Iran has scrapped its morality police units after more than two months of protests triggered by the arrest and custodial death of Mahsa Amini for allegedly violating the country’s strict female dress code, ISNA news agency reported.
“Morality police have nothing to do with the judiciary” and have been abolished, Attorney General Mohammad Jafar Montazeri said.
Protests erupted across Iran shortly after the September 16 death of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old woman who was arrested by the country’s morality police in Tehran for alleged non-compliance with a mandatory dress code.
