Seven Iranian women sentenced to 50 lashes for undermining Ramadan codes
Seven Iranian women in the southwestern city of Shiraz were sentenced to 50 lashes each for undermining strict Islamic codes during the holy month of Ramadan, a hardline paper reported. The women, wearing heavy makeup, were dancing and listening to loud music at the time of "iftar", the evening meal that breaks the day-long fast during Ramadan, making fun of fasting Muslims, the Kayhan newspaper said. They were arrested by police, the paper said, without giving any further details.Posted by: TS 2003-11-16 |
