The Running Battle: Marathon Runners Challenge Mandatory Dress Code on Kish Island

The judicial response to the public display was immediate and uncompromising, signalling the central government’s determination to quell any further erosion of its mandatory dress code laws. Within a day of the event, warrants were issued, and two of the primary organizers were arrested. One of the detained individuals was identified as a high-ranking official within the Kish Free Zone organization, while the other was associated with the private company responsible for putting on the race. This action was not merely an administrative penalty; the arrests involved formal charges and judicial supervision measures, illustrating the seriousness with which the state viewed the organizational failure to uphold the sanctity of the Islamic dress code.
