Female Plaintiff`s Battle to Get a Motorcycle License Exposes Arbitrary Restrictions on Women in Iran
(Payvand Iran News)

In response to a complaint by a woman from the city of Isfahan, Branch 1 of Iran`s Administrative Justice Court ruled that the traffic police`s refusal to issue motorcycle driving licenses to women is unlawful. However, due to Article 60 of the Administrative Justice Court`s Organizational and Regulatory Procedures Law, the ruling, which could be reversed, only applies to the individual plaintiff and not all women in the country. -CHRI
