The abolition of the moral police by the competent authorities, announced the Attorney General of Iran, Mohammad Jafar Montazeri, as reported by the Isna agency. However, the announcement of its dissolution moral police in Iranwhich caused the wave demonstrations that deals with the Islamic Republic for more than two and a half months, it was ignored today by the conservative press alone four newspapers who are close to the reformers had her at front page.
Iran’s Attorney General Mohammad Jafar Montazeri made the announcement Saturday night at a news conference held from Qom, the Shiite holy city to the west of Tehranthat “the moral police (…) was abolished by those who created it”.
This announcement appears to be a gesture of goodwill towards them protesterswho are taking to the streets to express their anger after death of 22-year-old Iranian Kurdish origin Makhsa Amini on September 16, three days after she was arrested by the morality police for not wearing her headscarf properly.
However, of the newspapers published today in Iran, only four that are close to the reformers report the end of this religious police that was established in the early 2000s to “spread the culture of the decency of the Islamic headscarf.”
“Following 80 days of protests caused by the morality policethe general prosecutor announces its abolition”, writes the pro-reform newspaper Sazantegi, under the title “the end of the moral police”.
Sark, another outlet close to the reformers, expresses doubts: “Is this the end of the patrols?”, the newspaper asks on its front page, referring to the patrols aimed at respecting the dress code of the Islamic Republic, which mainly obliges women to wear headscarves. “While o attorney General declared that the moral police was abolished, the police public relations service refused to confirm its abolition,” Sark underlines, reports the Athens and Macedonian News Agency.
Asked by the newspaper by phone for a reaction to the prosecutor general’s announcement, Colonel Ali Sabahi, the head of public relations for the Tehran police, replied: “Don’t even mention that you called us. This is not the right time for these kinds of discussions (…) and the police will speak when will be the right one».
Doubt is also expressed by the newspaper Arman Meli, also close to the reformers, which was published under the title: “Is this the end of the moral police?”.
“A change in favor of women?” the Ham Meehan newspaper also wonders. “The judicial authority made a statement, but no other authority announced the disbandment of the moral police,” the paper, which is also close to the reformers, underlined.
