Women martyrs

There is a monument to the women martyrs of the "Islamic" revolution in the Behest Madaran Park in Tehran. Appropriatley it is in the women only section of the park where women can take off their hijabs and wander safely behind high fences without "exciting the men" and leading them astray.

So how then did I get this photo? Did I send Mrs H in to take it, or did I put on a chador and wander in myself? No I just walked in because it was Friday which counts as a family day when men and women can visit each other's section of the park.
