SHOCK U-TURN Iran ABOLISHES morality police after two months of violent hijab protests with 200 killed in bloody unrest.

IRAN has scrapped its controversial morality police after months of deadly protests, it is understood.

Riots erupted across the country following the death of Mahsa Amini, who was arrested in the capital Tehran and beaten by cops for not complying with Iran's strict hijab laws.

It is understood the 22-year-old died in custody on September 16 after being left in a coma by the regime's morality police.

Public outrage over Mahsa's death turned into a bloodbath - with at least 200 people killed in violent riots, according to a top state security body.

Mahsa was beaten by morality police after being arrested in the capital Tehran for not complying with tough hijab laws.

She was allegedly detained for having some hair visible under her headscarf - which Iranian women are legally required to wear.

have been sparked nationwide following her death as thousands of fed-up citizens rally against the harsh laws.

Female rioters have burned hijabs in the street and shared videos of themselves tearing off their scarves.

The demonstrations are one of the boldest challenges to the clerical leadership since the 1979 revolution.

But after weeks of unrest, it is understood Iran will now get rid of morality cops.

"Morality police have nothing to do with the judiciary" and have been abolished, Attorney General Mohammad Jafar Montazeri was quoted as saying by the ISNA news agency.

His comment came at a religious conference where he responded to a participant who asked "why the morality police were being shut down", the report said.

The morality police - known formally as the "Guidance Patrol" - were established under hardline president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, to "spread the culture of modesty and hijab", the female head covering.

The units began patrols in 2006.
It comes as Iran reviews its decades-old hijab laws.

Montazeri said that "both parliament and the judiciary are working (on the issue)" of whether the law requiring women to cover their heads needs to be changed.

President Ebrahim Raisi said in televised comments Saturday that Iran's republican and Islamic foundations were constitutionally entrenched "but there are methods of implementing the constitution that can be flexible".

It comes after Iran's national football team stayed silent as the country's national anthem played out before their opening World Cup match against England.

The starting 11 players refused to sing in an apparent show of support for protesters back home.

Iranian fans in the Qatari stadium were moved to tears by the incredible gesture as massive protests continue to sweep the Islamic Republic.

The will of the people will always prevail. Whenever Nigerians is ready to take over their country, they should read about Iranian women protest.

The problem with sympathising with a Shia moozlem is that when their oppressors let go of them,they will resume their normal "death to America".
Not supposed to be my problem but in future it will likely graduate to "death to Igbo man or death to all Christians".
The ones in zoogeria are a case study

Omor! see the damsel wey this people kill. Arabs are beautiful Sha it's just their extreme devastating beliefs and practice because of their religion that makes them look ugly.

Arabs is as beautiful as Indians and have a beautiful heart if you come close to them. It's just that they cover all the time usually isolate themselves from so called Infidels because of the sin they still end up committing rampantly.

The day Islam realises that heaven is not a do or die affair and accept Christ that's is the day the would find peace. But it's impossible for the believe has eaten deep into their soul.

PS: Just airing out my opinion. Quote me with negative remarks and get ignored.

Iran has to ease down on this veil issue stuff. Women don't want to cover the head, OK, this does not mean they are not Muslim.
Women are not obliged to cover their heads in Morocco, Algeria, Egypt, Guinea, etc. and skies are not falling in those countries, Islam is still strong there. So what is the issue?
