Iran: SSF harassment of women in Ski resort led to angry protests

A number of young men clashed with the State Security Forces in Totchal ski resorts (north of Tehran) on Tuesday, December 29, when they attempted to disturb young women because of their clothing.

The SSF forces (Ski Police) asked women to leave the resort, but young men confronted them and engaged in a clash. Reinforcement forces were sent in with Ski cycles and two young men were arrested. The arrests, however, infuriated the people who staged an angry protest and forced the SSF to free the young men.
