Police in Tehran Ordered to Arrest Women in "Un-Islamic" Dress
(Guardian-UK) Robert Tait - Police in Tehran have been ordered to arrest women failing to conform to the regime's stringent dress code. Offenders could be punished with £30 fines or two months in jail. Officers will also be authorized to confront men with outlandish hairstyles and people walking pet dogs, an activity long denounced as un-Islamic by the religious rulers. A bill before Iran's parliament proposes that fines for people with TV satellite dishes rise from £60 to more than £3,000. Millions of Iranians have illegal dishes, enabling them to watch Western films and news channels.
