Iranian women are being sexually assaulted, tasered and beaten by Tehran’s “morality police” in a fresh crackdown on those flouting the country’s strict dress codes.

Multiple videos posted online show women being bundled into the back of vehicles for infractions as minor as wearing a coat that is too short or too colourful.
