Iran: Police crackdown on boutiques

NCRI – In a move to impose more restrictions on Iranian youths’ outwear, Brig. Gen. Reza Zarei the Chief of the State Security Forces (SSF) in Tehran province announced new measures to ban deliberately torn and cut blue jeans as well as worn-out outfits.  

"Unfortunately, there is bad news reaching SSF switchboard about selling of such outwears to public," said Zarei in a press conference on Wednesday.

"SSF agents are strictly ordered to stop sell of such items throughout the greater metropolitan Tehran," added Zarei.

"The police have already confiscated 92,000 pieces of such outfits since it was first detected in boutiques," he said.

Since last April and the start of a plan called "boosting public security" hundreds of thousands of citizens have been the subject of street arrests, jail terms and other forms of public insults in Iran.
