Last month, a UN report found that Iranian authorities had murdered Mahsa Amini, the 22 year old woman who was beaten by Iran's "morality police" for not wearing a hijab properly.
That murder prompted huge protests throughout Iran, with the police killing hundreds of protesters.
Since the protests, the morality police have kept a lower profile. But within a month after this report was published, Iran's Supreme Leader gave a speech where he said that Islamic hijab is mandatory "both from a Shari'a point of view and from a legal point of view" and he asked all institutions and government officials to focus on their "Sharia and legal duties" in order to observe the mandatory hijab laws.
And now the morality police are back in force.
On April 13, Tehran police announced that they will again strictly enforce the laws mandating hijab for women. Their statement said they would "deal with social anomalies in the field of hijab and chastity,"
And now they are out in force on the streets.
Videos are circulating of the morality police stopping women at the entrances to universities, forcing them to change their clothing to be more modest.
These are the heroes to progressive, anti-Israel Americans.
