NCRI- Iranian regime’s State Security Force chief reiterated on Sunday that the "public security plan," which was used to arrest hundreds of thousands of women and youth last year, will continue.
Brig. Gen. Esmaeel Ahmadi Moghadam, Commander in Chief of State Security Force (SSF) – the mullahs’ repressive police – said in an interview with the state television that the "[public security plan] should not be periodical and temporarily," and must be continuous.
Ahamdi Moghadam said that “mal-veiling has become more widespread,” admitting that the plan did not achieve its primary goal of enforcing the mullahs’ dress code and combating the so-called “mal-veiling.”
He said, we would have liked to see the “Sharia Law,” implemented but we had to retreat our “red lines,” further acknowledging the failure of mullahs’ plans to suppress women and youth.
The so-called "boosting public security plan" was first introduced in April 2007 to combat popular uprisings. Mass street arrests of hundreds of thousands of women and youth under the pretext of "mal-veiling" and cracking down on "thugs and hooligans" followed. In the same period, more than 300 prisoners were sent to gallows.
In its latest series of repressive measures, last Wednesday, Ahmadreza Radan, the Greater Tehran Police Chief announced what he called the new "phase" in "boosting public security plan," the state-run news agency Mehr reported.
"In enforcing the ‘public security’ plan, Tehran's metropolitan police will get tough on ‘mal-veiling’ in private companies and small businesses such as coffee shops, internet cafes, clubs and restaurants. The goal is to combat the lawbreakers and criminals," Radan added.
