Shoura Council Rejects Proposal for Morality Police Uniforms
 The Shoura Council rejected a proposal yesterday that would have required the Commission for Promoting Virtue and Preventing Vice, also known as the religious police, to wear some kind of uniform. The members of the consultative body turned the proposal down 63-52 following debate. The head of the Shoura said the decision on the matter was nonreversible. Supporters of the proposal said that a uniform would help prevent impersonators to act as morality officers while other members argued that the current system, where officials of the commission are supposed to wear badges, is sufficient.
