NCRI, May 20, Tehran – A number of clashes have been reported in Tehran between regimes’ special police forces and young women following enactment of the new chastity plan by the Majlis (mullahs’ parliament) and the campaign against women’s mal-veiling, reported the Iranian Women Society in Tehran.
The Society released a photo of a young women who had been badly injured by the regime’s security forces.
In one incident, in ‘7-tir Square’ on Sunday, May 20, the security forces tried to arrest some women when they met resistance from the women and the bystanders, eyewitnesses reported. The report indicates that some men at the scene tried to help the women escape the scene by engaging the security forces.
A shop owner at the scene said: “The [regime] agents stopped three women between the ages of 25 to 30 for their nonconformity to the veiling measures. But their language was too rough making the women to react.”
“When one of the agents was trying to pull one of the girls into a police vehicle, she resisted. Then one other agent kicked the girl in her knee. That sparked furious reaction from the crowed watching the situation,” continued the shop owner.
The three women were finally pulled out of the guards’ hands by the people and driven off from the scene by a passing car.
In another incident, regime’s agents arrested a girl for mal-veiling.
“She was pulled into the police car by the security agents and was taken away,” Says a taxi driver, stating, “Her cries for help angered the bystanders.”
Another eyewitness reports that in an argument between the people and the police, a mother and her daughter were beaten and their faces were covered with blood. They took their headscarf off in protest. It is said that they were using their mobiles to film agents attacking a women.
