The head of the Organization of Religious Associations had planned for the presence of unveiled women in the mourning ceremonies

The head of the Organization of Religious Associations had planned for the presence of veiled women in the mourning processions.

The head of the Organization of Religious Associations announced the cancellation of the permit for a mourning procession in Karaj, where unveiled individuals were present, and stated that the head of the procession has been summoned by law enforcement authorities.

According to ISNA, Majid Babakhani, the head of the Organization of Religious Associations, mentioned during a press conference on the sidelines of the second scientific seminar on religious rituals that during the mourning ceremonies in the month of Muharram, the processions cannot address all the country’s issues, but they do their best within their capacity.

He noted that there were no reports of disrespectful actions by religious processions in the first ten days of Muharram this year and mentioned that the circulated video showing an unveiled group in a procession was from Karaj. He expressed regret that such behaviors have a history with this group, and they had been warned before Muharram as they were mourning in public streets.

Babakhani stated that the video was released on the day of Ashura, and immediately, with the cooperation of law enforcement, the head of the procession was summoned, and legal actions are underway regarding the confrontation with them.

The head of the Organization of Religious Associations and Organizations said that the actions taken in this organization unfortunately were planned, and the production and publication of this film were in line with this plan, which is why the organization’s permit was canceled.

He continued that the media team involved in distributing this film and representing it outside the country acted according to the planned program, which is currently being identified and dealt with by security forces.
