Iran Resumes Morality Police Patrols to Enforce Headscarf Law After Protests

Iranian authorities have launched a new campaign to enforce wearing of the Islamic headscarf following a hiatus due to nationwide protests.
The morality police will warn and detain women not adhering to the mandatory hijab dress code in public.
Protests erupted last year after the death of Mahsa Amini in morality police custody, resulting in a violent crackdown.
Despite suppression of protests, many Iranian women continue defying the headscarf requirement as an act of resistance.
The decision to resume patrols is seen as an effort to reassert control and deter removal of the hijab by women.
