Iranian Resistance calls on international community to protest clerical regime's blatant insult to Iranian women
In blatantly threatening language, the commander of State Security
Forces in Tehran warned today that "models of corruption out in public
places will be dealt with." His remarks were reported by the Iranian
regime's news agency, ILNA.
Revolutionary Guards Commander Reza Zareie added, "Those women who may
not be prostitutes, but who do not observe the dress regulation, will
be dealt with severely."
Reacting to these statements by the top police commander in the Iranian
capital, Ms. Sarvnaz Chitsaz, Chair of the Women's Committee of the
National Council of Resistance of Iran, called on the international
community to protest against "this outrageous affront to Iranian women
by the mullahs' regime."
Addressing women's rights organizations and activists around the world,
Ms. Chitsaz said, "The despicable threats against women by the leaders
of agencies of repression under the ruling religious fascism in Iran
are an unpardonable insult to the rights and dignity of all Iranians.
The time has come for the international community to adopt a firm
policy against a misogynous regime that executes pregnant women, hangs
a 16-year-old girl in public, and kills a Canadian woman photographer
under torture."
