Authorities in the northeastern Iranian Khorasan Razavi, which has been at the forefront of imposing restrictions on citizens' social lives, has barred women from practicing sports in city parks.
Alireza Tajfirouz, the provincial Director-General for Sports, announced on February 6 that women were now allowed to exercise in designated areas only.
In recent years officials in Khorasan Razavi have implemented their own laws and regulations in the social and political spheres.
ISNA news agency reported in August last year that the authorities had started removing outdoor seating areas from restaurants and cafés in the provincial capital, Mashhad.
