After the death of Mahsa Amini, which triggered a wave of proposals that have been carried out for three months, the attorney general of Iran, Mohammad Jafar Montazeri, declared that the moral police in that country could be dismantled.
Apparently, the strict dress code that forced women to wear the hijab It has been put on hold, since many women have been seen walking the streets without wearing the mandatory veil.
This December 3, Mohammad Jafar Montazeri was at a religious conference when he was asked if this organization would be dismantled.
The morality police have nothing to do with the judiciary and have been closed from the place where they were established.
In addition, Montazeri spoke about the importance of reviewing in the Iranian Parliament the law that requires women to wear the veil on a mandatory basis.
We are working fast on the ‘hijab’ issue and are doing our best to find a thoughtful solution to deal with this phenomenon that hurts everyone’s heart.
However, after Montazeri’s remarks, the Iranian media has been quick to report that his comments were misinterpreted, as no official has officially confirmed that the morality police have been shut down.
Meanwhile, the protests in Iran continue and seem to have no end. This December 5 began another three-day national strike, called by the protesters. In response, the head of Iran’s judiciary, Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei, ordered anyone who encourages the strike or intimidating shopkeepers to force them to close their shops to be arrested.
