Iran mullah: improperly dressed woman receive medal of disgrace

The Friday prayers imam of the city of Mashhad, northeast Iran, has described a woman receiving a medal from an Indian referee and Iran’s flag being raised as a “disgrace for the Islamic world”.
“When an improperly clothed woman goes on a pedestal to receive a medal, and then an Indian referee places a medal around her neck and the Iranian flag is raised, this is a disgrace for the Islamic world,” Alam al-Hoda said in his meeting with the deputy Minister of Sports and Youths.
“A few years ago I said our most important initiative was to present hijab in the international stage. With such a perspective we must take advantage of our management and take action in a way that in a women’s sports event not even one man should even film the event,” he added.
