The unit that monitors women’s clothing in Iran — the so-called morality police — has been suspended following months of protests.
The unrest was sparked by the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in September, after being arrested for allegedly violating a dress code.
Al Jazeera’s @Dorsa Jabbari reports from Tehran, Iran.

There is no moral when you beat woman just because she don’t wear a hijab…. Like woman beat men because they don’t have a beard or don’t wear a cap 🤣…
All hail rapistan
Just makes ya want to give those men a really good THUMPING.
I believe, as the video says, it is really translated as guidance patrol. Now i have heard of the term vice squad, in u.s. Is that similar?
Morality polic also for man
@arsalan No. The morality police allow criminals to hold the power in Iran, that is their true and only function.
Too late. We don’t want them
Regime change for iran
no way. we want a stable iran with gradual change.
@Tim Timtoo We can hold a referendum
Jaljeera feeling sad
In qatar they need to suspend the whole government/monarchy then 😂
But the Qatari people don’t care because their govt made them rich.
So sad Al Fakira
What is your justification for child marriage

@Dominic Deen that’s arshaq’s point! Who knows? Haters pushing lies all the time!
I don’t rate Mohamed. By most accounts he was a nasty tyrant and he was into imperialistic conquest.
@Ramin Khajavi Religion empowers wrong-doers to do more wrongs. I sometimes think religion is nothing but an elaborate excuse to do evil.
@Dominic Deen Religious preachers are always bloated with falsehoods in my experience, regardless of their supposed ‘faith’.
@Chris Viking good observation! Problem is not religion, or what people believe in, but when evil deeds are committed in the name of fill in the blank. In the name of the good God a common excuse! A double, triple sin! If religion does not make one tolerant, then missing the main point, and need to take a break from religion, drink a good German beer!
Please stop focusing on hijab and spreading islamic republic propaganda!! Our problem is forced confessions,lies, dictatorship,not having freedom of choice and democracy.the remove morality police but continue using cameras to punish nonhijabis by paying money to regime…they say we educate islamic laws but it means forced ideologis and brainwashing people
Internet is still filter im using vpns
Morality 😆 🤣 😂 😹
I believe as the video says, really translated as guidance patrol. Like a vice squad?
@Ramin Khajavi Doesn’t matter. Same thing.
@Parsian yes, i don’t like it. They were like that since day 1 of the revolution! I have heard of the term vice squad in u.s. also.
@Ramin Khajavi But these women aren’t prostitutes.
Morality is an illusion, all that matters is fundamental truth. A Mullah will clean the outside of his bowl til it glimmers and shines, whilst leaving the inside dirty. In other words, they will torture the human spirit, especailly of others, in order to look outwardly pure, when they should prioritize the spirit instead.
What’s interesting is that when many Iranian women visit my city, the first thing they do is remove the veil, put on a sleeveless top, and somecwear shorts?.
Our protest was not about morality police at the first place😑😑😑
@Ramin Khajavi We wish Iranians all the best, but be careful that your enemies don’t hijack your protest like they did in Libya.
@tunxlaw true. However it is to the regime advantage to give the people freedom. More money from tourism, more popular support.
@Ramin Khajavi Your argument is logical however the regime only cares about self preservation.
@Ramin Khajavi i heard that it was started by communist but then later got hijacked by the khamainis and his followers
@tunxlaw yes that’s my point. If they keep their religious laws in their mosques and homes, they will have more self preservation as u say
We need these Police in Australia.
We dont
When will Hindus of India grant the hijab wearing rights to Indian muslim womens in school also?
@Ramin Khajavi Muslim countries me other religion ko logo ko kitni freedom milti hai bs khud k liye chahiye but dusre k liye nhi hypocrisy ki bhi seema hoti hai
@n India was originally filled with Buddhists. So why don’t you leave the country too and let Buddhists live there?
@Ramin Khajavi brother I accept India or Iran girl wish ..I said inside class room .. I shouldn’t cover your face ..you can cover head…
I would say the problem is that women, and young girls in particular, if given the ‘choice’ will in fact be pressured and bullied into ‘choosing’ a certain outcome.
@Chris Viking yess but nobody will understand that
We want regime change! Nothing less! The regime must go and the criminals pay for their crimes!
Imagine if
ZOROASTRIAN
Still strive in Iran.
Where it derived from.
But the people chose to Islam.
How many people have died in Iran
Over Islam?
@arshaq at least less bad than the occupiers did
@bro jwz2 not really rape and murder not less than anything else.
I don’t think they got to choose!
@Abel Radebe If you hate democracy then go away! You have no right to a free say if you wish to deny that right to others.
@Chris Viking democracy has been used by powerful countries against smaller countries to kill its citizens and steal their resources in the name of freedom we all have seen this evil horrible satanic act in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria,libya and Vietnam and the list goes on and on and on and on.
The problem is the Islam itself not the people. Islam is the Devil’s religion because Islam teaches to kill innocent people.
I like governments where women aren’t treated as property.
No duh! Conservatives take over by force and make rules for everyone else. Religion a common excuse, like to clamp down in chaos of revolution 79.
You mean Mars?
@Sharukh Saifi except UAE
ALL Arab nations
The way Islam treats women is inexcusable. I know some may choose to be treated like that, but then let them choose.
I don’t believe mullahs to give up mandatory hijab, it’s their way to create horror and terror for their political gains. They will bring it back in some other forms.
Hundreds of our treasures have to b killed for authorities to come to their senses and heed the people! Outrageous and unnecessary! Big mistake by regime not to uplift Iran with their own original revolutionary demand of freedom. Put ladies first and everything will be fine. Keep religious laws in the mosques and your homes. Open Iran for freedom and tourism. Neither east nor west! Neither north nor south (saudis)!
When A Crowd of Women can make Dictators TREMBLE….
no one is trembling. you watch too many zio global channels.
@Tim Timtoo why defend tyranny?
you see, people can over throw stupid goverments. well done to all the people in Iran.
Don’t get them too much credit. Iran just has not acted like Assad. They easily could.
Why hijab is always the issue even in non-muslim countries?
Control by those making rules for everyone. Let the ladies choose, decide, and bloom! Long live liberty!
It’s about control.
I’m in awe at Iranians’ strength, courage, and sacrifice of their lives for this big step. 💪
great news
Your grave you answer yourself. Others must not force upon you. Just educate.
The Iranian government is doing just fine
At carrying out despicable evil!
IRANIANS FORGET THE HISTORY OF 1979. AND ALSO FORGET THE GENOCIDE OF REJA SHAH PALHABI.
@Hello There yes. But after revolution, police not secret anymore! Ladies forced to wear hijab and lost much of their freedoms they had b4 revolution
@Hello There AYATULLAH RUHULLAH KHAMENE GIVE THEM FREEDOM AND RIGHTS OF VOTE.
@THE CAPTAIN GENERAL Yeah to vote for guys he selects that are all the same and all answer to him.
Seem iranian population had opposite effect. They say 60% are non practising religious. Is it true or propaganda?
@Sami Zakariya 79 revolution population 35 million, now 80 million supposedly. World population from 5 and now 8 billion. So more younger people who want to party!
good step has taken by Iran
Im happy to see that the iranians are figuring out that their leaders and imams are filthy lying imposters
Persian womens wins !
Did he seriously say: “when you can’t enforce a law, eventually this law will be put aside”? 😂 OMFG Why not just run a flag up the pole to all thieves and murderers…
@Parsian what I am seeing is the western media maximalising its take on the situation as being a ‘totality’ when really, we are talking about a minority… who disagree… you don’t legalise murder because the minority of people who want to murder don’t want to be punished… even if the west murders with relative impunity…
@Parsian Malcolm X once said: “you do not take your crime to your criminal, you take your criminal to court”, I believe…
You have your free say on here, so would you deny others the same right?
@Chris Viking I’m not deny anything to anyone. I’m not the law of Iran. But I mean, deep aside, I own this. So, I mean, technically, like I can walk around with no pants on in my own house… ditto.
@Chris Viking More than that, neither am I, 1400 years of Islamic scholars or Mohammed… so, I mean, I know well enough to know that it’s not up to me. The issue he is stating however is that any law or order or right or wrong is disposable at the whim of violent protests… which, I mean, is an obvious jab at people who don’t conceive of morality as a duty and so, are likely to fall foul of the law..
Stop insulting us. We could care less!! We want the regime gone!!!!!
No we dont . we want a ban on plastic surgery and no mandatory hijab.
@Tim Timtoo ? How much irans regime pay you bangals to bid for them here??
Not enough, throw out the regime ASAP
Then kill each other .than steal their oil.
@MAYA CHAYAno need to kill , just use the professionals ,MOSSAD
When Iran made the Hijab mandatory in the 1980’s it was largely unknown practice in the Muslim world and ever since most of these countries followed suit hopefully now they can remove this law so that others can follow
“Largely unknown practice in the muslim world”!?! Hello?! Saudi Arabia!
@Ramin Khajavi Saudi removed the mandatory requirement for Hijab law a few years ago tho.
@TheAhadThatLaughs “a few years ago”. We are talking way before that!
@TheAhadThatLaughs and i believe they are still extremely strict. Get real!
Finally we all in 2022
Good job ❤❤
Suspension is not the same as being shut down. Bullies hate to have their power taken away and are probably waiting in the wings to get it back, but, the genie is out of the bottle. The fight is nowhere near over for the young though as they have to get their country back from the evil bastards that are running it right now.
Disband the Mullahs, remove the Ayatollahs from power.
Find the family of that morality police bets them up
Why beat family members that didn’t do anything? Punish the morality police instead.
The reason why they blame Western society-
That’s what happens when you let your civilization have internet access to a free country witnessing it’s society and slowly adopting it (youtube, facebook, Twitter etc).
Sooner or later they are going to get a taste of what freedom actually is. They now know what it’s like and they will fight for it and they will have support of the free world
*Iran🇮🇷 have islands dispute with UAE.*
make border agreement & peace!
To late!
If men are meant to look away from women, how can a morality police-“man” even exist.. It is redundant.. I consider myself an observant Muslim and believe inculcating moral values starts at the family and home.
You can’t trust the ayatollah they will do whatever in order to survive.
Like all authoritarian nutjobs he will surely cling to power no matter what.
64% should work on 60%.Otherwise 2.5%.
The policemen are so barbaric pulling the woman. I see the women still wear proper dress code. Why do you have to force women wearing hijab? Iranian rules are the modern hypocrite Pharisees.
The people of Iran rise
women!!! you have right to wear what you want, take off hijab, you are not animals. resist to Iranian government, you can travel alone, you can have a job you want like another European, South American, Asian countries. go Iranian women~~
Women would never be safe anywhere unless men behave themselves. The places that you mentioned, women get harassed there too. It’s time for men to clean up their acts and stop their fellow men from doing despicable things towards women.
A brave woman is the crown of a husband,
but shameless is like the decay of his bones.
AL JAZEERA IS PRO HIJAB😛
You must be the modi lover.forcing pepole to wear hijab and forcing pepole to remove it both are the same thing.i am sure you know it but you are trying to spread your propoganda
Fake news. Nothing to see here but misdirection from the Islamic regime.
Mass protest and strikes are the real news they’re distracting you from.

To understand iran one must understand persia. Islam is borrowed cult thrown upon intelligent and progressive iranian /persian people
𝗔𝗻𝘁𝗶-𝗭𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗺 𝗶𝘀 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗔𝗻𝘁𝗶-𝗦𝗲𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗺..
The way the Israelis treat the Palestinians is not only a disgrace but also an insult to the victims of the Holocaust..
Iran appears to be a deep country,hundreds of thousands lying dead in the name of islam, their graves still in existence,clerics displaying respect for freedom of expression,same as when lions give freedom of expression to jackals or zebras, when mice are allowed to play by cat then cat is not in mood of eating them but cat may be happy to look at his ample food, this is the time of enjoying by cat in the resting hour,Religion, ethics, right, wrong, halal, haram, concerns, respect, values are terms related to men who sacrifice all life in service of Allah & have less average life span than women
What a pathetic ideology needing force and violence in order to be followed by people.
Showing hair is haram but touching women and harassing them is very halal? Those dudes were just power tripping over the women. They don’t care about Islam. Islam urges people not to force religion upon anyone. Those “morality police” don’t even follow the rules of Islam. Smh.
Some times Islam don’t follow it’s on rules
Forget about Islam. What does the fundamental truth say?
Just wait for news saying ‘ suspended moral police working in more intensity ‘ going viral and people accepting it
That is religious apartheid. I am happy that Bahrain has relationship with Israel. ❤️🇮🇱🇧🇭❤️
Islamic morality is an oxymoron.
Would you say that about Christianity and Judaism? They are all the same monotheistic branch of religion!
@Ramin Khajavi To a lesser extent yes.
@Chris Viking the Abrahamic religions are based on morality. Do unto others as you would like to b done to u, the golden rule.
Nothing was suspended as the Islamic republic broadcasting denied the suspension a few hours later.
moreover, the Sharia Law is still in place and they can enforce women by other means.
Shame on Journalism’s work like these. absolutely disgusting doin dirty work for regim while people of iran risk their lives everyday.
Remember: Iranians stabbed their feet themselves, now iranian regime will use other accuses such as corruption and spying for Israel and will kill, punish and discriminate liberal Iranians.
And we support that .
The Iranian people should be careful of what they’re protesting for. The Western standards/culture that they’re seeking is not all milk and honey. Nothing good have come out of the Arab Spring, all the countries that have abandoned their cultures for Western lifestyle are now suffering. We can’t all be the same, sameness is boring. Some cultures are just destined to require a strong centralized leadership to keep the peace amongst the various tribes/sub-cultures within their respective country. The Western way will never be the ways of Iran, China nor Russia.
Didn’t they already not wearing head wrap a long time ago?
Go and live in Iran for a year. You change your mind. They cut hands. Stone women. Men can have 4 wives. If you change your religion you must be killed. Women cannot be judges. They inherit half men. Their blood money us half etc.
@Blair L. yes, before 79 revolution it was choice and women had more freedoms
The west comes from the east! Liberty is a human, natural, gift from God. Let our flowers bloom. Put the ladies first and everything will b fine. Not an insult to Islam, but God’s will! Commiting evil deeds in the name of the good God is double, triple sin. Keep religious laws in your own mosques and homes. “Keep your religion in your closet” Haji Malik al Shabbaz Malcolm X
“If i can’t dance, then i don’t want your revolution.” Emma Goldman
Open up Iran for tourism. Clean bathrooms everywhere, go vegetarian, ban private cars in cities, protect the forests, waters, animals, children, air. Ban all pesticides. Long live lady liberty! Men sit aside!
secular humanist standards* you were saying?
no, this is fake news. check your news sources!
It’s a lie . Don’t believe them . Don’t believe islamic republic and mollas . They always lie . About everything. We hate them . They will going down soon . Don’t believe them it’s a biiiig lie .
This Journalist on Al Jazeera needs to talk off their hijabs on support women in Iran
What is the gurantee that, women who won’t wear hijab are not punished from now on?
Religion less state and Religion less symbols is what is needed. Religion means belief, belief is based in morality, morality needs a decision X – right and Y – wrong or vice versa, what is the gurantee and who is the authority and why should I believe Guarantor and Authority at the first place? Every Religion has it’s own justification, stating that the Religion what it is propagating is the truth, but fact is every Religion approach is different and destination is different.
PS: Hence friends let’s be seekers and not believers, Almighty willing._ds
Al-Jazeera supports mullahs. Hejab still compulsory in Iran. Gatar really treated iran opposition very badly during world cup.
They never interview Iranian oppositions like Masih Alinejad but interview Irainan government lobbiest like NIAC in USA.
In recent months, many Iranians have been imprisoned and sentenced to execute for opposing the government. Abolishing the morality police is not the main demand of Iranians, but we want a regime change in Iran. As a media outlet, please focus on supporting the prisoners. Wishing the Iranian people victory and freedom.
Woman Life Freedom
We need more.
this video wants to tell that all these protest are because of hijab and people got what they wanted. don’t trust the info from this channel it’s not a realistic picture from iran
Pest Sticky Pads Trap
Iran will not let this saudi incursion into Iranian affairs go unpunished. So you better be ready bin salman
Terrorrist exporting country Qatar and terrorrism media aljazeera both r crying 🤣🤣
Desperately, women want to break the shackles of community and make her self comfy, no one has rights to tell women, what she should look, and think
من به همه ایرانیان شجاع و سرافراز ادای احترام می کنم. ایران کشوری زیبا با فرهنگی منحصر به فرد است و سزاوار آزادی بیشتری است. درود از جمهوری چک
don’t lie favorite news cast of child killer gameneee
Because they are now wearing Military Uniforms and Attacking and Unalive Young People in the Streets.
Now disband the mullahs. It still sounds sinister to me, as if they will simply enslave women by some other means. Iranian mullahs have little understanding of right and wrong and should be removed from authority.
Ayatollahs are lying again. They are still killing and arresting girls.
Hey Aljazeera.. where are the news of protesters executions? In Islam a burka worth more than citizens life.
The thing is that Iran Ayatollah acuses Europe, USA, of their own sins and injustice.. In Islam is easy to lie without conscience, without remorse.. This is Islam..
