TERRIFIED IRANIAN WOMAN ARRESTED FOR IMPROPER DRESS

SHE HAD CLEARLY HEARD OF THE GANG RAPES AND BEATINGS WOMEN RECEIVE AS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THEIR ARRESTS FOR EVEN MINOR ISLAMIC DRESS CODE INFRACTIONS. PERHAPS ONLY A LOCK OF HAIR, YES ONE LOCK, SHOWING UNDER A HEAD SCARF.

VERY OFTEN THESE ARRESTS ARE SIMPLY AN EXCUSE TO TAKE SOME WOMAN INTO CUSTODY, INCLUDING FOR PERSONAL REASONS OF SOMEONE IN POWER.
