Another member of parliament went so far as to propose her abolition of the moral police. “I believe that due to the ineffectiveness of Gast-e-Ershad to pass the culture of hijab, this unit should be abolished so that the children of this country will not be afraid when they meet it,” Moinodin Saidi said.

For the Organization for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Corruption, an organization linked to the Iranian state, “we must stop arresting and extraditing people who don’t wear the headscarf properly because it results in exacerbating social tensions. The law needs to be amended to make it just a misdemeanor.”
