(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, December 4. The activity of
the 'morality police' in Iran has been terminated due to not
belonging to the country's judicial system, Attorney-General of
Iran Mohammad Jafar Montazeri said, trend reports referring to Iranian Media.
Montazeri emphasized that of course, Iran's Judicial System will
continue to control the behavior in the country.
The protests in Iranian cities are ongoing, prompted by the
death of a 22-year-old Iranian woman Mahsa Amini, allegedly after
being beaten by Iran's morality police while in custody for
violating the strict hijab-wearing rules. Amini's death on
September 16 triggered mass protests in Iran several days
later.
Hijab was made mandatory for women in Iran shortly after the
country's 1979 revolution. Women who break the strict dress code
risk being arrested by Iran's morality police. Based on the dress
code, women are required to fully cover their hair in public and
wear long, loose-fitting clothes.
After the mentioned incident, a wave of protests has taken place
in Iran, and the protests now cover various fields, economy, social
inequality, ethnic inequality, etc.
