Iran resumes infamous 'morality police' to enforce mandatory hijab law
Iran's infamous hijab police, known as "morality police," are again patrol the streets, Iranian authorities said.
LONDON -- Iran's infamous hijab police, known as the "morality police," are again patrolling the streets, Iranian authorities said.
The controversial measure was announced Sunday along with a series of other severe actions that are being taken against women just 10 months after the death of Mahsa Amini in police custody, an event that sparked bloody nationwide protests.
"The police … will take legal action against those who, unfortunately, continue to break the dressing norms regardless of the consequences of doing so," said Saeed Montazer al-Mahdi, spokesman of the Law Enforcement Force of the Islamic Republic.
I think everyone more or less was expecting it to all be a lie when they announced they were disbanding the morality police a few months ago.
With all their "uprisings" the Iranian people never finish the job, and that's why, just like the Russians, Chinese, and the North Koreans, they will continue to get what they allow to govern them, the bitch of it is, how mush all their countries threaten the entire world with the same madness
It took France about a century before they went full Republic. I'd give the folks in Iran some latitude.
Note that the hijab thing was the last straw, and they're still going without functional infrastructure.
I suspect the molotovs will resume flyong shortly. They are already on a short fuse.
Yeah I really don't like the "they're not finishing the job" comments. To me it's kind of equivalent to victim blaming; it's really despicable to blame citizens for not putting their life at risk when you don't know their current circumstances.
Don't get me wrong, bigger protests are probably needed, but the blame is not imo. This is not some ordinary action.
