Iran Arrests Organizers of Marathon Over Women's Hijab Violations

Iranian authorities have arrested several organizers of a marathon race after images of unveiled female participants appeared online. The arrests occurred following a race held on Friday. Photographs and videos shared on social media showed women running without the mandatory headscarf, or hijab. Iran's law requires all women to cover their hair in public. The detention of the event's organizers highlights the government's continued enforcement of this rule. No further details about the number of arrests or specific charges were immediately available. The incident underscores the ongoing tensions over women's rights and dress code laws in the country.
