Women in Tehran will not face arrest for flouting dress code, say police
Police in Iran's capital Tehran have said they will no longer arrest women for failing to observe the Islamic dress code in place since the 1979 revolution.
The announcement signalled an easing of punishments for violating the country's conservative dress code, as called for by the young and reform-minded Iranians who helped re-elect President Hassan Rouhani, a relative moderate, earlier this year.
