Protesters call for the strike leading up to December 7, when President Ebrahim Raisi is set to visit Tehran University for the national celebration of Student Day.
The nationwide protests began after Amini, a 22-year-old Kurdish Iranian woman, died in the custody of Iran’s morality police on September 16, after she was detained for violating the hijab restrictions governing how women dress.daily say there have been fewer sightings of the morality police on the streets in recent weeks as authorities apparently try to avoid provoking more protests.
“The same authority which has established this police has shut it down,” Montazeri was quoted as saying. Montazeri said the morality police was not under the judiciary’s authority, which “continues to monitor behavioural actions at the community level.” They had been arrested in June – before the current unrest sweeping the country – following cooperation between the Ministry of Intelligence and the Revolutionary Guards, Tasnim news agency reported.
