Iran Speeds Punishment of Dress-Code Violators |

Iran Focus
Tehran, Iran, Sep. 06 – Women who violate Iran’s strict Islamic dress
code will be flogged immediately, prosecutor’s offices in provincial
centres announced on Tuesday.
In the central Iranian city of Shahin-Shahr, the prosecutor’s office
posted huge notices on billboards and shop windows warning women that
dress code violators will appear before an Islamic judge immediately
after arrest to receive a sentence, usually 100 lashes in public. The
prosecutor will be demanding maximum penalties, the notice warned.
“Individuals whose state of attire and make-up is against religious laws
in public will be prosecuted without having to first wait in a queue and
will be sentenced to flogging and fines”, the statement said.
“Scarves which do not cover the hair and neck”, “tight overcoats or
coats that which finish above the knees and whose sleeves cover to a
point higher than the wrist”, “tight trousers which do not cover the
calf of the leg”, and “women’s make-up” are all forbidden, according to
the statement, which added that failure to adhere to the dress code
would be dealt with accordingly.
Women whose scarves do not properly cover up their hair will face
between 10 days to 10 months in prison, the statement added.

The greater the number of complaints being aired,
the better protected are human rights in that country."

code will be flogged immediately, prosecutor's offices in provincial

The reason they feel they have to do this is because the revolution is
already under way. Iranians won't put up with that crap much longer.

Man, let's hope you're right! They just put the most obnoxious ***** they can
find in charge of the government. With the Iraqis across the border enjoying
the promise of Democracy let's hope that the spirit is infectious!

Basra as well:
http://newsblaze.com/story/20051017235224nnnn.nb/newsblaze/OPINIONS/Opinions.html
"Sharia law has been imposed by the Shia militias and they have killed
three female students, of Basra University, who failed to dress in
Islamic clothing, the black abaya and hijab. Professor Adel
al-Thamary, one of the few who was willing to speak publicly, and
allow his name to be used admittted, that under Saddam things were
actually better. Today people can be killed in broad daylight at any
time.
Because of the new explosive used by insurgents and provided by Iran's
Revolutionary Guards, effective against armor, British units, whenever
possible, travel by helicopter. Their commanders in the area hope the
institution of a stable government enables them to leave Iraq but
according to a couple of knowledgeable observers, that is a false
hope. "

I guess success is just around the corner.

The Shi'ite militias are not acting on behalf of the government. The
British are at least partly responsible for this because of their "hands
off" attitude after the initial liberation of the south. They traded
early "peace" for later oppression.

I guess you're determined to find reasons to denigrate the progress
demonstrated by the new constitution.
