New Plan Enforced to Step up Suppression of Women for Improper Veiling A new plan is going to be enforced across Iran this week to further step up suppression of women for improper veiling. The acting commander of Police, Ayyoub Soleimani, said the new plan, called Nazer 2 (or Observer 2), is going to be implemented. The new plan is designed to put maximum pressure on women. According to the new plan, Police will be present in public places, major stores, and beaches to give warnings to women who are considered improperly veiled based on the regime\u2019s standards. Soleimani said, \u201cThe plan is going to be implemented this week (beginning on Saturday), and in every place which is more public, our presence and monitoring will be more serious.\u201d The Iranian Regime\u2019s Police had already implemented the Nazer 1 plan to monitor women who remove their veils inside their cars. Iran Regime Collectively Executes 8 People in Gohardasht Prison Eight people were collectively executed in Iran&#039;s notorious Gohardasht Prison in Karaj on August 29. They were transferred to solitary confinement on August 26 to be prepared for execution. On Wednesday morning, Iranian authorities executed a man who had killed the regime\u2019s notorious Friday Prayers Leader in Kazerun. Also, authorities in Babol, northern Iran, hanged a man in public during the early morning hours of Monday, the state media reported. On the same day, the regime executed a woman in Mashhad prison. Rights Group Publishes New Report on Enforced Disappearances in Iran To mark the International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances on 30 August, the human rights group Iran Human Rights Monitor has published a new report, titled: &quot;Enforced Disappearances in Iran and the 1988 Massacre&quot;. The report says the Iranian regime has a history of cracking down on its opponents. Incommunicado detentions, arbitrary abductions, summary executions, torture and enforced disappearances are among practices commonly used against opponents. Dissident intellectuals and students, ethnic groups and religious minorities, and members and supporters of the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran have always been targeted. The group urged the United Nations to take all necessary measures to end impunity for Iranian officials. It said the time has come for referring the dossier of human rights violations in Iran, particularly the enforced disappearances and executions of the 1980s and the 1988 massacre of political prisoners, to the UN Security Council.
