Iran warns foreign visitors to comply with dress code
2007-05-01
Iran on Monday warned tourists and other foreigners visiting the country to obey its Islamic dress code, the ISNA news agency reported. "We have asked travel agencies to warn tourists and to explain the laws of this country," said Tehran's deputy chief of police, Hussein Sajedi-Nia. Iran has handed out more than 10,000 warnings over the past 10 days to women deemed to have infringed the dress code in the Islamic Republic, and dozens of others have been briefly detained at police stations. Sajedi-Nia indicated there was no chance of a let-up in the crackdown, a regular pre-summer measure, saying that from next week "plainclothes police will go into action." Women must cover their heads and conceal their curves in public in Iran.

I understand that Rosie has been in contact with the Goodyear company for an old blimp cover for her next trip" that's about the only thing big enough to 'cover the blubber, er, curves'

#3  Muzzie visitors to other countries should also comply with dress codes and customs. Get rid of the veils and burqas. We will deal with the ugliness.

#2  I've seen "300". I think I could get into a Persian dress-code what with the nose chains and the Red Sonja chain-mail bikinis for the ladies.
