Iran: Stopping “mal-veiling” in the airports

NCRI – The State Security Forces (SSF) – mullahs' suppressive police— at the airports stopped 128 women passengers from boarding the planes.

In addition, it has given 171,000 oral warnings and took another 6,799 written commitments from the passengers before they began their journey for not violating the mullahs' dress codes again, the state-run news agency Entekhab reported on Saturday.

"Despite seasonal travel pikes, we have been able to enforce the law at the airports nationwide," Brig. Gen. Mahmoud Botshekan, the airports' SSF chief was quoted as saying to Entekhab.

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.
