Police Warn 122,000 Iranians Over Un-Islamic Dress
[Reuters/Washington Post] Iranian police have warned 122,000 people, mostly women, about flouting strict Islamic dress codes since April and nearly 7,000 of those attended "guidance classes," the daily Jomhuri-ye Islami reported Thursday. The dress codes require a woman's hair to be covered and the shape of her body to be disguised by a loose coat. A Tehran police commander, Reza Zaraei, said 482 people were arrested for taking part in mixed parties. Men and women are not allowed to mix in Iran unless they are family members.
