Iran to disband morality police

Iran's morality police is being disbanded, the country's attorney general has said. The country has seen months of protests after the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, who had been detained by the morality police for allegedly breaking strict rules on head coverings. The morality police is tasked with ensuring compliance with Iran's Islamic values, including dress code. Attorney General Mohammad Jafar Montazeri's comments, yet to be confirmed by other agencies, were made at an event on Sunday.
