More than 300 killed in riots as Iran reviews hijab law

Since September, in order to protest the death of the 22-year-old woman Masha Amini after being detained by the morality police for allegedly violating the hijab law, nationwide riots have broken out in Iran and have continued to this day, killing more than 300 people. On December 3, local time, Iranian Attorney General Mohammad Jafar Montazeri stated that the morality police “has nothing to do with the judiciary and has been abolished by its founding agency.” On the same day, Montazeri also said that the Iranian parliament and the judiciary are re-examining the headscarf law, and the results are expected to be released within a week or two. | Related reading (Observer.com)

From September until now, the hijab movement has been raging all over Iran because of the death of a young girl. During these months, the Iranian people have paid the price in blood for their freedom against the morality police. Many people were killed in the months of protests. And when the Iranian team played in the World Cup, there was a touching scene: the Iranian football team refused to sing the national anthem, and the Iranian people in the auditorium saw this scene with tears in their eyes. Today, under constant protests, Iran is finally going to abolish the moral police that has persisted for many years. Seeing all this, people can’t help but sigh: only the brave deserve freedom.
