Iranian women defy fatwa by riding bikes in public
Iranian women have been posting photos and videos of themselves cycling, defying a state-issued fatwa by Iran's Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei. Declaring the fatwa, Ali Khamenei stated, "Riding a bicycle often attracts the attention of men and exposes the society to corruption, and thus contravenes women's chastity." The fatwa-defying campaign was initiated by Facebook page 'My Stealthy Freedom'.
