At least nine women have been maimed (with one succumbing to her injuries) in the last three weeks by suspected hardliners unhappy with the level of obedience to the Iranian regime’s strict dress code. Shouting, "The one who splashes acid is a regime element – we lack security" and "Support us, support us, splashing acid is a crime," protesters skirmished with Iran’s brutal Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps who reportedly fired tear gas and pepper spray into the crowd.
The protesters also demonstrated against a leading imam who has condoned the use of violence against women who do not dress according to the Islamic regime's strict dress code.
Authorities briefly detained famed Iranian human rights lawyer Nasrin Sotoudeh.
Soutoudeh spent three years in Tehran’s notorious Evin prison for defending political prisoners. She has since been prevented from practicing law.
Two days after the protest, authorities arrested Iranian photojournalist Arya Jafara, whose photos of the protesters were distributed globally.
The acid attacks and subsequent protests took place as the backdrop of a debate being waged in the Iranian parliament about
a controversial bill that has been proposed by hardliners to allow common citizens as well as militias to enforce the dress code, as well as any other interpretation of Islamic morality that they deem is being violated."
Now there's a bright future for a fun society, when citizens that are the embodiment of pure evil, are put in charge of enforcing what they personally consider violations of "Islamic morality" with an acid wash. Yet Muhammad's followers still can't seem to get that all of the problems are a result of following Satan, through his "messenger" Muhammad.
