Iran has charged two prominent actresses for publishing pictures of themselves flouting the country's dress code for women, just weeks after announcing a crackdown on breaches, local media reported. ManilaBulletin
Police in Tehran have referred the case against Katayoun Riahi and Pantea Bahram to Iran's judiciary, accusing them of "the crime of removing the hijab in public and posting photos on the internet", the Tasnim news agency said late Monday.Earlier this month police said they would begin using "smart" technology in public places to crack down on women defying Iran's compulsory dress code.
The requirement for women to wear the headscarf in public was imposed shortly after the Islamic revolution of 1979. On April 16, authorities said they had closed 150 commercial establishments whose employees were not complying with the dress code.
