BEIRUT, Lebanon – Iran's police have banned the use of curvaceous female mannequins and the sale of Western-inspired clothing in an effort to preserve morality.

"Displaying and supplying Western brands or items with cheap designs is forbidden in stores," the Information and Public Security Police said Tuesday in a statement addressed to the head of Tehran's clothing retailers' group, the Fars news agency reported.
