Hossein Alaei, former commander of the IRGC, questions whether methods like the morality patrols are Islamic and religious.
Hossein Alaei, former commander of the IRGC Navy and university professor, mentions that such methods remind some people of Reza Shah’s harsh actions, who used the police and security forces to forcibly remove veils from Iranian women. He urges parliament members to review the laws leading to such behaviors and disasters.
Everyone remembers the Kahrizak tragedy and the case of Sattar Beheshti. Additionally, the video of a mother blocking a morality patrol vehicle and shouting that her daughter is ill is unforgettable.
Now the question arises: has the operation of the morality patrols increased women’s interest in better covering, or has it led some to react oppositely and oppose mandatory dress codes?
The nature of all humans is opposed to the rule of force, oppression, and compulsion.
