The Iranian (Im)Morality Police Chief’s Naked Ambition

“A man is nude with six naked prostitutes?”

“Quick, call the police chief.”

“He’s what?”

Tehran’s police chief, Reza Zarei, has been arrested after he was found nude in a local brothel with six naked prostitutes, the Farda news website reported Wednesday.

Zarei stepped down from his post following the raid, the report said. According to another popular Iranian website, Gooya, the order to raid the brothel was given directly by Ayatollah Mahmoud Hashemi Shahroudi, chief of the judicial authorities.

Over the past year Zarei was in charge of enforcing the Islamic dress code on Iranian women with the purpose of “moralizing of the city.”

It is alleged that in the past six months, hundreds of young people have been arrested in Iran for not respecting the Islamic code of behavior.

Rumors of the brothel incident had been spreading in Iran for the past two weeks, and last week Zarei was replaced after four years as chief of police in Tehran.

The arrest was not reported by any of Iran’s official news agencies. Farda News, which broke the story, is a website said to be close to the mayor of Tehran and former chief of the police forces, Mohammed Bagher Qalibaf and is considered reliable.

Sweet.

I feel some limericks coming on..

There once was a man named Zarei

Who was really in quite a hurry

That’s why he shtupped six

Gals who turned tricks

The Mullahs’ favor he better fast curry

There once was a man named Reza

Who was quite the horny geezer

The six whores he had bedded

Will likely get him beheaded

Who does he think he is? Elliot Spitzer?
