NCRI - The Iranian regime's parliament has held a special session to tackle the growing problem of attacks on female anti-vice police by women resisting the regime's repressive laws.
The National Security and Foreign Affairs Commission and Cultural Commission as well as Tehran's police and Basij paramilitary held the urgent meeting after three recent incidents of women defying female officers in public.
The committee said it discussed new ways to protect those who 'promote virtue and prevent vice' on the streets of Iran.
In one incident in Tehran's Pounak District on July 14, a dispute erupted between a female anti-vice officers and woman she told was wearing her veil incorrectly. A fight is said to have broken out after the woman told the officer: "You ruin everything [in our country] and I will pull down your Chador myself."
On the same day, another female anti-vice agent was attacked in Tehran's Khani Abad District after telling a woman to adjust her veil.
Then in the city of Shiraz on July 22, three female anti-vice agents approached a woman, who turned on the officers shouting: "It does not concern you. I will dress anyway I want and come out so that the eyes of your Leader bulge out."
An official meeting in parliament on July 23 then issued a warning to Iran's police chief to clamp down on all future incidents of this kind.
Police deputy Saeid Montazer al-Mehdi denied the event in the Pounak district occurred, adding: "When someone tries to defend religion, that may have its own consequences."
Hossein Taghavi said later of the parliament session: "Tehran's police chief Sajedinai has spoken about the first two incidents. He explained about the legal action that was taken, and those present at the meeting called for a safe and secure environment for those who to promote virtue and prevent vice."
The incidents also come after Ibrahim Raeisi - first deputy of the regime's judicial system - said on June 30 that anyone causing social disorder would be 'dealt with seriously'.
He added: "If we back down, people will take advantage. We shouldn’t disregard the role of the anti-vice police in the society. If the enemy identifies any weakness in us, they will take more action. The judicial system will seriously deal with anyone trying to cause disorder in society."
