12:02 am
worst on rest in years led by women and young people. initially triggered by the dress code that they've now spiraled into calls for greater social and political freedom. dosa jabari reports now from to her on officially called the guidance patrol. these green and white minivans are a familiar sight cruising the streets. the special force was established in 2006. it's only job to park at major intersections and thoroughfares, to issue warnings to women deemed to be floating around religious stress coats. according to the attorney general, the same institution that set up the morality police has shut it down on saturday, a statement published in a local newspaper. announce the judiciary is already working on a draft proposal for amendments to how authorities and force laws pertaining to chastity and hedge up following recent events. the relevant bodies are looking for a prudent solution. since the death of massa, meanie in
12:03 am
a detention facility in september protests have erupted across the country, many of which have turned violent human rights group say more than 440 people have been killed. and another 17000 arrested. the interior ministry puts the death toll a $200.00, including security forces. masses, death has sparked a massive outcry. some women are publicly snubbing the headscarf that has been compulsory for women and girls as young as the age of 7. since 1983 analysts say it's the direct result of a change in societal norms. she's even more that heroes about what we've witnessed in teheran in recent days, is woman coming out in public without their he job. and they're not being confronted by authorities one. when you can't enforce a lot, then eventually this rule will be put aside. and i think the change will mostly happen in the methods of enforcement, but not changing the lord. and according to the latest survey published by the
12:04 am
parliament, 60 to 70 percent of a reigning women do not follow these van dress code strictly in public. and since september sees like this have become common. while the issue of mandatory her job is still very much a rule in her on the suspension of the so called morality, police could be seen as a move why authorities to appease women? the question now is, will it be enough door such a bari al jazeera to wrong or the marvin, he is an associate professor of journalism at new york university. she joined us now via skype from new york city. but just to clarify, to the prosecutor general remarks suggests an actual change of policy has this, has this police unit been disbanded? the remarks by the attorney general are actually quite ambiguous. it's not clear whether the responsibility for morality leasing, which has up until now in recent years, been delegated to the police. will it simply be perhaps shawn to,
12:05 am
to another state security body? will it reemerge in another guys, is, is the end of morality policing as a form of intimidation and control of people's behavior? or is it simply a dissolution of this particular mandate for this particular security body? i think it's the remarks or ambiguous enough that it would be really premature to consider that a concession or an end to morality policing in total. and this report as ambiguous as it is, comes at a time when many iranian people, journalists, activists, students of facing trial for their involvement and protests. at least 6 people have been sentenced to death. hundreds of people including children, have been killed. so even if the 4th was abolished, it really would be seen as much of a concession after all that's happened. that's exactly right, ma'am. it would, i think publicly perception would,
12:06 am
would be and i think we're seeing indications of it already that it's far too little far too late on it. it doesn't come from a high enough body. i mean, morality policing has been a pillar of state control and revolutionary ideology for 40 years. i'm an offhand remark by the attorney general in the wake of 3 months of the most significant up public unrest since the revolution. and it will not register as a significant public concession and also because it comes so late. and because the public has been so frustrated and enraged by the states response to, to master emmy's debt and the protest up until now, this will really not at all go any step towards assuaging public sentiment at all. i mean, the demands that we're seeing on the street, the extent to which are really the majority of iranians, even those who don't come out on to the street. but back the protests at their demands with the fade, you know, their demands of the stay and their anger with the failures of the system go well
12:07 am
beyond morality policing. now that is going to be, i suppose, very difficult for them to deal with that. i'm wondering how much of a struggle i might be bob's even within government in terms of the response. because, you know, even if i were to be a cancellation of the mandatory had jobs, the demands now so much wider in terms of civil rights, human rights and political freedom that's. that's exactly right. i mean, i think what people are showing in this sort of grand display of civil disobedience on the street is that it's impossible to, to compartmentalize public dissatisfaction with the record of the government before you sort of have an economic basket of complaints, a political basket of complaints about rights and freedom of expression and then a cultural one, you know, the demands of iranians that want a more liberal, more permissive society at now, it's really clear that the government's failings are connected across all of these
12:08 am
areas. so it's not as though, you know, fixing the rate of inflation will assuage public dissatisfaction or loosening controls a little bit and releasing pressure on social controls. i, it is very much a system that is sort of locked by the ideological approach to politics and governance. and also so indifferent to public sentiment, and i think what we're seeing is the public making clear that all of their demands for our material better a lot for our materially better life or more political freedom for more social openness. they're all connected and they go through better and more open governance . and so i think that's where the government is, is finding itself without any answers other than live any. thank you very much for joining us. thank you. now at least 2 people have died and the anti government protests in southwest, in syria, anger of a rising prices in the economic hardship. david straight to storm the government
