<\/em><\/strong>The Women\u2019s Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran strongly condemns the Iranian regime\u2019s state security forces\u2019 attack on a woman in Tehran on Thursday, February 15, 2018, and arresting her for protesting against the compulsory veil.<\/p>\nThe NCRI Women\u2019s Committee urges all international organizations defending human rights and women\u2019s rights to take urgent action to secure the release of this and all women who have been arrested for non-veiling, improper veiling, opposing and protesting the compulsory veil.<\/p>\n
The Women\u2019s Committee urges the people of Iran, particularly women and youth, to actively defend Iran\u2019s honorable and brave women when they are attacked by Revolutionary Guards and security forces, and support the arrested women and their families.<\/p>\n
On February 1, 2018, the IRGC-backed Fars news agency, announced that 29 women had been arrested for not wearing the veil and handed over to the Judiciary \u201cin line with protecting social security.\u201d The regime\u2019s Judiciary officials have set heavy and unaffordable bail bonds for the release of many of those arrested, obstructing their freedom.<\/p>\n
Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the President-elect of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, urged the Council of Europe in Strasbourg, the European Union and its member states on January 24, 2018, to adopt effective measures to compel the theocratic regime of Iran to end suppression of women and abolish the compulsory veil. She said 39 years of suppression of women is enough. The international community must end its silence and inaction.<\/p>\n
