Iran said to add 2,000 morality police units to counter hijab protests

Meanwhile, Rahimi asserted that those summoned may defend themselves, and if proved innocent, they will be freed without any charges.Earlier last week, Tehran's police chief, IRGC Brigadier general Hossein Sajedi Nia had announced the deployment of "morality police undercover patrols," with more than 8,000 male and female staff to identify dress code offenders.In recent years law enforcement officials have detained tens of thousands of vehicles for carrying female drivers or passengers who had removed their scarves or violated the Islamic dress code in other ways.
