Iran’s attorney general, Mohammad Jafar Montazeri, has announced that the competent authorities have abolished the morality police, the Isna news agency reported on Sunday.
“The moral police have nothing to do with the judiciary and it was abolished by those who created it,” he said late Saturday in the holy city of Qom.
Iranian authorities had already opened the door to changes to the country’s imposed dress code by asking the courts and parliament on Saturday to review the law on mandatory veiling.
A way to find a way out of the numerous protests that have taken place in recent weeks in the country, after the death of Mahsa Amini. This young Iranian Kurdish woman disappeared last September three days after her arrest for violating the dress code of the Islamic Republic, which obliges women in particular to wear a headscarf.
