A member of the Iranian Parliament has expressed his disapproval of the immodest attire of Russian women working at the Bushehr nuclear plant. According to the parliament member, the women were getting extra payment to dress in accordance with Islamic laws, specifically to the demand that women's heads be covered in a hijab. Despite the additional pay, the Iranian official stated, the women were seen around town improperly dressed and uncovered.
Iranian legislator Mehdi Mousavi Nezhad said, "We've formed a special camp for the Russians, bet recently they've been spotted in Bushehr markets, usually with their heads uncovered."
He stressed that the Russian employees at the nuclear facility must follow the laws of the nation and be considerate of the "values of Iranian and Islamic culture."
