Women-led protests, labeled 'riots' by the authorities, have swept Iran since the 22-year-old Iranian of Kurdish origin died on Sept. 16, three days after her arrest by the morality police in Tehran.
triggered by the death of Mahsa Amini following her arrest for allegedly violating the country's strict female dress code, local media said Sunday.
His comment came at a religious conference where he responded to a question on"why the morality police were being shut down," the report said. But under hardline president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the morality police — known formally as the Gasht-e Ershad or"Guidance Patrol" — was established to"spread the culture of modesty and hijab."
Raisi said in televised comments Saturday that Iran's republican and Islamic foundations were constitutionally entrenched"but there are methods of implementing the constitution that can be flexible." Raisi at the time charged that"the enemies of Iran and Islam have targeted the cultural and religious values of society by spreading corruption."
