The Islamic State (IS) has imposed a strict dress code for women in eastern Syria, forbidding them from showing any part of their bodies, a monitoring group said on Thursday. Women... are completely forbidden from showing their eyes, said the statement, which the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said was distributed in IS-controlled areas of Deir Ezzor province in the east. Women are also forbidden from wearing open abayas (traditional black gowns) that reveal colourful clothes worn underneath, it said. Abayas, it added, must not be decorated with beads, sequins or anything else and women must not wear high heels. Anyone who violates this will be penalised, it added, without elaborating on the punishment.
