Iran arrests marathon organisers over women not wearing hijab - Magpie - Dec 7 2025
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c3e0z97qn3eo
Quote:The Iranian judiciary says two organisers of a marathon have been arrested for allowing women who were not wearing hijabs to take part.
The move comes after images appeared online of unveiled women competing in the race on Friday.
Quote:It is not just the flouting of the rules on the hijab by some female competitors but that the marathon was held at all that has drawn condemnation from the country theocratic Islamic leadership.

Imagine that... Hmm... seems like misogynistic patriarchal nations are uh... kinda shit like uh... always.
