Iran Shock Its Citizens by Banning Valentine's Day Celebration
Posted by Thandiubani on Sun 14th Feb, 2016 - tori.ngThe Iranian government has shocked its citizens by proclaiming a ban on Valentine's Day celebration as no stores are allowed to sell gifts and cards.
The spoilsports in Iran have banned Valentine’s Day because it supports ‘decadent Western culture’.
The government has said that businesses are not to sell the kinds of gifts or cards usually exchanged on 14 February, and restaurants and coffee shops should ‘avoid any gatherings in which boys and girls exchange Valentine’s Day gifts.’
The announcement follows last month’s prohibition of the word ‘wine’ and even the names of some ‘foreign animals.’
‘Symbols of hearts, half-hearts, red roses, and any activities promoting this day are banned.
‘Authorities will take legal action against those who ignore the ban,’ state media said this week.
