Ahmad Jannati, secretary of the Guardian Council has been named the head of the “Enjoining virtue and prohibitting vice” crackdown entity. This is the main agency in charge of imposing pressures and further crackdown on women and youth.
Mortez Agha-Tehrani, a member of Iran’s so-called parliament, told reporters on August 25th on the sidelines of an open-door session, “With the order issued by parliament speaker Ali Larijani, preparations for the implementation of the ‘enjoining good and forbidding wrong’ have been paved.”
