Iran prosecutes woman for 'disrepecting' hijab
TEHERAN - Iran’s judiciary is prosecuting a woman for “disrespecting” hijab, the Islamic headscarf after she threw hers to the ground during a public meeting, an Iranian news agency reported on Saturday.
“Legal proceedings have been launched against a woman who disrespected her headscarf during the election for the Teheran branch of the Iran Construction Engineering Organisation,” the Tasnim news agency said. “It was falsely claimed that this individual was disqualified for not wearing the headscarf,” Tasnim added, without elaborating.
