"Police will clean up the parks from those women wearing immodestly. We will provide a family environment for Tehran' residents while dealing swiftly with those breaking the law," Radan added. It is in accordance with the "boosting public security plan" Radan said.

The so-called "boosting public security plan" was first introduced in April 2007 to combat popular uprisings. Mass street arrests of hundreds of thousands of women and youth under the pretext of "mal-veiling" and cracking down on "thugs and hooligans" followed. In the same period, more than 300 prisoners were sent to gallows.
