Iran: Women’s veiling pointed out again as a security issue

An SSF Commander once again called for escalation of repressive measures against women under the pretext of controlling the observance of veil.

Hossein Dahaki said, “The time has come to implement practical solutions in the society. We must deal with the manufacturers and designers of women’s clothes.”

He explicitly rejected women’s freedom in choosing their clothing as “cultural promiscuity” and said it is necessary to deal with such abnormal behavior to maintain order and security.
