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

“Improper hijab”, which is a woman not wearing the mandatory veil or even having it adjusted to show part of her hair, is considered a security threat by the mullahs and has been since they took power 40 years ago. The names of the so-called morality police have changed since 1979, from the “Sarallah Patrols” during the 1980s to the “Guidance Patrols” that were launched in 2005 to the “Ansare Hezbollah” launched by the IRGC in 2013, but their purpose has remained the same: the suppression of women.
