Iran: acceptable women’s unveiling




 Suppressive forces attack protesting Iranian women

Khamenei’s representative:
 "Graft and theft are more acceptable than women’s unveiling"

Mullahs in Iran are experts in graft and financial fraud as the news about theft and extortion by Iranian officials come out once every few days. Alamolhoda, Khamenei’s representative in the north eastern province of Khorassan wrote in his Instagram, on Friday April 8th, that extortion and plunder of people’s wealth is much better than unveiling.

“Anybody who steals from people or makes unlawful speeches that sin refers only to himself, but a woman showing her   hair forces others to commit sin”. Wrote Alamolhoda.

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.
