Another Tehran Crackdown
They're after beauty again:
Iran on Monday launched a new wave of a moral crackdown against women who "dress like models" and men whose hairstyles are deemed unIslamic, police said.
Tehran's police force dispatched dozens of police cars and minibuses into the early evening rush-hour to enforce the dress rules at major squares in the city centre, an AFP correspondent said.
The new "plan to increase security in society" -- which is limited to Tehran but will later extend nationwide -- comes after a pre-summer drive by the police resulted in thousands of warnings and hundreds of arrests.
Over a hundred have been arrested for "sex crimes" in the city where they hanged two gay teens. This has happened before, but it's a useful sign that the regime does not control the minds of the people.

Excerpt: Forgoing all semantical arguments, I'm hoping everyone can agree that this is bad. If you don't see lifestyle and dress repression by the state as totalitarian, well than maybe we're not working with the same lexicon.
