For example, he explained, “women who do not wear the hijab will first receive SMS notifications, then warnings and, in a third stage, their bank account may be blocked…”.
Jalali gave details of the alternative program being considered to enforce the veiling and chastity plan for women: instead of “moral police patrols.”
The official warned that there is no plan to eliminate the requirement that women wear the hijab, which has been in force since shortly after the establishment of the ayatollah regime. “There will be no withdrawal from the hijab plan, because that would mean the end of the Islamic Republic,” he explained.
For its part, Amnesty International said today that it had no hope that the disappearance of the Iranian Morale Police would improve the human rights situation, particularly that of women, in the country.
The “vague and contradictory” statements by the Iranian authorities about the “alleged dissolution of the so-called Morale Police should not mislead the international community about the continued violence against women” represented by the veil laws that remain in force in Iran. This was announced by the humanitarian NGO in a statement in which it highlighted that even after the statement by an Iranian magistrate on the dissolution of the morality police, not yet confirmed by the Islamic Republic, the obligation to wear a veil remains law.
“Until the day these regulations are removed, the same violence that resulted in Mahsa Amini’s arrest and death in custody will continue against millions of other women and girls,” said Middle East and North Africa Regional Director Heba Morayef.
Morayev thus referred to the death in September of the 22-year-old girl who had been arrested by the moral police for not wearing the headscarf correctly, a crime that continues to spark heated protests across the country.
