Guidance Patrol

Guidance Patrol (Persian: گشت ارشاد, romanized: gašt-e eršād), or morality police,^[1] is a vice squad/Islamic religious police in Iran. It was created in 2005. Their job is to arrest people who do not follow the Islamic dress code, usually concerning the wearing by women of hijabs covering their hair.^[2] After protests by the Iranian people, the government said they would stop the Patrol by the end of 2022. However, this may not be true.^[3]
