The controversial police unit enforces Iran's strict dress code and has been accused of brutality.
Iran's controversial morality police are tasked with enforcing the country's strict dress code Iranian police are resuming controversial patrols to ensure women obey dress codes and cover their hair in public, state media reports.
Under Iranian law, which is based on the country's interpretation of Sharia, women must cover their hair with a hijab and wear long, loose-fitting clothing to disguise their figures. Mahsa Amini, 22, was visiting the capital Tehran with her family last September when she was arrested by morality police and accused of wearing her hijab "improperly".
Videos posted on social media suggest that, until recently, the sight of women not wearing hijabs was becoming more commonplace.
