Masses of demonstrators are turning out throughout Iran, where some are shouting down police enforcement of strict religious dress codes for women. The country's so-called morality police have resumed patrols after keeping a low profile amid nationwide outrage following the death of an Iranian woman, Mahsa Amini, in September 2022 in police custody. She had been charged with not wearing a head scarf, or hijab, properly.
