Iran to arrest women with suntan
By Xien Jana Vencio
Better hide those bronzed skin when visiting Tehran, Iran. At least if you are a woman.
On Thursday, Tehran police chief Brig. Gen. Hossien Sajedinia has warned that all women sporting a tan will be arrested and imprisoned because this violates the "spirit of Islamic law." Thus, any woman that looked like a "walking mannequin" will be punished.
He said that the Iranian public expects the police to act firmly and swiftly to any social misbehavior caused by women, and men, particularly those who defy the Islamic values. He cited some areas in northern Tehran where suntanned women and young girls look like walking mannequins.
"We are not going to tolerate this situation and will first warn those found in this manner and then arrest and imprison them," Sajedinia said.
The warning is the latest move by Iranian authorities that is showing a trend towards "radical" implementation of Islam. Recently, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad warned of an impending major earthquake.
Prior to Ahmadinejad's statement, senior Iranian cleric, Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi, claimed that revealing female clothing disturbed young men and also caused earthquakes.
"Many women who do not dress modestly ... lead young men astray, corrupt their chastity and spread adultery in society, which (consequently) increases earthquakes," Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi was quoted as saying by Iranian media.
But some analysts said that the new order for women to dress "immodestly" is part of a wider campaign by the government to quash the opposition movement.
According to Iranian law, women should dress according to Islamic values and requires them to wear headscarves and loose-fitting, figure-disguising cloaks. But many Iranian women have been liberally interpreting this rule due to lack of legal clarity and partly due to a growing desire for women to be in fashion.

they must be farming women
This just in: Charlie Crist cancels Iran travel plans.
Will Iran use the FBI (Female Body Inspectors) to enforce this?
That poster would be considered child porn in today’s world.
Its ok...calm down, Iran just got elected to the womens rights commision at the UN, so everything is ok...move along
well i’m not in agreement with this it really stinks but this is what they have come up with-& probably the ONLY thing they can come up with to keep girls and women at home.
on another note- an old persian saying about a young unmarried woman’s character-”na oftab dideh, na mahtab dideh”
“she hasn’t see sunshine-she hasn’t seen the light of the moon” (supposedly this is an attestment of character and purity)
Purity is very important over there
Why is it that the Left denigrates sincere Christians, but defends the likes of these people?
In recent years, stoning verdicts have increased in Iran.
There have been 26 reported cases of stoning to death, 17 of them women. The actual number is much higher.
According to a secret report obtained by an Iranian opposition group from within the regime, there have been 10 cases of stoning in the first six months of 2002. There have been at least three established cases of stoning and four stoning to death verdicts in 2002.
A woman and a man were stoned to death in September in the city of Naghadeh (northwest Iran) after 15 years of imprisonment.
Isn't that considered "profiling"???
“Why is it that the Left denigrates sincere Christians, but defends the likes of these people?”
Cowardice. They are afraid they will be called names, or worse. Christians, they won’t call you names.
Obama paved the way with his 15% Tanning Salon tax. The Iranians are going all the way and will put all the Tanning Salons completely out of business.
More proof that their evil twisted Muslim minds think alike.
