We posted Thursday about Tehran’s police chief threatening to arrest suntanned women (deemed to be violating the spirit of Islamic laws), along with a report that the government of Iran was seeking a position on an international women’s rights body.
Sure enough, buried in a United Nations press release is the news that Iran was one of 11 nations elected to fill vacancies for four-year terms on the UN’s Commission on the Status of Women.
