It's sad that those pretty girls are actually risking their safety and lives by daring to show their faces --- the mullahs want them to hide their faces in shame under those hideous rags. Only Arabs really have the mindset though that a woman's face is a thing of shame -- and even her own children must see her hide it as though it were sinful.

Iranian women do not have to hide or veil their faces.It's only their hair that must be covered.
Common penalty for not properly covering the hair or dressing improperly is lashing, though not always. Some may receive a big fine to pay.

How I long for, and PRAY for the day when the people living in this region of our world will be free...even to make their own mistakes, not those of their tyranical governments.

Well, the in Iran they just have to cover up their hair, which is a pity though...
