The Iranian women are still standing for what they believe is there own right. So they are still breaking the law with out thinking of the consequence's that could cost them their lives.

Since Ahmadin Nejad announced that’s all men and women should cover up even more. The women by wearing the longer Hejab and the men to stop dressing like the westerner’s. The young generation acted in a different way to what was asked of them. That Reaction was not to pay any attention to what has been said or the law that has been set out.

This poignant photo shows an Iranian girl being arrested for daring to wear red clothing. No doubt she knew arrest and even beatings were a possibility when she stepped out that day, but she did it anyway. Why? I cannot hope to speak for someone who showed more courage in one day than I have in a lifetime just by getting dressed, but I wager she believed in her inherent right to wear whatever she wanted, and she was prepared to fight for that right.




In an encounter last month on a street in Tehran, two policewomen with tightly fitting headscarves chastised a younger woman whose hair showed. Since 1979, Iranian law has specified that women and men must dress in a manner befitting Islam, and the law is interpreted very strictly at times. Police work apparently like any other place in the world. But here in the Iranian capital their targets are women deemed to have infringed the Islamic republic's strict dress rules.
