CNN —Iran’s parliament has enacted a harsh new modesty law, significantly tightening existing dress restrictions that have already fueled nationwide protests and posed a serious challenge to regime stability. “In my opinion the hijab law, which I have to implement, is vague. It defines improper dress in various ways, ranging from nudity and dressing immodestly to wearing the hijab incorrectly. The law also introduces a system of fines and restrictions with financial penalties, even for initial offenses. While the harsher penalties have caused concern for Iranians, a particularly controversial aspect of the legislation is expanded surveillance.

On Sunday, state media was keen to downplay Montazeri’s comments, saying that the morality police does not fall under the authority of the judiciary. Notorious for terrorizing citizens as they enforce the country’s conservative rules, the morality police have been the main coercive tool implementing Iran’s hijab law.

Неправительственная организация строит первую в мире школу, напечатанную на 3D-принтере, чтобы удовлетворить потребность в дополнительных образовательных пространствах в сообществах с ограниченными ресурсами. Некоммерческая организация Thinking Huts стоит за пилотным проектом в африканском островном государстве Мадагаскар, который в будущем будет распространен на другие страны для расширения доступа к образованию во всем мире. Школа была спроектирована архитектурной фирмой Studio Mortazavi из Сан-Франциско и Лиссабона в сотрудничестве с Thinking Huts. «Мы можем построить эти школы менее чем за неделю, включая фундамент, а также все необходимые электромонтажные и сантехнические работы. Стены будут сделаны из слоев специальной цементной смеси, которая, как утверждает Thinking Hats, выделяет меньше выбросов.
