This decision is the result of protests that have been taking place in the country for two months and are related to the dress code for women.

According to Montazeri, Iran's parliament and judiciary are already working on a review, writes The Guardian.

Iranian President

previously stated that the country's republican and Islamic foundations are enshrined in the Constitution, but said in a televised speech that there are "flexible" ways to implement them.

The hijab became mandatory for women in Iran in April 1983, four years after the Islamic Revolution.

On September 16, 2022, protests began in the country related to the murder of 22-year-old activist

, who was arrested for allegedly violating the law on wearing a hijab.

She was brought to death by the moral police.

As a result, many Iranian women have also stopped wearing the hijab and are demanding an end to the morality police, as well as the rights and freedoms they are deprived of.

The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights,

, said that during the protests, the authorities arrested 14,000 people, including children.

Iran admitted that about 200 people died during the protests, and turned to Russia for help in suppressing the popular uprising.

He asked to provide equipment for fighting protests, and to send advisers for training.

In Tehran, they count on help, as they previously supplied Moscow with drones and specialists for the war against Ukraine.

The data of the Iranian authorities on the protests differ from the information of human rights activists: according to the latter, about 460 people died during the protests.
