Iran plans to expand misogynistic and oppressive measures at universities

 The mullahs' anti-human regime, on the eve of new academic year, has resorted to new repressive and misogynistic measures in universities and educational centers in fear of student protests. The suppressive plan, called "chastity and the veil," reflects the fact that women's oppression is still among the chief policies of the regime. The plan was instructed by the Rouhani government to universities.

According to this outrageous plan, the size of heels and fingernails and color of female students’ clothing are specified, and female students must commit to respecting these medieval and insulting instructions.

For male students some criteria have also been specified such as: "The use of tie and bow tie of any kind is prohibited. Use of short and tight pants, tight and thin pants and deliberately torn and patched pants, long hair… so that it falls lower than the collar... is prohibited." (Mehr News Agency September 19, 2016)

On these suppressive plans of the clerical regime, the chairwoman of the Women’s Committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, said: “Such plans and implementing these criteria in the universities’ campuses is tantamount to meddling in the most private aspects of people’s lives and is simply indicative of the clerical regime’s fear of Iranian women and the young generation. Their implementation only adds to the hatred of the regime by the Iranian people at large and their unity and solidarity to spread their protests until the realization of freedom and democracy in Iran.
