TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iranian police have warned 122,000 people, mostly women, about flouting strict Islamic dress codes since April and nearly 7,000 of those attended classes on respecting the rules, a newspaper said on Thursday.
Such crackdowns, on the women as well as on men deemed to have haircuts considered too Westernised, are an annual event and usually last a few weeks. But this year's measures have been longer and more severe than in recent years. http://in.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idINIndia-29954320071011
