Iran State Security forces raided a number of boutique and women’s wear shops in “Darvazeh Dowlat” district of the capital on Thursday. They were checking on the shops’ inventories under the pretext of carrying women’s dress in contrast to the so called “moral dress code.” They closed down a number of shops that were carrying such items and asked them to appear in court to get permission for reopening their shops.
The shop owners who realized going to court and wining back the case means at least a few weeks without work, protested and clashed with the suppressive security forces.
