<p>(PD/Agencia EFE).- Irán fabricará <em>"bicicletas islámicas"</em>
para las mujeres, pensadas para <a moz-do-not-send="true"

<p>"Este proyecto permite fomentar el deporte femenino", señaló
Elaheh Sofali, una de las responsables del proyecto, según informa el
diario gubernamental del país.</p>
<p>Faezeh Hachémi, hija del ex presidente iraní Akbar Hachémi
Rafsandjani, ex responsable del deporte olímpico femenino, intentó el
desarrollo del ciclismo entre las mujeres en los años 90, pero está
decisión no tuvo el éxito deseado por la oposición de los religiosos
conservadores.</p>

<p>Como cada primavera, la campaña contra la "vestimenta indecorosa"
se está ensañando con las mujeres, cuyos pañuelos coloridos y cada vez
más escuetos desafían la imposición del uniforme islámico.</p>
<p>Sólo durante los cuatro primeros días de la campaña, 150.000
personas fueron interpeladas en todo el país, de las que 13 pasaron a
disposición judicial, según informó el jefe de la policía, general
Ismael Ahmadi-Moghaddam.</p>
<p>El resto se libraron firmando compromisos de buena conducta que en
caso de reincidencia se aportarán ante el juez. Desde el arranque de la
campaña, más de 3.000 mujeres (una media de 150 al día) han sido
detenidas y han pasado al menos unas horas en comisaría</p>
