Iran launches aggressive crackdown on women who defy strict Islamic dress code

Last month, Iran launched an aggressive new crackdown on women who defy the country’s strict Islamic dress code. Amnesty International dubbed it a war on women. The human rights group says tactics include arbitrary arrest and detention, beatings and other forms of harassment. And one young woman who was detained agreed to share her experience. NPR’s Peter Kenyon has her story.
