The womenÂ’s hair weÂ’ll cut in the fashion of a female police officer. Then weÂ’ll teach them a lesson."Iskander denied the punishment constituted a breach of human rights.
"WeÂ’ll change their disgusting clothes. WeÂ’ll replace them with nice clothes. WeÂ’ll give them toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, sandals and prayer gear. It will all be given to them.
