An Iranian official says Parliament has replaced operations by morality police with cash fines in order to deal with those refusing to observe the Islamic Dress Code (hijab).
“Parliament has introduced cash fines in order to remove the unpleasant images of scuffles with morality police in public,” said Babak Negahdari, the head of Parliament’s Research Center.
He added privileged citizens such as authorities’ children should pay heavier penalties.
Negahdari made the comments in support of reforms incorporated into a bill on piety and hijab.
