Protesters in Iran have called for a three-day strike this week to increase pressure on the authorities after the country's attorney general, Mohammad Jafar Montazeri, announced the disbandment of the "morality police".

This is reported

by Reuters

.

In turn, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which includes the "morality police", does not confirm the fact of the dissolution of the organization, and the state media stated that Montazer does not have the authority to influence the work of the police.

It should be noted that the authorities of Iran have repeatedly stated that, despite mass protests, they will not cancel the compulsory wearing of hijabs in the country.

It will be recalled that it was previously reported that Iran is asking Russia

for special equipment to suppress mass protests

.

In addition, we previously reported that Iranian Mehran Samak was killed by local law enforcement officers in the north of the country when he publicly

celebrated the exit of the national football team from the 2022 World Cup
