It's a victory for the women-led anti-hijab civil disobedience movement and the students strike as Iran 'suspends' the ‘moral guidance police’
The news that Iran's hardline conservative Raisi government decided to suspend the so-called ‘moral guidance police’ made headlines across the world recently. This constitutes a major victory for the courageous women and men of the country who have led an epic struggle against the draconian hijab law.
But while there was an initial feeling of euphoria within the movement, there are now conflicting signals coming from within the Iranian establishment, following announcement by Iran’s Attorney General Mohammad Jafar Montazeri and President Ebrahim Raisi.
