Tehran - Ten billiards clubs found to have been allowing mixed-sex games have
been closed down in the Iranian capital, the Jam-e Jaam newspaper reported on
Saturday.
The paper said the clubs, shut down last week, had been caught
breaking the Islamic republic's strict rules on gender segregation late at
night.
Snooker, billiards and pool clubs have only recently been opening
in Iran, after a ban on the pastime was lifted. But the games remain banned in
two of the country's 28 provinces, on the grounds that they could lead to
gambling.
