Fashion police get tough in TehranWednesday 19 April 2006
All women in Iran are obliged to observe a dress code Iran has said it will renew its crackdown against women who violate the Islamic dress code in the capital.
Iran's police force outlined plans on Tuesday for a renewed crackdown against women who they say show off too much of their bodies in the streets of Tehran. Morteza Talai, Tehran's police chief, told the semi-official Fars agency: "In our campaign, we will confront women showing their bare legs in short pants."

"We are also going to combat women wearing skimpy headscarves, short and form-fitting coats, and the ones walking pets in parks and streets," he said. Also police will stop "the ones creating noise pollution" by playing their car stereos too loud.
