Last year, commander of the greater Tehran police, Brig. Gen. Ahmad Reza Radan called for more suppression of the youth and said, "From July 23, we will stop teenage boys whose hair style is not in accordance with the ethical codes… If we do not act now, they set examples for the society which we will not be able to change them… It is our responsibility to enhance the public security and discipline to prevent such improper patterns."
"From Mordad (the Iranian month starting on July 23), if the police notice such behavior, the individual will be arrested and taken to a police station…Later in the interrogation of the aforesaid individual, he has to give the address of the barber shop where he had done his hair. The State Security Forces (SSF) will go to the shop and seal it…Hitherto, 70,000 shops have been investigated and more than 2,000 have been sealed," he added.
