Mannequin Mascetomies: Iranian Officials Reportedly Ordering Removal of Breasts From Mannequins

There is another bizarre account from Iran where the government has been cracking down on “baldy veiled women.” It appears that it is not just actual women who offend Sharia-sensibilities. There is a photo running on the web that allegedly shows how Iran’s religious police are giving double mascetomies to mannequins to avoid the appearance of breasts in public.

This issue was made public in a 2007 documentary Rough Cut by Iranian director Firouzeh Khosrovani.

Khosrovani stated in 2009 that “The amputation of the mannequins is something that can explain many things. It is imposed on the shopkeepers under the claim that they are very sexy and they provoke sinful, immoral thoughts in men. My question is why do women have to cover ourselves in order to prevent man’s sin?”

His work, however, is banned in Iran and even harder to see than breasts on mannequins.
