💭 Iran to disband morality police amid ongoing protests, says attorney general
Iran’s morality police, which is tasked with enforcing the country’s Islamic dress code, is being disbanded, the country’s attorney general says.
Mohammad Jafar Montazeri’s comments, yet to be confirmed by other agencies, were made at an event on Sunday.
Iran has seen months of protests over the death of a young woman in custody.
Mahsa Amini had been detained by the morality police for allegedly breaking strict rules on head coverings.
Mr Montazeri was at a religious conference when he was asked if the morality police was being disbanded.
“The morality police had nothing to do with the judiciary and have been shut down from where they were set up,” he said.
Control of the force lies with the interior ministry and not with the judiciary.
On Saturday, Mr Montazeri also told the Iranian parliament the law that requires women to wear hijabs would be looked at.
Even if the morality police is shut down this does not mean the decades-old law will be changed.
Women-led protests, labelled “riots” by the authorities, have swept Iran since 22-year-old Amini died in custody on 16 September, three days after her arrest by the morality police in Tehran.
Her death was the catalyst for the unrest but it also follows discontent over poverty, unemployment, inequality, injustice and corruption.
‘A revolution is what we have’
If confirmed, the scrapping of the morality police would be a concession but there are no guarantees it would be enough to halt the protests, which have seen demonstrators burn their head coverings.
“Just because the government has decided to dismantle morality police it doesn’t mean the protests are ending,” one Iranian woman told the BBC World Service’s Newshour programme.
“Even the government saying the hijab is a personal choice is not enough. People know Iran has no future with this government in power. We will see more people from different factions of Iranian society, moderate and traditional, coming out in support of women to get more of their rights back.”
Another woman said: “We, the protesters, don’t care about no hijab no more. We’ve been going out without it for the past 70 days.
“A revolution is what we have. Hijab was the start of it and we don’t want anything, anything less, but death for the dictator and a regime change.”
Iran has had various forms of “morality police” since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, but the latest version – known formally as the Gasht-e Ershad – is currently the main agency tasked enforcing Iran’s Islamic code of conduct.
They began their patrols in 2006 to enforce the dress code which also requires women to wear long clothes and forbids shorts, ripped jeans and other clothes deemed immodest.

😈 Barbaric acts to silence people in Iran. Security forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran firing live rounds against protesters at a train station in Tehran. Around 450 people have been killed. Bodies in the streets. People chanting in public places infuriates the regime.
The unrepentant Ayatollahs have jailed over 15,000 protesters, and it is believed that their executions have been ordered.
💭 My Note: Daring to touch The Biblical Ark of The Covenant will result in death at the hands of The Almighty God Egziabher.
On 28th November 2020 Muslim soldiers of Ethiopia, Eritrea and Somalia, armed and supported by Iran, UAE, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, China, Russia, Ukraine, USA, and Europe, went on the rampage in Axum, a Holy City in Ethiopia’s northern Tigray region, whose main church is believed by Ethiopian Orthodox Christians to hold The Biblical Ark of Covenant. Over the course of 24 hours, the Muslim soldiers went door to door summarily shooting unarmed young men and boys.
Some of the victims were as young as 13. The soldiers forbade residents from burying slain relatives and neighbors so the bodies lay rotting in the streets for days. Witnesses later described hearing hyenas come at night to feed on the dead.
🔥 Iranians seen setting fire to ancestral home of Islamic Republic founder Khomeini
In video footage, jubilant protesters march alongside the building as it’s engulfed by flames; hundreds protest against regime at boy’s funeral.
Protesters in Iran have set on fire the ancestral home of the Islamic Republic’s founder Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, two months into the anti-regime protest movement, images showed on Friday.
The house in the city of Khomein in the western Markazi province was shown ablaze late Thursday with crowds of jubilant protesters marching past, according to images posted on social media, verified by AFP.
“This year is the year of blood,” some were heard chanting, according to a report by the Dubai-based Arab news outlet Al Arabiya, adding that current Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei “will be toppled.”
Khomeini is said to have been born at the house in the town of Khomein — from where his surname derives — at the turn of the century.
He became a cleric deeply critical of the US-backed shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi, moved into exile but then returned in triumph from France in 1979 to lead the Islamic Revolution.
Khomeini died in 1989 but remains the subject of adulation by the clerical leadership under successor Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
The house was eventually turned into a museum commemorating Khomeini. It was not immediately clear what damage it sustained.
The protests sparked by the death of Mahsa Amini, who was arrested by the morality police, pose the biggest challenge from the street to Iran’s leaders since the 1979 revolution.
They were fuelled by anger over the obligatory headscarf for women originally imposed by Khomeini but have turned into a movement calling for an end to the Islamic Republic itself.
Images of Khomeini have on occasion been torched or defaced by protesters, in taboo-breaking acts against a figure whose death is still marked each June with a holiday for mourning.
💭 80-000 rally in Berlin in support of Iran protests

👉 The Ukraine war shows us:
😈 United by their Illuminist-Luciferian-Masonic-Satanist agendas The following Edomite-Ishmaelite entities and bodies are helping the genocidal fascist Oromo regime of evil Abby Ahmed Ali:
☆ The United Nations
☆ The European Union
☆ The African Union
☆ The United States, Canada & Cuba

☆ TPLF
💭 Even those nations that are one another enemies, like: ‘Israel vs Iran’, ‘Russia + China vs Ukraine + The West’, ‘Egypt + Sudan vs Iran + Turkey’, ‘India vs Pakistan’ have now become friends – as they are all united in the anti-Christian, anti-Zionist-Ethiopia-Conspiracy. This has never ever happened before it is a very curios phenomenon – a strange unique appearance in world history.
✞ With the Zionist Tigray-Ethiopians are:
❖ The Almighty Egziabher God & His Saints
❖ St. Mary of Zion
❖ The Ark of The Covenant
💭 Due to the leftist and atheistic nature of the TPLF, because of its tiresome, imported and Satan-influenced ideological games of: „Unitarianism vs Multiculturalism“, the Supernatural Force that always stood/stands with the Northern Ethiopian Christians is blocked – and These Celestial Powers are not yet being ‘activated’. Even the the above Edomite and Ishmaelite entities and bodies who in the beginning tried to help them have gradually abandoned them.
“Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. I tell you, the devil will put some of you in prison to test you, and you will suffer persecution for ten days. Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you life as your victor’s crown.”
💭 The unexpected and rare interruption on state television happened around 6 p.m. on the news. In the middle of a report, a photo of Iran’s supreme leader burning, suddenly appeared, with a target on his head
The hack was claimed by a group calling itself “Adalat Ali”, which means “Ali’s justice”. The group is protesting the police crackdown during the weeks-long protests that followed Amini’s death. On Saturday, three more protesters were shot dead. In Sanandaj, for example, a man was shot dead in his car when he honked in support of the protesters. A photo has been shared on social media of a woman lying unconscious on the ground after being shot in the neck in Mashrad. At least 200 people have been killed since the protests began, according to human rights groups.
☪ Iranian Women Burn Headscarves in Anti-Hijab Protests
Female protesters have been at the forefront of escalating protests in Iran
Women in Iran have been burning hijabs (headscarves) in protest of the death in custody of a woman who was detained by morality police for breaking hijab laws.
Protests broke out in western Iran on Saturday at the funeral of the young woman, Mahsa Amini, who died in hospital on Friday after spending three days in a coma.
Demonstrations have continued for five successive nights, and reached several towns and cities.
A large volume of people were seen cheering as women set their hijabs alight in defiant acts of protest in Tehran’s Sari.
Videos posted on social media showed protesters shouting anti-government slogans after gathering in Saqez, hometown of Mahsa. They came from nearby cities in Iran’s Kurdistan province to mourn the 22-year-old.
“Death to the dictator” – a reference to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, chanted the crowd, while some women took off their headscarves.
Police were seen firing tear gas and one man was shown on a video with an injury to the head that someone could be heard saying was caused by birdshot. Reuters could not authenticate the videos.
Protests spread to the provincial capital, Sanandaj and continued late into the night. Social media videos showed crowds chanting “Saqez is not alone, it’s supported by Sanandaj”. Marchers were seen confronting riot police amid the sound of sporadic gunfire. Other posted videos showed youths setting fire to tyres and throwing rocks at riot police across clouds of tear gas.
In recent months, rights activists have urged women to publicly remove their veils, a gesture that would risk their arrest for defying the Islamic dress code as the country’s hardline rulers crack down on “immoral behaviour”.
Videos posted on social media have shown cases of what appeared to be heavy-handed action by morality police units against women who had removed their hijab.
💭 My Note: Iran alongside the UAE, Turkey and China deliver drones the fascist and genocidal Oromo regime of Ethiopia.
Well, ✞The Ark of The Covenant is Transmitting a signal on a path to the EAST and to the WEST. Japan, China, Europe, America, Russia, Ukraine, Turkey, Iran and Arabia, STOP supporting the fascist Oromo regime of evil Abiy Ahmed Ali in Ethiopia. This brutal regime has massacred and starved to death over a million Ethiopian Christians of Tigray in under two years.
💭 Protests broke out in western Iran on Saturday at the funeral of a young woman who died after being detained by morality police enforcing strict hijab rules, as security forces used tear gas to disperse demonstrators.
Kurdish woman Mahsa Amini, 22, died after being violently arrested in Iran for violating the hijab rules of Iran.
A flood of reactions both inside and outside of Iran have followed the death of Mahsa Amini by the country’s religious police, aka guidance patrol.
Afghan social media users are sharing pictures of Mahsa, and in their comments, they are drawing comparisons between the Taliban and the Iranian morality police, a religious police force with a similar aim and track record.
Anti-government protests have been going on in Iran since yesterday. Protests in and around the hospital, on Arjantin Square in Tehran, at night from houses’ roofs, and in the cemetery have been reported by the local media.
“Death to the dictator” is chanted by the demonstrators in the videos that have been made public. In response to this “barbaric” murder, Iranian and Afghan artists have reacted, and both domestic and foreign political figures have denounced it.
Former Iranian parliament vice-speaker Ali Motahari stated to the Iranian Jamaran in response to the beating of Mahsa Amini, “Incidents like the case of Mahsa Amini portray us to the world like the Taliban.”
Among those who reacted to the Kurdish-Iranian woman’s death are two Afghan poets. Afghan poet Waheed Baktash wrote that “There is a corrupt and repressive government in our neighborhood that never stops killing its citizens.”
Kawa Jibran, intellectual, activist, poet, and writer of Afghanistan also condemned the actions of the Iranian morality police, writing, “The sick thought is an active killer when it enters society; it is a full-fledged monster that feeds on human blood under any pretense.”
