Iran: Mullahs station forces in parks to further crackdown on women

National Council of Resistance of IranNCRI – Head of the moral security police of the State Security Forces of the Iranian regime, Brig. Gen. Ahmad Roozbehani, announced on Monday "more security forces will be deployed in parks." He added that 65 to 70 thousands would be used in the new plan against women.

"In big public parks police force will be stationed permanently and in smaller ones security patrols will be active," Roozbehani told state-run media reporters.

On Sunday the prosecutor general of northern province of Golestan stressed on "harsh measures against improper veiled women in streets and public places" and said "a judge in the presence disciplinary forces will file judicial cases and issue sentences against violators," semi-official Fars news agency reported.

The mullahs' regime faced with growing internal and external crisis is more than ever turning to suppression of Iranian people specially the young and women.

On Sunday, in Tehran's notorious Evin Prison ten illegally detained women activists went on hunger strike.  A 70-year-old mother and a 17 years old girl who have been in prison for the past three weeks without any justification are among them.

Women's Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran calls on international bodies and organizations in defense human rights and women's rights to condemn the mullahs' suppressive measures against the Iranian women and take necessary actions for the release of prisoners in Iran.
