"Indecent"
An unidentified woman, left, leaves the Irshad Judiciary Compound, north
of Tehran, Iran, after receiving 70 lashes for taking part in a New Year's
party wearing "indecent" clothing Wednesday, Jan. 3, 2001. Her
mother, right, and an unidentified woman, center, walk with her. Police
arrested and jailed more than 250 people including some foreigners for
attending the private party "indecently" dressed. In Iran, which
implements strict interpretation of Islamic laws, women are supposed to
wear clothing that only shows their faces and hands.
