Iran says there will be no retreat on the mandatory hijab rule

Two women have been arrested, in Iran, after being attacked with yoghurt, apparently for not covering their hair in public. The man who features in a video which went viral, appears to angrily throw a tub of yoghurt over the women, was also arrested for disturbing the public order. The arrests follow months of protests in the country, demanding an end to the compulsory wearing of the hijab.
