Iran government has abolished morality police in the country.

After two months of protest against hijab and strict dress code for women, Iran government has abolished ‘morality police’ AFP reported on Sunday.

"Morality police have nothing to do with the judiciary" and have been abolished, Attorney General Mohammad Jafar Montazeri was quoted as saying.

The protests began after 22-year-old Mahsa Amini died in custody on September 16 after her arrest by Iran's morality police for an alleged breach of the dress code.

Protesters burned their head coverings and shouted anti-government slogans.

Iran’s morality police called Gasht-e Ershad or "Guidance Patrol" was established under president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, to "spread the culture of modesty and hijab"

Gasht-e Ershad began patrols in 2006.
