Iran in der UN-Frauenkommission

Bei der UN geht es einmal mehr vorwärts:

Without fanfare, the United Nations this week elected Iran to its Commission on the Status of Women, handing a four-year seat on the influential human rights body to a theocratic state in which stoning is enshrined in law and lashings are required for women judged “immodest.”

Und gleich nutzt das Land seine neue Rolle:

A national crackdown on the opposition movement will extend to women deemed to be dressed immodestly, the Telegraph reports. Tehran chief of police Brig. Hossein Sajedinia has said the authorities will be taking to task all Iran’s “suntanned women and young girls who look like walking mannequins.”
