Iran's 'morality police' will be disbanded, according to a leading Iranian official. Protests are expected to continue. See potential bias and similarities in coverage from DailyMail, Reuters, and nytimes:

Iranian Attorney General Mohammad Javad Montazeri stated that the Iranian morality police were being disbanded in response to months of mass protests challenging the Islamic Republic. The morality police enforce Iran’s strict dress code for women and have been the target of recent protests across the country.

The ongoing protests across Iran were sparked after the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, who died shortly after being beaten by members of the morality police over a dress code violation involving her hijab in September.Reuters quoted Montazeri stating that “the same authority which has established this police has shut it down.” The New York Times quoted him adding that restrictions on “social behavior” would remain in place.
