Policemen never use force in enforcing hijab: Iran's police chief
KERMAN, June 22 (MNA) – The national police chief said on Monday that the forces under his command “never” use force in countering immodest ethical behavior.
Ismail Ahmadi Moqaddam said police act based on the “duties” in enforcing a socially and culturally-accepted dress code.
“In fact the outlines for implementation of the virtue plan and hijab, approved by the Supreme Council of Cultural Revolution, have been determined and the duties of different bodies have also been defined and the law enforcement forces act within this framework,” Ahmadi Moqaddam told reporters in Kerman.
He categorically dismissed claims that policemen resort to “force” to enforce hijab.
