Not stopping at imprisoning and torturing women for refusing to wear Sharia-mandated hijab, the Iranian regime is now cracking down on ‘indecently dressed’ mannequins in shops, the Iranian state-controlled media reported. Iranian police are screening shop windows for any violation of the Sharia dress-code and shutting down retailers found in violation. They also “warned online clothing retailers that display their products in an un-Islamic fashion,” news reports say.
Iranian women are forced to follow the strict Islamic dress-code put in place by the regime once it grabbed power in 1979. Women taking off the hijab, the mandatory Islamic headscarf, in defiance of the Sharia Law, can face rape, torture, and long prison terms in Iran.
The Czech Republic-based Radio Free Europe reported the Iranian crackdown on ‘un-Islamic’ dress-code:
A Tehran Police official on Friday said indecently dressed mannequins that weaken “the culture of modesty and hijab” and “promote immorality” will be removed by the police from shop windows.Colonel Nader Moradi, Deputy Commander of the Greater Tehran Police for Supervision of Commercial Venues, said the Police will implement its program to “regulate clothing retailers” in Tehran from Saturday. Implementation of the program will continue until the Iranian New Year holidays which start on March 21, the Iranian Students News Agency (ISNA) quoted him as saying.Women’s clothing in Tehran’s many shops and shopping centers is often displayed on headless dummies with bare legs, arms and even shoulders. Women cannot appear in public wearing the same attire.The Police Colonel said the rules and regulations have already been explained to clothing retailers and to implement the program officers in charge of supervision of public venues will continuously visit retail shops, remove the mannequins and shut down the shops that have infringed.
In August 2019, The regime sentenced a women rights activist for 24 years, including 15 for “spreading prostitution by taking off her hijab.” 20-year-old Saba Kord Afshari had refused to wear the hijab in public. In an attempt to intimidate other Iranian women from taking Afshari’s example, the regime made a video of her confessing to the “crime.” Vida Movahed, who became the iconic symbol of the 2017 anti-hijab protests for climbing up on a utility box and waving her hijab on a stick, was handed down a one-year prison sentence for her defiance.
In the name of enforcing Islamic law and silencing women opposing the regime, Tehran systemically deploys rape and torture. According to women imprisoned in Iranian jails, the prison guards hand out condoms to criminals to rape female inmates opposed to the regime. “In various cells inside the prison, rape has become a common act and acceptable,” a jailed anti-regime critic, Mehdi Mahmoudian, revealed in her letters smuggled out of prison in 2009. “Criminals are repeatedly seen with condoms in hand, hunting for their victims,” a relative of a female inmate disclosed. Similar allegations of rape and torture of women inmates also surfaced in the wake of the November 2019 anti-regime protests, the U.S. State Department confirmed.
Despite the brutal repression by the regime, brave Iranian men and women rose up again in November 2019. The security forces led by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), regime’s dreaded military arm, murdered over a thousand people and arrested thousands more, many of them women, for taking part in the latest wave of anti-regime protests.
Needless to say, Western feminists, busy fighting traces of patriarchy and “toxic masculinity” on college campuses and in their work place, couldn’t be bothered to stand in solidarity with their courageous Iranian sisters defying the regime’s Sharia diktats.

Wow! These dirty old men even get turned on by shop dummies, how pathetic!
gravenimage says
Stephen, there is actually a video out there of a Muslim man molesting a mannequin outside a shop in Europe:

Rarely says
How many years did the mannequin get?
WPM says
Will the Moslems “stone ” the mannequin ? Put the mannequin on trial ? Even inanimate are in danger when Moslem males have a “sexual emergencies ” .
Mohamed Fuhqwadi al-KABOOM says
《tongue in cheek》
1. You cannot rape CHATTEL
2. Whores w/out hijab are hookers, not “women”
3. We Iranians pride ouselves in our tolerant co-ed prisons where sex needs of BOTH women and men are met.
So go MYOFB you kufar, kafir infidel islamaphobes!
mortimer says
Yes, are those Shi’ites raping the MANNEQUINS as well?
mortimer says
Now the Iranian women will get really, really mad. As a generality, Iranian women tend to be very elegantly dressed and fashion-conscious. They will be fuming mad at those idiots. They have lit another fuse.
This madness will become a grievance that never leaves the mind of Iranian women.
Westman says
The justified retribution upon Khamenei and his thugs, whatever its source, will be too swift and too gentle to supply adequate justice. Like Hitler, Khamenei’s crimes are of such magnitude that he could never pay for them; not even by Allah’s melting skins prescriptiom.
Diane Harvey says
The mannequin (or is it Muslima-quin) on the picture’s right. She looks, given the position of the feet, like she’s hanging from an invisible noose.
jewdog says
This is emblematic of how real women are treated in Iran, and judging by the massive protests, not all of them are dummies.
elee says
Are they gonna whip the dummies? Somebody tell them to look in the mirror.
Mark Spahn (West Seneca, NY) says
“According to women imprisoned in Iranian jails, the prison guards hand out condoms to criminals to rape female inmates opposed to the regime.”
Condoms? Isn’t that anti-Islamic?
Narrated Ibn Muhairiz: I entered the Mosque and saw Abu Said Al-Khudri and sat beside him and asked him about Al-Azl (i.e. coitus interruptus). Abu Said said, “We went out with Allah’s Apostle for the Ghazwa of Banu Al-Mustaliq and we received captives from among the Arab captives and we desired women and celibacy became hard on us and we loved to do coitus interruptus. So when we intended to do coitus interruptus, we said, ‘How can we do coitus interruptus before asking Allah’s Apostle who is present among us?” We asked (him) about it and he said, ‘It is better for you not to do so, for if any soul (till the Day of Resurrection) is predestined to exist, it will exist.” Sahih Bukhari 5:59:459

I think this is more to protect the rapists from any stray STDs than it is to protect the victims from pregnancy.
ET says
I would be willing to bet their size of condoms come in one size, small. Has anyone ever done a study on the size of a Muslim’s man penis in relation to his brain?

Iranian Regime Cracks Down on ‘Indecently Dressed’ Mannequins in Shops
………………..
This would be laughable if it were not leading to so much suffering.
revereridesagain says
A mannequin can’t punch a “morality” cop in the face. Makes the little morality mice feel safer.
Rufus says
The Iranian govt is so stupid they resort to this. Anything evil countries like this practice.
Thomas Richard says
Will they stone the mannequins with artificial rocks?
Giacomo Latta says
”the Iranian regime is now cracking down on ‘indecently dressed’ mannequins”
So the Regime is so cowed by the (living flesh) populace it is only brave when facing dummies. Sounds about right.
gravenimage says
I’m sure terrible things are being done to the shop owners.
OLD GUY says
Thats right these MEN want to control every aspect of your life. These mannequins are only receiving the same kind of treatment that islamic women receive. Oh wait I’am wrong the mannequins are actually being respected and treated better then islamic women.
Maybe the Iranian leadership is worried that the men will start raping Mannequins instead of young girls and women.
Dictatorship/Mind control is what the leadership is after and they are using a religion to justify their actions.
Chaz Martel says
This ‘progressively’ more absurd regime (whether they are aware of it or not) are shooting themselves in their overlarge clown feet. One day, in the not too distant future, they will be laughed out of power.
