International Desk: Iran has decided to deploy the ‘controversial’ morality police on the streets again to enforce the mandatory accounting law. On Sunday (July 16), the spokesman of the country’s law and order forces, Saeed Montajeral Mahdi, gave this information.
Al Jazeera, a Qatar-based media outlet, says that women in Iran are required to wear hijab. There is also a law on this. If the law is not obeyed, the provision for punishment has also been kept. Iran’s law enforcement spokesman, Saeed Montazeral Mahdi, said the morality police will once again patrol on foot and by car.
They will observe whether the Hijab law is being obeyed or not. Failure to comply will result in a warning. Then the law will be informed. However, this time the moral police also got permission to arrest. The decision came 10 months after the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in the custody of the Morality Police.
The death of Mahsa Amini sparked anti-hijab protests in Iran. Many were arrested by the police. However, the movement gradually subsided.
