Iranian police detained two women who danced in the published video at the Tehran Cemetery without compliance with strict dress rules. On Friday they wrote about the media there, informs TASR. “Two people recently in the cemetery of the martyrs in Tehran, not respecting the sacred place, recorded a video clip with inappropriate clothes and movements that were out of customs and Sharia,” It is stated in the police statement.
According to her, this step has caused strong protests to the public, especially from the deceased’s families. According to the rules introduced after the Islamic Revolution in 1979 Women have to cover their hair and neck in public and wear loose clothes. They must not dance in public places, It is reminiscent of AFP.
However, many women cease to respect these rules, Especially in Tehran and other large cities. This trend is more apparent, especially since the outbreak of protests after the death of Iran’s Kurdka Mahsy Amíni in September 2022.
The young woman died in a police custody in Tehran when the moral police detained her for the allegedly incorrectly deployed hijab (headgear) and died in custody. Subsequent protests resulted in challenges to overthrow the Iranian theocratic regime and several months of unrest. Hundreds of people, including dozens of police officers, died in demonstrations. Thousands of people were arrested.
