The National Council of Resistance of Iran condemns this suppressive measure by the mullahs' regime, and calls on the nation, both men and women, to defy the Khomeini regime's anti-human laws and give a decisive response to the guards' offenses against and mistreatment of the honorable women of Iran.
By adopting such laws, the regime attempts to prevent the spread of the resistance of the Iranian women, who are the prime victims of this regime, bearing the brunt of oppression, both socially and economically.
Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, the Iranian Resistance's President-elect, has time and again repeated that the mullahs' crimes against women have nothing to do with Islam, and Khomeini and his heirs are the worst enemies of Islam and Muslims. Women's equal rights, and specifically their freedom to choose their own clothing and covering, have been guaranteed in Mrs. Rajavi's Charter for Fundamental Freedoms for future Iran, announced on June 16, 1995, to the largest-ever gathering of Iranians abroad .
The National Council of Resistance draws the attention of all human rights authorities to the unprecedented escalation of suppression in recent weeks in Iran. To this end, the regime has unleashed its gangs of thugs in public places and adopted severe punishments. The NCR also draws the attention of all women's rights organizations to the deplorable plight of women in Iran.
