At least the men now know to some extent what women have to go through with regard to dress codes.
The Daily Mail
Men are arrested for wearing SHORTS in new crackdown by Iran’s feared morality police.
It also states that anyone found ‘naked, semi-naked, or wearing clothing deemed improper in public’ will be arrested.
Those who breach the laws will be banned from leaving Iran and using social media for a period of six months to two years.
Zealous police officers however appear to be enforcing the rules before they have been formally passed.
In one example, Meysam, a 35-year-old software engineer from Tehran, said he was brutally hauled in by morality police while wearing shorts on a hot day, he told The Telegraph.
As he went for a walk, a white van pulled up and three men jumped out, shouting and asking him what he thought he was doing.
‘They grabbed me by the neck and forced me into the back of the van. They said they were taking me to the social security police.’
Others were inside the van, including a man and three girls, all crying, who had also been apprehended over their clothes.
‘We never imagined they would be so harsh with us simply for wearing shorts.’
He was taken to a police station and made to promise never to wear shorts again, with no further action.
The women however were told that a case would be filed against them and sent to the prosecutor’s office.
