Iran: No taxi service for women with “inappropriate” outfits

Active ImageNCRI- Head of the mullahs' Chastity Headquarters in the central city of Isfahan announced on Sunday that starting June 4, no taxi is allowed to offer service to women deemed wearing "inappropriately."

"Our plan to stop women from riding bicycles has been successful. However, we have a lot more to do," added he.

The repressive arm of the mullahs has fallen especially hard on Iranian women who are enjoined from wearing "inappropriate" makeup and clothes that show any part of the hair or the legs. Bright colors are out too.

The State Security Forces' (SSF) — mullahs' suppressive police — list of social no-nos warns women against "wearing boots with short pants," which sounds like more of a fashion faux pas than an invitation to vice. Neither sex is to wear the T-shirts of "deviant groups," that is, Western rock groups and rappers.
