They still believe in the Islamic code so it's not as if they are saying the dress code is wrong, just that they need to apply it differently.

They use it like a light switch, flick it off to get rid of protests, flick it back on afterward.

Are they though?

Oh hey, there's no morality police! Oh by the way, here's a new.... Uh.... Decency police!

I think dokken had one called “ in my dreams” as well.
Thx for reminding me of these guys.

Feels very much like a "if I say I screwed up, can we end this conversation?" move.

Honestly, I agree that this is just an attempt to make all the pressure go away and they will still likely keep the status quo, but the fact that they couldn’t stamp out the dissent with force and were moved to at least appear to make reforms is still a victory.

I can’t imagine how hard it is to stand up to such monsters when they have so much power and zealotry, knowing you could be killed, or your family’s house destroyed. Lots of respect for them, if civilians in all nations had that courage of conviction, the world would be a better place.

Ultimately the religious police mean nothing if the system and the culture still allows thugs to murder people because of perceived breaking of religious rules. The religious police are simply a product of the system and the system needs to go down first.

> the system and the culture

Iran is made up of different groups and cultures that has been forced throughout history by the Persians to live in one country in which the Persians are in power with iron-clad rules. Many of Iranians, especially the near Iraq and Turkey border view women very different from some other parts of the country. This regime's rule is even foreign to majority of the country when you think of the country's long history. Majority of those who protested in 1979 wouldn't have done so in retrospect, knowing about what's happening now.

Don’t believe it. The Mullahs would never give up power over women.

The absence of morality police isn't going to prevent people from shaming and killing women. They need a cultural revolution or a law to gives women rights and punishes those who try to take them away

Doodle_Brush t1_iywiwr7 wrote

I'd bet money it'll be more of a re-branding (and a paper thin one at that) rather than an outright shutdown.

Marston_vc t1_iyvtygo wrote

Well I mean, it’s one of those things you either see change very obviously or….. protests continue?

Idk how information flows over there though. If people hear this is happening would they believe it? And would they know if it was a lie?

No they wont. Either they’ve been rebranded or went underground.

We'll see, said the Zen Master.

​

I don't trust the regime, but I don't trust what we're told about the regime either. That recent story about the fifteen thousand executions for example was fabricated.

It's possible change can happen. Change has happened in Iran before. A government spawned from revolution, that had to ride out the Arab Spring, is probably going to respond to protests or it's going to fall.

It's only uplifting if you're gullible. Saying isn't doing. What they arent doing is addressing the human rights record and changing their laws.

At this stage this is not enough, it's just to placate while they consolidate power again. The regime must change.

There is no Morality Police because they are using them to kill and arrest protesters for now.

This means that the regime is genuinely scared and the protesters should go much further

I once saw a picture of young women in Iran, who appeared to be in a modern setting, that looked like it could have been taken at an American college.

They were dressed in short skirts and stylish tops, etc. And happy.

This was from the 70s, and very much different from today.

It's amazing how quickly things can be set backward.

This is regime's propaganda to ease the international pressure, General Attorney has nothing to do with the laws, Parliament does, and as it shows mandatory hijab is on its place, recently they've banned a complete commercial complex and a bank because they had not hijabi staff or gave service to people without hijab

this is not uplifting news becasue its just false :the islamic republic dont change shit. as we speak the slaughtering beating and surpression is going on,What iranians understand for many years now, the rest of the world should finally understand : The mullah regime is lying as it benefits them, they see that this "morality police" is a bad image now so they shut it down officially becasue they know the ignorant foreign Public media is eating this crap... it also came at a time where countrywide demonstrations were announced.

and ppl like op who are spreading this bullshit are part of the problem

Moggio25 t1_iz037wd wrote

Even if they did, it’s not what the protestors are calling for. They are calling for the total removal of the ayatollah and the jurist leader concept.
