A state media company, nevertheless, refuted this … suggesting Montazeri had spoken out of flip, and that any disbandment of the morality police falls underneath the jurisdiction of the inside ministry — not the judiciary or parliament. No official phrase from that division thus far.
The information of a possible shift within the nation’s strict rules towards ladies have been taking as an enormous win after months of protests following the demise of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in September, who died because of accidents she sustained whereas being detained in September.
There has been huge protests and civil unrest each there in Iran and elsewhere around the globe as folks rallied collectively to point out solidarity for Iranian ladies within the wake of Amini’s passing.
Amini is alleged to not have been sporting a head scarf correctly, which is when Guidance Patrol officers approached and tried to get her to place it on absolutely. This concern’s been a longstanding one, and now it appears to be reaching a boiling level — assuming Iran will truly budge.
