Iran "disbands" morality police, attorney general's annoucement yet to be confirmed

Description

An Iranian lawmaker said Sunday that Iran's government is “paying attention to the people’s real demands”, state media reported, a day after a top official suggested that the country’s morality police whose conduct helped trigger months of protests has been shut down. The role of the morality police, which enforces veiling laws, came under scrutiny after a detainee, 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, died in its custody in mid-September. Amini had been held for allegedly violating the Islamic Republic’s strict dress codes. Her death unleashed a wave of unrest that has grown into calls for the downfall of Iran's clerical rulers. FRANCE 24's Bryan Quinn reports.
