“While the news that Iran's prosecutor-general has suspended the work of the morality police is welcome, I would temper celebrations at least until he further clarifies things. That word "suspension", تعطیل, leaves the door open for it to be temporary rather than an abolishment.”
It still seems like a promising crack in the regime’s facade. Hard to imagine them making any concessions at all to the protesters unless they were starting to get genuinely scared
aether@HeavenlyPossum @lily_czukay @libcom other journalists/activists from iran are saying this is just a cover or a means of deflection:

“It’s disinformation that Islamic Republic of Iran has abolished it’s morality police. It’s a tactic to stop the uprising. Protesters are not facing guns and bullets to abolish morality police or forced hijab.They want to end Islamic regime. #MahsaAmini https://t.co/qRcY0Kaepc”
Thanks for the update. I hope they bring it down. I hope they bring the whole thing down
