Shafaq New/ Iran has officiallydisbanded its morality police, which enforced the country’s mandatory hijablaws, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf announced.
Qalibaf confirmed that the revisedlaw eliminates the "Guidance Patrols", but he emphasized that hijablaws remain in effect, according to local media. The amendments, he said, aimto change enforcement methods and foster public consensus on the issue.
The decision follows years of publicdefiance against hijab mandates, particularly after the 2022 death of MahsaAmini in police custody, which sparked mass protests and internationalcondemnation, pressuring the government to modify its approach.
In February 2025, a woman in Mashhadstaged a dramatic demonstration, undressing and climbing onto a police car toprotest dress code enforcement. Her act followed the December passage of theChastity and Hijab Law, which introduced harsher penalties for violations.
Human rights organizations havedenounced Iran’s continued enforcement of hijab laws. Human Rights Watchcriticized the legislation for introducing severe punishments, including fines,imprisonment, and even the death penalty for repeat offenders. AmnestyInternational described the law as an effort to "suppress opposition tocompulsory veiling."
A United Nations report revealedthat Iran has expanded electronic surveillance, using drones and facialrecognition technology to monitor compliance, raising global humanrights concerns.
