Iran police: ‘improperly veiled’ women will be arrested

The head of Khorasan Razavi Public Security Police said, “With the Moral and Social Security Intensification Plan, all troublemakers in Mashhad were arrested and referred to Judicial sources”…

“The aim of police measures in this plan is seizing satellite equipment that is in public view and currently all public police patrols in the province are tasked with gathering equipment that is out in the open”, he said regarding the issue of gathering satellite equipment in another section of his interview.

“Starting from today, August 9, a Security Intelligence Commission on dealing with those who have satellite equipment will be formed and those who do not pay attention to police warnings to gather up their satellite equipment will be referred to judicial sources”, the head of the Khorasan Razavi Public Security Police said.

Regarding the issue of improper veiling he also said that “one of the main issues in the implementation of the Moral and Social Security Intensification Plan is dealing with those who are improperly veiled in the society but we announce here that the police will not give any more warning to people in this regard because the timeframe for warnings has ended and from now on those who are improperly veiled will be arrested and referred to judicial sources”.
