Iran will suspend its “morality police” after three months of nationwide demonstrations, the country’s Prosecutor-General Mohammad Jafar Montazeri declared on Sunday.
The official said the patrol “had nothing to do with the judiciary” and that the “police have been shut down from where they were set up,” according to the BBC.
The protests were sparked by the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini who was arrested in Tehran for “improperly” wearing the hijab. According to witnesses, her arresting officers brutally beat her, after which she fell into a coma and eventually died.
