Iran Bans Valentine Day

ANTI-VALENTINES DAY PROTEST IN PAKISTAN

"THE REGIME'S POSTURE TURNS THE SMALLEST GESTURES INTO THRILLING ACTS OF SUBVERSION," SAYS MELIK HAYLAN.

As Melik Haylan writes in the Wall Street Journal, Iran has banned Valentine's Day in their pursuit against opposite sexes mixing without permission.

"Symbols of hearts, half-hearts, red roses, and any activities promoting this day are banned," announced state media last month. "Authorities will take legal action against those who ignore the ban."

Haylan writes that the majority of the Iranian population is under 30 years old, which explains the following of the lovers' holiday. Unfortunately, the state won't accept any reference to western culture and is adamantly enforcing its ban on St. Valentines day.
