Woman Goes Wild, Removes Hijab, Starts Dancing in the Holy City of Mashhad
Independent Aggregator of Iran-related News/Events, Kodoom.com: Traffic jams were reported in Iran's holy city of Mashhad as a 39 year old woman suddenly removed her Hijab (Islamic head cover) and started dancing in public, both illegal activities according to Iran's strict Islamic laws, particularly observed in the holy city of Mashhad.
The incident happened late night in Martyr Fahmideh square on Fajr Highway. The woman resisted arrest by Police. The judiciary warned anyone who filmed the incident not to publish it.
Dancing is banned in Iran. A controversial movie "I Want To (Dance)" featuring Reza Kianian, Mahnaz Afshar and Mohamadreza Golzar was released outside the country after a 4 year ban inside Iran.
Despite the economic crisis paralyzing the country, Iran's conservative Ayatollahs continue their iron-fist policy to control women's appearance and cover. Even Iran's regional allies and neighbors such as Pakistan, Turkey, Afghanistan, Lebanon and Syria have more relaxed policies when it comes to Hijab (head and body cover in public).
Recently, a female gynecologist was sentenced to one year of free labor for protesting mandatory Hijab (news link). Because the female doctor had removed Hijab (head cover) to protest the pressure by police, she was sentenced by an Islamic court in Alborz not to prison but to 1000 hours of free visitation of patients and performing 14 free surgeries, basically depriving her of about a year of income!
