Concert in southern Iran forced to cancel to implement gender segregation

State-run reactionary groups disrupted a concert in the southern Iranian city of Mahdasht under the pretext of being a “mixed” event. State-run ‘Parsine’ website covered a speech delivered by the city’s Friday prayer leader stressing, “These concerts have no limits. Soon, they won’t be satisfied with this either and they will be saying women must come to sing for us too.”
