In Iran, the video of a marriage proposal in a popular tourist destination is causing a stir. The video shows how a man kneels before his partner at the grave of the Persian writer Hafez (Hafez) in the cultural metropolis of Shiraz and asks her for her hand. Contrary to what is required, the woman does not wear a headscarf. Following the scene, Fars province has now suspended its tourism director, state broadcaster IRIB reported Monday evening.
Two people responsible for the monument were fired. Hafez is revered in Iran as a poet and national hero. His poems are also internationally known. The park in Shiraz is visited by millions of tourists every year. The authorities justified the suspension and firings as violations of Islamic values. Legal action has also been taken.
Headscarves are monitored by cameras
Since the protests against the spiritual and political leadership of the Islamic Republic in the autumn, more and more Iranian women are ignoring the headscarf requirement in public. The state is attempting to investigate and punish violations through video surveillance. Criminal justice reform follows. The demonstrations were triggered by the death of a young Kurdish woman in mid-September. She was forcibly arrested by morale guards and later died in police custody.
