Vanak Square conducted a huge raid to arrest women under the pretext of improper clothing and veils. This new campaign was launched on Sunday, April 3.
“Repressive forces in Vanak Square raided restaurants and public facilities in this area, arresting any man or woman under the pretext of ‘public virtue’ and improper veiling. Those arrested were transferred to unknown locations with vans already parked in the area,” said one restaurant employee.

A heavy security climate was cemented in Vanak Square and its adjacent streets until noon on Monday.
