Iran’s attorney general, Mohammad Jafar Montazeri, announced that the customs police had been abolished by the competent authorities, reported the ISNA agency on Sunday, December 4. “The customs police have nothing to do with the judiciary, and they were abolished by those who created it,” he said on Saturday evening in the holy city of Qom.
Literally the “patrol of Islamic guidance” is the police force that had stopped Mahsa Amini, accusing him of having violated the strict dress code of the Islamic Republic. The death of the young Iranian Kurdish 22 years old, September 16, three days after his arrest, sparked a vast movement of protest in the country.
