From Revolution to Everyday Patrols: The Evolution of Iran's Basij and Morality Police

Produktform: Buch / Einband - flex.(Paperback)

Iran's Basij and Guidance Patrol (morality police) have undergone a fascinating transformation. The Basij, born from the fervor of the 1979 revolution, started as a volunteer paramilitary force defending the new Islamic republic. Over time, they morphed into a social force, assisting with everything from disaster relief to morality patrols. The Guidance Patrol, established decades later, emerged from a need to enforce public dress codes. They ensure women adhere to hijab regulations and clothing deemed appropriate.

This evolution reflects the Iranian government's growing focus on social control and maintaining a specific vision of public morality.weiterlesen
