Tehran: Amusement centre closed after photo of staff without hijab goes viral

Tehran: The situation in Iran does not seem to have changed. Women continue to become victim of morality police if they fail to adhere to Islamic dress code. Also, a statement by Attorney General Mohammad Jafar Montazeri over the weekend saying that Gasht-e Ershad (or morality police) has been disbanded appears to be mere words.

“Morality police hasn’t been abolished. It was an absolute lie,” Iranian activist Masih Alinejad said. She also shared an image of a young woman working at an amusement centre in Tehran without covering her head with hijab and said that a case has been registered against her.

“This is the real news in Iran; Amusement centre in Tehran was closed yesterday (Sunday) after this photo of its employee without hijab went viral on social media. Tehran’s prosecution has opened a case against her,” Alinejad tweeted.
