A state media company, nonetheless, 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 to this point.
The information of a possible shift within the nation’s strict rules in opposition to girls had been taking as an enormous win after months of protests following the dying of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in September, who died because of accidents she sustained whereas being detained in September.
There has been large protests and civil unrest each there in Iran and elsewhere around the globe as folks rallied collectively to point out solidarity for Iranian girls within the wake of Amini’s passing.
