Iran has apparently disbanded the notorious morality police, members of an Iranian theater group were detained after releasing a protest video, and anti-establishment protesters staged a three-day general strike.

The women of Iran have been legally required to adhere to Muslim modesty laws, loose clothing and covered hair, since 1981, two years after the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
