Iran acid attackers to enforce new law 'promoting virtue'

                    

Iran has brought in a new law on the 'Promotion of virtue and prevention of vice' in the latest repressive measure against women.

The regime's paramilitary Basij forces and Revolutionary Guards will enforce the new rules which include arrest and punishment for women who break Iran's draconian dress code.

A recent spate of human rights abuses, acid attacks and stabbing of women, which met with widespread protests across Iran, have been justified by the regime as 'promoting virtue.

The state-run Fars News Agency said regime MPs debated details of the new law on December 9 and ratified the remaining articles. 

Regime's statewide news agencies reported that the members of the headquarters for the 'Promotion of virtue and prevention of vice', including six ministers of Rouhani's cabinet are:

1. A Friday prayer mullah of the regime in Tehran
2. Minister of Interior
3. Minister of Intelligence
4. Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance
5. Minister of Education
6. Minister of Science, Research and Technology
7. Minister of Industries and Mines and Business
8. Two members of parliament as picked by Committee on Cultural Affairs as observers
9. The plenipotentiary representative of Head of Judiciary
10. Head of Regime’s television and radio
11. Head of mullah’s Propaganda Organization
12. Commander of security forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran
13. Head of the Basij forces
14. Head of the regime’s Friday prayer Imams’ headquarters
15. Two clerics as selected by the mullah’s Supreme Council of Seminary
16. A cleric as selected by the regime’s “Supreme Council of Women Seminary”
17. The Secretary of the headquarters as selected by the head of headquarters
