Isfahan, Iran, May 19 – State Security Force in the central Iranian cities of Isfahan and Shahinshahr have launched a major crackdown on women for “mal-veiling”.

The crackdown began immediately after Isfahan’s Friday Prayer leader in his sermon warned women and young girls over their “loose” veiling.  

Over the past five days “anti-vice” patrols have been seen stopping and arresting numerous women over their “un-Islamic” attire.
