Iranian Regime Cracks Down on ‘Indecently Dressed’ Mannequins in Shops
“The police official also warned online clothing retailers that display their products in an un-Islamic fashion.”
Not stopping at imprisoning and torturing women for refusing to wear Sharia-mandated hijab, the Iranian regime is now cracking down on ‘indecently dressed’ mannequins in shops, the Iranian state-controlled media reported. Iranian police are screening shop windows for any violation of the Sharia dress-code and shutting down retailers found in violation. They also “warned online clothing retailers that display their products in an un-Islamic fashion,” news reports say.
Iranian women are forced to follow the strict Islamic dress-code put in place by the regime once it grabbed power in 1979. Women taking off the hijab, the mandatory Islamic headscarf, in defiance of the Sharia Law, can face rape, torture, and long prison terms in Iran.
The Czech Republic-based Radio Free Europe reported the Iranian crackdown on ‘un-Islamic’ dress-code:
A Tehran Police official on Friday said indecently dressed mannequins that weaken “the culture of modesty and hijab” and “promote immorality” will be removed by the police from shop windows.
Colonel Nader Moradi, Deputy Commander of the Greater Tehran Police for Supervision of Commercial Venues, said the Police will implement its program to “regulate clothing retailers” in Tehran from Saturday. Implementation of the program will continue until the Iranian New Year holidays which start on March 21, the Iranian Students News Agency (ISNA) quoted him as saying.
Women’s clothing in Tehran’s many shops and shopping centers is often displayed on headless dummies with bare legs, arms and even shoulders. Women cannot appear in public wearing the same attire.
The Police Colonel said the rules and regulations have already been explained to clothing retailers and to implement the program officers in charge of supervision of public venues will continuously visit retail shops, remove the mannequins and shut down the shops that have infringed.
In August 2019, The regime sentenced a women rights activist for 24 years, including 15 for “spreading prostitution by taking off her hijab.” 20-year-old Saba Kord Afshari had refused to wear the hijab in public. In an attempt to intimidate other Iranian women from taking Afshari’s example, the regime made a video of her confessing to the “crime.” Vida Movahed, who became the iconic symbol of the 2017 anti-hijab protests for climbing up on a utility box and waving her hijab on a stick, was handed down a one-year prison sentence for her defiance.
In the name of enforcing Islamic law and silencing women opposing the regime, Tehran systemically deploys rape and torture. According to women imprisoned in Iranian jails, the prison guards hand out condoms to criminals to rape female inmates opposed to the regime. “In various cells inside the prison, rape has become a common act and acceptable,” a jailed anti-regime critic, Mehdi Mahmoudian, revealed in her letters smuggled out of prison in 2009. “Criminals are repeatedly seen with condoms in hand, hunting for their victims,” a relative of a female inmate disclosed. Similar allegations of rape and torture of women inmates also surfaced in the wake of the November 2019 anti-regime protests, the U.S. State Department confirmed.
Despite the brutal repression by the regime, brave Iranian men and women rose up again in November 2019. The security forces led by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), regime’s dreaded military arm, murdered over a thousand people and arrested thousands more, many of them women, for taking part in the latest wave of anti-regime protests.
Needless to say, Western feminists, busy fighting traces of patriarchy and “toxic masculinity” on college campuses and in their work place, couldn’t be bothered to stand in solidarity with their courageous Iranian sisters defying the regime’s Sharia diktats.

So is LI going to run soft porn ads to show solidarity with the people of Iran? Something like the Superbowl halftime show?
To some freedom means attacking those who don’t want feces or needles on their streets. Or the equivalent viewable in public.
Come to think of it, I have looked into my wife’s closet and have seen indecently dressed hangers too.
Will this cycle of indecency never end!
Lady Pitts even brings them out and displays her hangers in the laundry room with nothing on!
The harlot. It’s one of the reasons I love her.
Jack was one of my all-time favorite actors
May the Ayatollah and his instruments get what the Ceausescus got.
And soon.
Send a Tomahawk up that Ayatollah bastard’s ass.
The Democrats favorite dictator. A theocracy built on a cult.
More real news for CNN to bury.
May every Iranian Mullah have a close encounter with a Hellfire. I submit that their hat would make for easy targeting, though there is merrit to having the Hellfire work its way up their backend before detonation.
We should treat Iran’s Mullahs the same way we are treating Coronavirus 2019, the goal being total eradication.
Those mannequins just might wind up in the mullah’s torture chambers.
Next thing you know, we’ll be reading about the mannequins’ confessions that they’re agents for Israel and the United States.
I bet those mullahs have indecent inflatable dolls.
If they can not beat trump, they can still beat their wives, sisters. any woman they catch alone on the street..
Gotta be careful with those mannequins. Next thing you know they’ll demand the right to vote.
The only solution is 20 lashes for those indecent mannequins! Do it publicly to set a standard for all of the other mannequins!
I have asked that question over and over, where are our feminist?
Shaking in their collective boots, too afraid to help their sisters in the ME.
Nothing funny about what these women are going through in Iran, prison, multiple rapes and other torture for refusal to wear head coverings…
Oh, it’s easy to tell about women’s rights in the US or GB, but when a piece of clothing can get you murdered, they not only cower, they put it on their heads in show of “respect”?
I detest them..
And when I see these muslim girls in the US wearing the hijab, I can only shake my head…
I understand honor killings, I get that they may indeed have to go in hiding, because a Muslim parent would rather kill their own daughter then have them show their hair.
It’s so insane you can’t even put it into words .
Somebody is offended that we’re laughing at the ayatollah.
Tell me about it. When I saw both our comments above got a downvote, I was wondering why the downvote with no explanation.
All we were doing was poking fun at the absurdly officious nature of an Ayattoyah claiming inanimate objects designed to handle clothes could be responsible for acting indecently when we look at them — as if they were doing a striptease or something.
No your indirectly and a case can be made your directly laughing at these poor women
Well, now we’re laughing at you instead, concern troll.
Um, just a quick point of order, gonzotx is a long-time LI commenter and definitely NOT a concern troll.
Hard to believe these rotten and cowardly mullahs are still in power. What kind of religious leader would sanction a war fought by murdering innocents through random bombings etc.?.
Thank you fuzzy!
Amazing how quick someone calls someone else a “troll” for having a different perspective.
Ridiculous actually!
Don’t ascribe opinions to me without evidence, and we should get along better.
Vive la France!
Vive la liberté!
Meanwhile the goats are still running around naked…
This reminds me of those jokes about the Secret Service wrestling an angry mule to the ground
