NCRI – Brig. Gen. Hossein Zolfaqari, deputy chief of the State Security Forces (SSF) – mullahs' suppressive police – said that 26,000 people were stopped on the streets to receive warring citations for not fasting only in the first week of holy month of Ramadan.
"They ate in public during hours of fasting," Zolfazari said. In addition to that number, some 755 restaurants and 766 drivers were ticketed for breaking the fast.
"To that end, there have been 1,029 cases pending for judicial reviews. Some 208 restaurants were shutdown and 376 driver licenses were revoked," Zolfzqari added.
According to mullahs' laws, there is no room for breaking the fast under any circumstances. Whipping in public is a customary punishment for citizens breaking fast earlier than dusk. Many people go through a very difficult period during month of Ramadan.
Widespread arrests of youths not abiding by the suppressive rules are made by the SSF agents in Ramadan.
