Iran President Pledges to Reform Morality Police
News summary

Iran's new president, Masoud Pezeshkian, pledged during his first press conference to ensure that the morality police will no longer harass women, marking the second anniversary of Mahsa Amini's death, which sparked widespread protests in 2022. Amini, who was arrested for violating strict dress codes, died in police custody, leading to unrest that resulted in hundreds of deaths and thousands of arrests. Pezeshkian, a reformist leader who succeeded the ultraconservative Ebrahim Raisi, also committed to easing internet restrictions that have been tightened over the years, particularly during protests. He emphasized that the morality police were not intended to confront women and assured that their activities would be curtailed. Additionally, Pezeshkian addressed Iran's diplomatic relations with the United States, stating a desire for respect rather than hostility. His government faces challenges in implementing these changes due to existing judicial and parliamentary constraints.
