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.
