An Iranian cleric said he was beaten by a woman in the northern province of Semnan after giving her a warning for being “badly covered,” the state-run Mehr news agency reported.
Hojatoleslam Ali Beheshti said he encountered the woman in the street while on his way to the mosque in the town of Shahmirzad, and asked her to cover herself up, to which she replied “you, cover your eyes,” according to Mehr. The cleric repeated his warning, which he said prompted her to insult and push him.

Nice move, Lady! Still given that this is Iran, she’ll probably get strung up for her little act of Woman’s Lib….
Yeah, but the thing is that she can just go and pull the hood up on her ghost costume and blend right in.
Iran needs a lot more like her.
Good for her, but she’ll probably get a faceful of acid for her insubordination.
I was about going to say – first they have to find her, and “hiding in plain sight” takes on a whole new meaning for women over there.
Never understood how husbands could keep track of wives…
Maybe they don’t! 😀
