“So many women flout the rules that…existing manpower is not enough to enforce hijab.”
Iranian police are running short on enforcers to compel women to wear Islamic headscarves, or hijabs, in public. Iran’s deputy chief of law enforcement asked the regime for more manpower to implement the sharia-mandated hijab rules, media reports said.
Iranian Islamic ‘morality’ police patrols streets to enforce hijab which was first made compulsory when the Islamic fanatics grabbed power over forty years ago. Apart from the sharia ‘morality’ police, militia belonging to Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), a U.S.-designated terrorist group, were helping the law enforcement to force women into compliance.
Women who defy Iran’s hijab rules are threatened with rape, torture, and long prison sentences. Last August, Tehran’s Islamic court sentenced a 20-year-old women right’s activist for 24 years, including 15 for “spreading prostitution by taking off her hijab.” Even men who dare to speak out against the law can end up in jail.
The Czech Republic based Radio Farda reported the Iranian Sharia police’s latest demand:
The deputy commander of the Islamic Republic’s law enforcement has complained that his forces are “really left single-handed” in policing “moral security” of the Iranian society.
Meanwhile, Isfahan’s governor has announced that he intends to award a residential unit to officers and volunteers in charge of “promotion of virtue and prevention of vice.” (…)
The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC)-run Tasnim news agency cited the Deputy Commander of Iranian police Brigadier General Qassem Rezaei as saying on Thursday, July 30, the law enforcement forces have been left alone in maintaining moral security of the society.
This claim can be disputed, since many so-called volunteers stop women in the streets and shame them to cover themselves more fully. The state has allowed “pious” Muslims to enforce its dress code. On the other hand, so many women flout the rules that perhaps the existing manpower is not enough to enforce hijab rules.
In a meeting with the representative of the Islamic Republic’s Supreme Leader, General Rezaei lambasted other state bodies for not cooperating with the police on that matter, adding, “Nobody is helping the police, save volunteers and the members of Baseej,” (Basij – the IRGC’s militia).
The call for more moral policing comes amid growing push-back on Iranian streets against regime enforcers targeting women failing to comply with Islamic dress code. Courageous passersby have stood up to the Islamic ‘vice police’ harnessing women on the streets.
While the Islamic regime is busy subjugating women and tightening sharia law, country’s oil workers have gone on strike protesting falling wages and rising prices. With state-controlled economy crumbling under pressure from U.S. sanctions. Iran’s currency is at its lowest value ever against the U.S. dollar.
The failing regime has pinned all its hopes on a trade and military pact with Communist China. Beijing promises a $400 billion investment in Iranian economy aimed at securing oil-rich nation’s resources. China will also be sending 5000 security personnel to secure its investments and gain access to Iranian air and naval bases, news reports said.

Iran is reaping what has been sown. The people want freedom but the rediculous government is fighting a losing battle while allowing Chinese Military access to its bases and 5000 soldiers to protect China’s 400,000,000 investment in rights to oil fields. The US sanctions are having a serious detrimental effect on most products and the workers are striking for low wages and higher costs to live.
Westman says
It seems Iran’s rulers already have plans to use the China’s money for more suppression of women.
China and Iran governments have that same behavior, supression, in common. It should be amusing to watch these new wedding partners wake up to a bad choice, after the honeymoon, and contemplate divorce. Iran’s acceptance of Chinese Minders to accompanying the money and the BRI projects already speaks of China’s expectations.
Does anyone think the female Chinese “minders” will be wearing hijabs?
May the BRI initiative bring Iran’s overlords all the “rewards” they so justly deserve.
Mike says
Iran had the freedom they allow the out of control idiots to take over
this is the results
CogitoErgoSum says
De-fund the Iranian police and the Iranian “Karens” will take their place. I wonder if both men and women are also shamed for not wearing a mask to stop the spread of covid-19? I would like see an Iranian woman berating an Iranian man for not wearing his mask. Are there any videos of that?
J Morgan says
Haha, well put.
J Morgan says
The feminists are busy virtue signaling to their hijabi sisters like Sarsour and Omar. They wear blind-folds, but is not that of Lady Justice. I have often wondered where the feminists are with the issues real women face, like the hijab and the mass rape phenomenon among others. It seems they are just busy tearing down the same “patriarchal” society that gives them all their freedoms.
gravenimage says
I believe in equal rights for women, and I condemn this barbarism.
J Morgan says
I do too, gravenimage.
That mother and daughter were very brave to speak out, but look what a terrible sentence handed to the daughter. The Iranian activist who lives in the USA is brave too. I appreciate that she called out the politicians and actresses who visit Muslim countries and wear the scarves and what hypocrites they are. Forget Gloria Steinem or other famous feminists for standing with these truly oppressed women. Let alone the blue haired hordes.
gravenimage says
Sadly agree, J Morgan.
Elaine says
Gloria Steinem never fought for women’s rights. She only spoke out to benefit herself and to get rich on her books. After that this was all accomplished , rarely heard about her again.
GreekEmpress says
“The Handmaid’s Tale” Iranian style.

GreekEmpress, when I read that book in 1985, I thought that its nightmare scenario had little to do with Judaism or Christianity, but a lot to do with places like Iran. And this was before I even knew much about Islam.
Walter Sieruk says
The Hijab is a symbol of Islamic oppression of females, both girls and women.
Sometimes the Islamic oppression of much worse the symbolic gills and women ,at times it’s actual physical violence which takes different heinous forms as beating , FGM and the brutal ,cruel ,vicious malicious and murderous Islam custom that many Muslim so inappropriately call ‘honor killing.”
Nevertheless ,many naive and gullible Westerner’s still believe the propagandists and apologists for Islam then they make the bogus claim that “Islam respects woman.”
Many Westerners need wake up to the reality that Islam is a religion of harsh brutal misogyny.

Iranian Police Demand More Officers To Enforce Hijab Requirement on Women
…………………
Iran is falling apart–but what they really need is more “religious police”, and to send freedom-loving youth to prison for a quarter of a century.
God, I hate Islam.
The Political Oracle says
On 23 March 1976, Iran entered into full force the ICCPR but is still a voice at the UN after violating the ICCPR. Both UN and Iran are accommodation parties to religious discrimination and political oppression against women. The international community is cowardice and is allowing Iran and Pakistan free reign to oppress society but not speaking out! The world need look no further than Iran to see oppressive Islam in action! So patronizing that religion is! So oppressive! How did humanity get to this point! Iran must not be allowed to hide any longer! Iranian dictators must be handed their sentences now!
Walter Sieruk says
That this Islamic tyranny of Iran is enforcing women to wear the jihad ,more than ever before if possible, reveals Islam’s oppression of women.
It’s very important for Westerners not to let the propagandist and apologists for Islam fool them when they bogus claim that “Islam respects women.”
That claim has proven to be false by the words of the Qu ‘ran and by the other authorized written works of Islam as well as the awful ,terrible, behavior of many Muslim male towards both girls and women.
Islam incites and inspires much vicious and malicious action to girls as FGM and murderous action towards girls and women .As seen in deadly cruelly and heinous murdering Islamic practice that is so very inappropriately called :honor killing.”
European pagan says
Some weeks before, an Iranian woman told me:
– In Iran the weather is hot, and we had to wear hijab, do you know how horrible it was?
Why is it good to make their own women unhappy?
I love Iblis says
I agree with every word you say. I really feel sad for women who are veiled, especially when the weather is hot. It just saddens and angers me. Angers me against cruel people who persecute women with that disgusting thing hijab. Non-Muslim governments should campaign against hijab and veiling. Women were free in the Ancient Pagan cultures. I hope that beautiful days come back again and we get rid of barbaric ideologies like islam.
European pagan says
I hope Islam will disappear from the world.
The same woman told me, on the papers she is muslim but she doesn’t believe in anything, she is atheist.
Idol and Icon says
Well done to these brave women, they are the silent resistance. Where are the feminists in support of these women who refuse to wear the headbag?
Phil Copson says
The Chinese Govt and security apparatus have shown themselves ready, willing and eager to suppress and torture their own muslim population and use them for slave labour, organ harvesting etc – presumably they’ll be happy to provide the same service in Iran ?
So – what else have the Chinese promised to do in return for getting military bases, islands, Iran’s oil reserves, ports, dock facilities, and infrastructure in general ?
To wipe out Israel ? provide nuclear weapons ? arm Iran’s proxies in Central America against the USA ?
At present, Israel takes out Iran’s nuclear facilities as it finds them: Will any future Left-wing Israeli government have the cojones to flatten them when they’ve been built by their ideological soul-mates in the Chinese Communist Party ?
Walter Sieruk says
The Islamic state police of Iran are now even worse than before , that hardly seems possible , in the forcing of women to wear the hijab . Of course after that hijab law is absolutely and unconditionally enforced it naturally follows, in tyranny, that many more harsh Islamic requirements will be then enforced on the already terrible oppressed women who are trapped and forced to exist in that tyrannical Islamic regime of Iran.
Furthermore, of the many affront and violations against human rights that Islamic revolution of Iran which imprisons women for not wearing the hijab is but one part of the anti-female tyranny of this tyrannical “mullah regime” of Iran.
For that ruthless cruel brutal heinous regime of Iran that is so unfittingly has the word “Republic” in its title ,for its called “ The Islamic Republic of Iran” [ I R I]. On the topic of this Islamic tyranny a former Muslim revealed that “The IRI system recognizes women as dependent upon men and incomplete human beings who need to be supervised and controlled by men and the State. This author further exposed that “Women are created for the purposes of giving pleasure to men and child bearing – functions that confine them to the home”
This is a male Chauvinistic as can possibly be. In addition this writer further makes it known that “The IRI legal system still retains traditional patriarchal bias that can be described as nothing but systemic subordination of women , which is undoubtedly a human rights violation .” This author further reveals that “Iran is of what Islamic fundamentalists desire, an Islamic State, and the consequence of achieving it “State Terror. Instead of utopia, Iran is an Islamic totalitarian nightmare…” and “the Islamic Republic of Iran exists and operates as what every Islamic fundamentalist dreams of, an Islamic state ruled by Sharia …What followed its establishment was the inevitable consequence and inexorable logic of its Islamic premises; state terrorism, a merciless tyranny.” [1]
This heinous Islamic misogyny has been also exposed by another author who was born and lived in a Middle Eastern nation for many years. She wrote “Female freedom and independence is one of the greatest sins in Islam…” and “Women in Islam are considered unclean, deemed inferior even to dirt.” [2]
All this is wicked, unjust and misogynistic to the extreme. Islam had not regard for human life, regardless of what the apologists for this religion will claim and the spread of this Islamic revolution to other countries would only be a plague upon the nations and people of the world.

The Iranian authorities might have to consult with Western nations – our health experts and politicians – to see how to enforce mandatory ‘mask’ requirements – hahahahahahahaha….

Ludicrous false moral equivalence.
OLD GUY says
HEY IRAN DEFUND the police! BLM and ANTIFA will be over there shortly to give you a hand in freeing up the oppressed. Unfortunately none of the above will happen. The women of islamic states are some of the most oppressed people on earth. How sad for them. while at the same time the EU. and Western world leaders are exposing the rest of us to the muslim/islamic migration invasion of our countries.
