Reports about gangrapes are raising questions in Iran. A woman was abducted from a private party in Isfahan last month and gang raped at knife point.
One week later, a female university student was attacked and raped by unknown assailants on the heavily-guarded campus in Masshad.
Officials accused the victims of not wearing the hijab or headscarf in the proper fashion and general un-Islamic conduct.
These comments have lead to intensifying the debate with womensrightsorganizations who have long complained of the increasingly high rate of sexual harassment.
