We need conformation...
Don’t have that info. Quick phone call is all I got.
Got a local phone call just now that the Head of National police (apparently as per a local Farsi language magazine I have not had time to check) has stated that women in Islamic Iran can only leave their homes on “odd” days and men on “even” days and that on Friday (their Sunday) they can go out as a family.
Also that authorities will be going door to door and any household with less than four children will be fined and penalized.
This is impossible to believe so just take it as stated till I can get some confirmation. In the same breath, it is not that far-fethced within th scope of their mentality and ever more repressive actions to control the populace.
If they are truly worried by dissent from the increasingly unhappy populace, then this would suit them well, as it keeps half the protest at home on any given day and gives them persmission to shoot the other half if it appears.
And having babies means pregnant women who are too busy to get involved with opposition to the government.
Again, on second thoughts, this sounds EXACTLY what Russian (Soviet) tacticians would employ in Iran. There are some 50,000 Russian advisors/consultants inside Iran today.
Khomeini encouraged food shortages to keep people lined up at variuos places in lines. One for bread, another for a limited daily ration of meat and others for a ration of chickens, another for sugar, another for flour. Everyone was so occupied by standing in line at so many places to get a share of food items they had no time to be an activist.
