Tehran shopping mall shut down over improper hijab

Authorities have shut down a famous shopping mall in the north of the Iranian capital Tehran.

They say they made the move because shop and restaurant owners in Opal failed to heed warnings against inappropriate hijab of their female customers.

Police say they had sent many hijab notices to the board of directors of the mall, telling them that continued failure on their part to make customers observe the hijab rules could lead to the closure of the shopping center.

Several smaller businesses have also been shut down in Tehran and other Iranian cities for the same reason in recent days.
