TEHRAN:: Iran has doubled the number of police assigned to its more than a year-long crackdown against women flouting Islamic dress codes, Kargozaran newspaper said on Wednesday. The dress code requires women to cover their hair and wear long, loose clothes to disguise the shape of their bodies. Violators can receive lashes, fines or imprisonment, although most usually receive a stern warning by street patrols. In addition to women flouting the dress codes, police have stopped men with spiky haircuts deemed Western. Barber shops have been temporarily shut for offering such haircuts.
