Incoming news from Rooydad from all over Tehran, are reporting widespread clashes between young girls and women and the regime's militia. In recent days, patrol groups belonging to the militia have been stationed in Tehran's main squares, such as Vanak which is a gathering place for young boys and girls, where they are arresting girls wearing short pants. Rooydad News, reporting on Thursday July 15th wrote that the arrested girls are kept for 24 hours after their files are completed without any contact with their families. Before this, some web sties were reporting from Mashhad that girls wearing short pants were being flogged. There are also widespread reports of the militia visiting clothing stores and ordering them to remove Manteaus and pants, 'Chador' alternatives, from their displays. At certain malls, girls who are poorly veiled are not allowed in. It is obvious that the hardliner clampdown as a result of the 7th Parliament and the Ansar e Hezbollah takeover is fully in progress. Last week, Yalsarat Al Hussein, the official news of Hezbollah reported on orders issued by Hezbollah to Commander Bagher Ghalibaf, including stopping wedding cars, closing shops selling the manteau 'chador' alternative, confiscation of drivers licenses of poorly veiled women, and not issuing passports for any woman with a poor veiling history. So far the closure of shops selling manteaus, 'chador' alternatives, phase has started.

Bump...if you want to see how this could end up, check out an Afghani film titled "Osama"...a girl's life under the Taliban.

Not a good way to win friends and influence people.

Methinks the mad mullahs are getting desperate.

In the rhythm of the war protesters during Viet Nam:

Phoolan Devi was a misguided, very warped individual.

If there were a couple more woman like her in Tehran, who harnessed their hatred for a good purpose, perhaps the mullahs wouldn't be so eager to abuse innocent, peaceful dissenters, who also happen to be women.

I hope these girls don't come back sexually assaulted. I don't trust the fanatics.
