Speaking to reporters, Colonel Rasoul Khorshidi-Far said, The main aim of the State Security Forces in combating mal-veiling is to build [Islamic”> culture in society. If any opposition is witnessed in this regard, it will be decisively dealt with.
Colonel Khorshidi-Far added that if any woman refuses to obey the instructions of the police in covering herself with a veil, she would have to appear in court to face prosecution.
In August, Irans judicial spokesman vowed that improperly-veiled women will be treated as if they had no Islamic veil at all.
Being improperly veiled and not wearing a veil are no different. When it is clear from the appearance of a woman that she has violated the law, then the crime is obvious and law enforcement agents can take legal measures against her, Jamal Karimi-Rad said.
Crimes such as mal-veiling or other prohibited acts, which happen before the eyes of a law enforcement agent, are evident crimes and must be dealt with in accordance with the law.
Women have been facing a harsher crackdown since the June elections that led to Ahmadinejads presidency.
