Special police unit that is part of Iran’s Law Enforcement Forces (LEF) and enforces the strict dress rules for women

— EU Financial Sanctions Files (FSF), 2024-11-21

La police des mœurs fait partie des forces de l’ordre iraniennes, et constitue une unité de police spéciale, chargée de faire appliquer le strict code vestimentaire prévu pour les femmes, y compris le port obligatoire du voile. La police des mœurs a fait un usage illégal de la force à l’encontre de femmes pour non-respect des lois iraniennes sur le hijab, et elle s’est livrée à des violences sexuelles et sexistes, à des arrestations et détentions arbitraires, à des violences excessives et à la torture. Le 13 septembre 2022, la police des mœurs a arrêté arbitrairement Mahsa Amini, âgée de 22 ans, à Téhéran, pour avoir prétendument porté un hijab de manière inappropriée. Celle-ci a ensuite été emmenée au siège de la police des mœurs pour y recevoir un “cours d’éducation et d’orientation”. Selon des informations et des témoins fiables, elle a été brutalement battue et maltraitée en détention, ce qui a conduit à son hospitalisation et, le 16 septembre 2022, à sa mort. Le comportement abusif de la police des mœurs ne se limite pas à cet incident et a été largement documenté. Par conséquent, la police des mœurs porte la responsabilité de graves violations des droits de l’homme en Iran.
