"TEHRAN (AFP) - Iran's judiciary is to launch a fresh clampdown on women it deems are inappropriately dressed and "spreading prostitution," the state news agency IRNA reported on Saturday.

"The ones who spread prostitution and intentionally seek to disturb social and moral security by inappropriate clothing and behaviour will be firmly confronted," Tehran's hardline prosecutor Saeed Mortazavi said."

""It has been noticed that some people with an outrageous appearance in public hurt religious feelings and beliefs," he said, adding the crackdown would start on March 6 and continue for a month. "

...the crackdown would start on March 6 and continue for a month.
Talk about telegraphing your blow! They'll never catch anybody that way.

Maybe they can help me with my daughter... (/sarc).

I don't have a daughter, actually.

[Rennes Templar]

I hope they organize a million woman anti-burka march.

The ones who seek to disturb social and moral security by inappropriate clothing

Yeah ... these evil women are giving Islam a bad name. Go get 'em Mullah!

[Candor7]

Saeed Mortazavi, all your women ARE BELONG TO US!!

Are those tramps showing ankle again???

Crackdowns are common in summer when many women defy the Islamic dress code by wearing short bright coats, flimsy headscarves and capri pants.
I just can't envision those items being wrong to wear.
Once again...it is Muslim men who are unable to control their base nature/lusts and Muslim women suffer for it.

Recipe for Islam:

1 part pathological fear of women.
2 part sexual repression
2 parts medieval atavism
3 parts cultural acceptance of violence

"bright colors" how on earth is that ani-Islamic? Geeze that is pretty warped!

[Wormwood]

Any society that could both produce and celebrate such a fine specimen of womanhood is inherently superior to all others.

"They'll never catch anybody that way"

Yes, they will. Believe it or not, few young people pay any attention to these pronouncements by the regime.
They do this every spring/summer and the women continue to push the limits.

Just wait till the Iranians see the Academy Awards tonight, they are going to be spinning in their beards!

[nuconvert]

The Iranian regime is Khomeinist - they have their own rules invented by Khomeini

Holy Cow! She'll fall over! A little out of proportion in my opinion, though I'm sure guys won't mind!

[The Great RJ]

Where are the women's rights groups and Hollywood stars to protest this mistreatment of women?
