Wife of Iranian Political Prisoner Arrested for Seemingly No Reason Written by  Mansoureh Galestan  on  02 August 2019 . The wife of an Iranian political prisoner has been arrested by security forces and taken to an unknown location.

Fouladvand, a supporter of the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI), also known as the...

70 Female Cyclists Arrested in Iran Written by  Mohammad Sadat Khansari  on  01 August 2019 . Seventy female cyclists were arrested in Tehran’s Vali-Asr Square for breaking the Regime’s mandatory hijab laws, according to Judiciary spokesman Gholam Hossein Ismaeli on Tuesday. He didn’t say anything about the timing of the arrests, only saying that the women had broken the rules of “chastity and hijab”. Previously, Massoumeh Ebtekar, a deputy in family and women’s affairs ministry, had earlier  said  that there were “no rules in Iran which could prevent women from riding bicycles”. Presumably, she meant that women would have to wear the mandatory dress code – a head-to-toe black veil called “chador” –while riding, which would be impossible. It should be noted that 70% of Iranian women do not believe in the forced veil, which is according to research done last July by the Office of Cultural Studies of the Research Center in the mullahs’ parliament.
