Iranian officials arrested two marathon organizers on Dec. 5, 2025, for allowing women to run without hijabs on Kish Island, violating Iran’s mandatory dress law.
Iranian authorities have arrested two organizers of a December 5, 2025, marathon on Kish Island after images showed female runners without hijabs, violating Iran’s mandatory headscarf law.
The event, which drew over 5,000 participants, prompted a criminal investigation for breaching public decency and religious norms, despite prior warnings.
The organizers, one a government official and the other from a private company, face charges over the event’s failure to uphold national dress codes.
The incident highlights ongoing tensions over women’s rights and state enforcement of Islamic dress rules, particularly following the 2022 protests sparked by Mahsa Amini’s death and growing public defiance.
