Iranians Skeptical That Morality Police Actually Disbanded After Surprise Announcement
Skepticism is growing that the government of Iran has disbanded its feared morality police, after widespread weekend reports said Tehran took the drastic measure as a compromise in order to appease and soften the still raging ‘anti-hijab’ protest movement.
Iranian Attorney General Mohammad Jafar Montazeri suggested the change was made on Saturday, however this “announcement” that the morality police has been disbanded remained ultra-vague, leading to confusion and rising skepticism.
