| Iranian police have closed down 24 Internet cafes and other coffee shops in as many hours, as part of a broad crackdown on "immoral" behavior in the Islamic state, official media said Sunday. The action in Tehran province was the latest move in a campaign against practices deemed incompatible with Islamic values, including women not adhering to strict dress codes and barber shops offering men Western hair styles. "Using immoral computer games, storing obscene photos...and the presence of women wearing improper hijab were among the reasons why they have been closed down," said Nader Sarkari, a provincial police commander. |
