IRAN’S WESTERN CRACKDOWN: Morality police raid clothes shops in ban of un-Islamic clothing

| Morality police have raided clothes shops in Iran
The crackdown on Western outfits in the Islamic Republic has seen factories and shops being targeted - and comes after a leading cleric bizarrely accused the fashion of causing rivers to run dry.
At least 15 women’s clothes shops have been closed down by morality police in Hamedan in a renewed drive to wipe out improper clothing.
Four factories and shops have also been shut down in Isfahan, central Iran.
Islamic codes of behaviour and dress are strictly enforced in the country with women expected to cover their heads, wear trousers and a long sleeved coat or tunic that reaches to the mid-thigh or knee.
