Iran: Supreme Leader’s ridiculous fatwa banning women riding bicycles

A week before this fatwa, Khamenei defined "the role and mission of " women "as mother and housewife" when madating "the direction of the regime" and general policies on "family". (Khamenei site –September 3)
This ridiculous fatwa and statement that reveals the backward and reactionary nature of fundamentalists ruling Iran, raises nothing but ridicule and mockery of the Iranian people, especially women.
The misogynist clerical regime, while being unable to answer to the most rudimentary demands of the Iranian people especially women and youth, has found its only way as to intensify suppression and discrimination more than ever. These actions reveal the illusions about "moderation" in this repressive regime.
The Iranian noble women, who are always in the front lines of the movement to change the clerical regime, will undoubtedly eliminate this fascist and misogynist regime forever from history of Iran by solidarity and alliance with other oppressed people.
