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.
This is very good, since it will help speedup the revolt. Iranian wife/girlfriend to husband/boyfriend: "Now get out there and kill those mullahs!"
Having bleached hair should get her head off.
Don't care that there is a distinct difference between Arabs and Iranians.
Both have declared war on Americans, America and our interests.
That is the truth plain and simple.
We had better stiffen up or risk losing this war.
That, my friend, deserves its own thread....(G)
Ah, Islam. Such LOVELY people, aren't they? Just can't flog 'em fast enough.............
I just wonder how much longer the populace of Iran are going to put up with this despicable s**t.
Why are these guys so afraid of their women?
From 60 LPM to 100 LPM.
LPM = Lashes Per Minute
"And exactly what will Iranian men do when their women are seized and flogged?"
No sex for a month!
Notice to women Muslims:
Floggings will be speeded up and expanded until 7th century religious rituals are met with smiling compliance and morale improves.
