Subject: Iranian women violently dragged from streets by police amid hijab crac |

A new campaign, called Noor (“light” in Persian), was
announced the same day the Iranian regime launched
drone attacks against Israel, to crack down on
“violations” of the country’s draconian hijab rules,
which dictate that all women must cover their heads in
public.
Hours later, videos verified by human rights groups
showing women and girls being forcefully arrested by
agents of the notorious Gasht-e-Irshad (“morality
police”) flooded social media along with stories of
beatings and assault.
One mother and daughter walking through a busy Tehran
square were surrounded by five chador-clad female
agents and two male agents, who hurled insults and
accusations before they grabbed the women. When they
resisted arrest, they were violently dragged into the
van, a source close to the family said.
Dina Ghalibaf, a student at Tehran’s Shahid Beheshti
University and was among the first to tweet about a
confrontation. On her now suspended X (formerly
Twitter) account, she said: “Yesterday in the police
room of Sadeghiyeh metro station, I insisted that I had
the right to use the metro as a citizen and a taxpayer.
But then, they violently dragged me into a room and
Tasered me. They handcuffed me and one of the officers
sexually assaulted me.”

Oppression is undeniably wrong and criminal.
Bopp's made his opinion crystal clear about about people who post problems
without solutions...
