-- Maktoob/AFP reports: "Golpayghani was reacting to remarks by interior minister Mostafa Mohammad Najjar in the holy city of Qom last week, who when asked whether Iran would appoint women as governors of provinces, replied: 'Yes. It is possible.'"
-- "Golpayghani said the appointment of women in such top jobs was against sharia (Islamic) law."
-- " 'They come to Qom, the centre of Shiite Islam, and announce that they will appoint women as governors of some provinces. Do you want to fight with the Koran and the Prophet with such talks that go against sharia?' he asked."
-- "In recent years Iranian women have outnumbered men in universities but they still account for only around 15 percent of the official work force."
-- "Since the 1979 Islamic revolution, women have been banned from becoming judges and suffer from legal inequalities with men in marriage, divorce and inheritance."

-- "The women are then inspected to see if the firmness is natural, or if it is the result of wearing a bra."
-- "If they are found wearing a bra, they are ordered to remove it and shake their breasts, residents said."
-- "Al Shabaab, which seeks to impose a strict interpretation of Sharia law over all Somalia, also amputated a foot and a hand each from two young men accused of robbery earlier this month."
-- "They have also banned movies, musical ringtones, dancing at wedding ceremonies and playing or watching soccer."
-- "'Al Shabaab forced us to wear their type of full veil and now they order us to shake our breasts,' a resident, Halima, told Reuters, adding that her daughters had been whipped on Thursday."
