Iran shutting down morality police, says official

There was no confirmation of the closure from the Interior Ministry which is in charge of the morality police, and Iranian state media said Public Prosecutor Mohammad Jafar Montazeri was not responsible for overseeing the force.

Protesters seeking to maintain their challenge to Iran's clerical rulers have called for a three-day economic strike and a rally to Tehran's Azadi Square on Wednesday, according to individual posts shared on Twitter by accounts unverified by Reuters. The activist HRANA news agency said 470 protesters had been killed as of yesterday, including 64 minors. It said 18,210 demonstrators were arrested and 61 members of the security forces were killed.

Yesterday, Montazeri was cited by the semi-official Iranian Labour News Agency as saying that the morality police had been disbanded. State media said four men convicted of cooperating with Israel's spy agency Mossad were executed today.

The shut down of morality police is fake news, but suits your agenda so keep on with it. MahsaAmini

Many of the morality police are actually women.....
