Iran claims to finally abolish the Morality Police

I'm a cynic, so yeah, they're abolished on paper. They had to, especially if Iran wants to join the rest of the world. But in private? Oh you'd better believe that they're still in practice.

Still, way to go. I know Persepolis was just one view, but the more you hear about protests, the more it seems like that was a pretty widespread situation.

They're just trying to "bribe" the protestor

@Elessar nothing ever gets better here, people aren't backing off at all, we know if we stop now morality police will come back with a new name and way worse

@Nanori I'm not saying you should stop; rather, I'm only hoping that seeing that the regime had to concede, even if just figuratively, would attract even more people to the cause and/or loyalists to the regime reconsider their allegiance. Totalitarianism cannot afford showing cracks, if they're doing it deliberately they're sorta shooting at their own feet.

So long as Khamenei is in charge of course things can't really improve, but this still seems like a step in the right direction to me, or at least a signal that the protests aren't as "weak" as many detractors would make them look like.

True
You can trace all this back to America overthrowing a democratic Iranian government and installing a brutal dictator,

@Ryderbike America , Britain, France or any other country does not put the Dark Sadistic thoughts into a mans head that would make him Beat his own Mother for letting her face be seen, Those Beasts in power there have just not been challenged by True Husband, Fathers and Brothers

They did not abolish the morality police. That's not going to happen while the Mullahs are in charge.

What they said, is that they Hijab law is currently under review.
@Northwest Unfortunately, that sounds more believable. 🙁

They didn't do that, it was apparently coming from the wrong dude to make any difference. It's more likely that they're trying to calm down the protests with false news, as far as I can tell.

@MartinTheFirst Enough shows abolishing the morality police. However, they are only in "discussions" about hijabs and clothing. A step, even a baby step, in the right direction.

@Magnolia21 I'm pretty sure they're going to need a full scale revolution to turn over that government. There's just too much pride and egoism in there for anything to change.

@MartinTheFirst In my limited studies, it takes several outright revolutions for change. Even France, that famous revolution kinda ended poorly, until another revolt. Iran did the same, and we're here. Maybe another two will set things on a sane path.
