THE British government has slapped sanctions on Iran’s morality police in response to the violent suppression of protests since the death of Mahsa Amini in custody.
The 22-year-old died last month after she was stopped in the street and detained by the morality police, who claimed her hijab was too loose.
Her death has sparked nationwide protests demanding an end to morality police patrols and the country’s mandatory hijab law.
