Iran government bowed down to nationwide protests, abolished Morality police

Tehran :

Following two months of nationwide anti-hijab protests in the country following the death of Mehsa Amini, the Iranian government has taken a major decision and decided to disband the country’s morality police. Local media gave this information on Sunday. Please tell that 22-year-old Mahsa died in custody after being arrested by the Morality police in Tehran. After this, many demonstrations were seen all over Iran. Mehsa was arrested for violating the country’s strict women’s dress code.

News agency ISNA quoted Attorney General Mohammad Zafar Montazari as saying, “Morality police have nothing to do with the judiciary. It has been abolished.” According to the report, the Attorney General’s remarks came in response to a religious conference where a participant had asked why the morality police were being shut down? Known as Gasht-e Ershad, it was founded during the tenure of Iran’s hardline President Mehmood Ahmadinejad to promote the culture of the hijab. More than 300 people were killed in the protests that began in Iran on September 16 after the death in custody of Mahsa Amini.

Not only this, more than 14,000 people were arrested during the anti-hijab protests. Many activists and experts in Iran termed these protests as a national revolution and described it as the biggest challenge for the Iranian government.
