Bad hijab’ linked to acid attacks on Iranian women says news

Quote
The violence led to chatter on social networks that there had been up to 13 acid attacks against women drivers. A series of acid attacks on women in the historic Iranian city of Isfahan has raised fears and prompted rumors that the victims were targeted for not being properly veiled.

Police have declined to comment on a motive but suspects have been arrested and an investigation is ongoing, General Hossein Ashtari was quoted as saying by the official IRNA news agency.

He said four acid attacks had been reported in Isfahan, 450 kilometers south of Tehran, but he gave no other details. The violence led to chatter on social networks that there had been up to 13 acid attacks against women drivers who were “badly veiled” with accompanying warnings against leaving car windows open.

Such incidents have risen in recent years in Pakistan, Afghanistan and India, with the abusers claiming they punished women for “sullying” their family “honor” by committing “indecent” behavior. Under Islamic law in force in Iran since the 1979 revolution, women must wear loose clothing, known as hijab, that covers the head and neck.

Recent years, however, have seen many wear a thin veil that hardly covers the hair and tight clothing or coats reaching mid-thigh - an ensemble often denounced by conservatives as “bad hijab” - instead of a traditional chador that covers the whole body.

A senior cleric of Isfahan, considered Iran's top tourist attraction for its carpets, ancient mosques and giant square - second only in size to Tiananmen Square in Beijing - condemned the attacks.

“Such an act under any pretext is reprehensible,” Hojatoleslam Mohammad Taghi Rahbar, a Friday prayers leader, told the ISNA news agency. “Even if a woman goes out into the street in the worst way, no one has the right to do such a thing,” he said.

A fearful resident of the city was quoted by ISNA as saying: “I roll the windows closed and I panic every time I hear the sound of a motorcycle approaching.”

Iranian MPs have written to President Hassan Rowhani in recent months to demand that police better enforce wearing of the veil.

very thoughtful BABOONS in Iranian Parliament ., Well... yes.. Veil is better than Hijab if it comes to choosing face versus BURNED FACE ..

I didn't know there are good hijabs and bad hijabs.. PATHETIC BRUTAL ROGUES with religious mind set..

Somayeh Mehri (29) and her daughter Rana Afghanipour (3) give each other a kiss

I don't know what to say.. I don't know what to write.........

Somayeh Mehri (29) and Rana Afghanipour (3) are a mother and daughter living in Bam, southern Iran. They were attacked with acid by Somayeh’s husband Amir. Somayeh had frequently been beaten and locked up by her husband, and finally found the courage to ask for a divorce.

Amir warned her that if she persisted in her attempts to leave him, she would not live out life with the face she had. One night in June 2011, he poured acid on Somayeh and Rana as they slept. Somayeh’s and Rana’s faces, hands, and, in places, their bodies were severely burned. Somayeh was blinded, and Rana lost one of her eyes.

Somayeh Mehri (29) walks with her daughter Rana Afghanipour (3) and another daughter, Nazanin, at Somayeh’s father’s house, the only place she feels calm after an acid attack eighteen months previously.

Seriously, they should have a day where all Iranian men have to wear hijab when they go out. Then, after spending the day in a stifling headscarf and chador they may begin to realize why women choose supposed "bad hijab".

Since the article talkes about women drivers being the victims of these attacksakes me wonder if these people doing such heinous deeds also have something against women drivers as well.

Atheism is a non-prophet organization.

تصویر سمت راست چهره واقعی منه. چهره مظلوم زن بودن و ایرانی بودن

I am a painter and this is a painting I've created to express the words I'd like to speak here better. My real portrait is the one you see on the right side of this painting. This is the real portrait of an Iranian woman. I am not just referring to these days and the acid attacks; it has been such a long time since our faces have begun to burn.. little by little. The face on the left hand side is just a mask we all wear. This pain on my face intensified when I heard that there's a new fire burning faces in the city of civilization, history, and art (She's referring to the acid attacks in the city of Isfahan)

Candlelight vigil held in Reyhaneh’s memory

Quote
ISLAMABAD: Human rights activists and students from various universities of the federal capital gathered in front of the National Press Club on Friday and held a candlelight vigil for Reyhaneh Jabbari.

A moment of silence was observed in Reyhaneh’s honour and her letter to her mother was also read out which left many among the participants teary-eyed. The protesters also condemned the violence against minorities in Pakistan, especially target killing of the Hazaras in Quetta.

Well there were very few people who walked silently.. That is OK ...few good folks are better than millions of sheep..
