Produktinformationen "Maintaining Modesty: The Methods of Iran's Morality Police and Basij"
Iran's concept of public modesty is upheld by two forces: the Guidance Patrol and the Basij. The Guidance Patrol, often called the "morality police," focuses on dress code enforcement. They patrol public spaces, stopping individuals, particularly women, who they believe violate the rules. This might involve not wearing a headscarf properly or having clothing deemed too revealing. The Basij, a volunteer paramilitary group, assists the Guidance Patrol and enforces broader social norms. They might intervene in situations seen as "immoral," like public displays of affection or certain hairstyles for men. Methods can include verbal warnings, detainment, or fines. Critics argue these methods are heavy-handed and lead to harassment. While intended to maintain public modesty, the system can be seen as a way to restrict individual freedoms and expression.
