HRANA News Agency – On Wednesday, June 22, 2011, in a press conference to announce the beginning of nightly highway patrol project, Hossein Sajedinia, Tehran’s police chief, said, “One week has passed since the implementation of the Moral Security Plan began throughout the country. During this time, we have witnessed 20% reduction in illegal activities and outlawed appearances. Since people have welcomed our efforts, we have decided to broaden the program. Police will try to give warnings first in order to guide individuals. Those who insist on breaking the law will be punished.”
Reporting that underground fashion shows have been identified and shutdown, Tehran’s police chief added, “These centers attempt to sell illicit and inappropriate attire. When the police finds out, we’ll react immediately. In the last two weeks, we have broadened our efforts and even arrested two men and one woman who were collaborating with each other in order to steal from such centers.”
Pointing out that the residents of Tehran feel much safer, Hossein Sajedinia said, “Increasing people’s sense of security is very important for the police. Fortunately, people feel much safer today in comparison to the past.”
