'Moral' police patrols to start work in Tehran shopping centers

An official in the Tehran police has said that from now on (units) called moral security patrols will patrol the areas around Tehran shopping centers because of the public's sensitivity to (the names) of the (former units called) 'Guidance Patrols'.
This official said that moral security was one of the duties of State Security Forces and was part of their daily routine. He also said that the activities of this SSF department cannot be ceased. (Human Rights Activists in Iran – Feb. 3, 2010)
