Iran’s ‘morality police’ return as authorities enforce hijab rule
Tehran, Iran – Iran has relaunched patrols by the so-called morality police as authorities escalate their efforts to enforce the country’s mandatory hijab rules. The morality police would “issue warnings and then introduce to the judicial system people who unfortunately insist on their norm-breaking behaviour without concern for the consequences of their covering that is outside of the norm”, he was quoted as saying by state media. Montazeralmahdi said police expect everyone to conform to accepted dress codes so officers will have more time to deal with “other vital police missions”. The authorities released a video which showed who appeared to be a group of police officers – accompanied by a camera crew – go around and tell women of all ages to fix their hijab.
