Confusion over the standing of Iran's morality police continues after state media gave different reports over the weekend. But more Iranian women have appeared in public without the required head covering hijab as enforcement of the policy has been reduced.
在官方媒体周末发表不同报道后，伊朗道德警察的立场仍令人困惑。但随着政策执行力度的减弱，越来越多的伊朗女性在没有戴头巾的情况下出现在公共场合。
 
The morality police were established in 2005. The group oversees the enforcement of Iran's restrictions on behavior and clothing in public. Women are required to wear the hijab and loose-fitting clothes.

周六，伊朗半官方通讯社 ISNA 报道说，政府的首席律师说道德警察“已经关闭”。这名官员 Mohamed Jafar Montazeri 告诉新闻机构，政府也在审查头巾法，但没有提供细节。
 
But late Sunday, state media Al-Alam issued a report suggesting Montazeri's comments had been misunderstood. It said that no official has confirmed the closing of the morality police.
但周日晚些时候，官方媒体 Al-Alam 发表了一篇报道，暗示蒙塔泽里的言论被误解了.它说，没有官员证实道德警察已经关闭。
 
The conservative SNN.ir news website also said the morality police were not closed. But it added that the way the police do their job might change. The news site is close to the Basij, a security force under the powerful Revolutionary Guard, which protects Iran's religious leaders.

最近几周，伊朗城市的道德警察越来越少。在首都德黑兰，越来越多的女性不戴头巾走在城市的街道上。有时，有些人甚至从防暴警察和巴斯基部队身边走过。
 
Ali Alfoneh is an expert at the Arab Gulf States Institute in Washington. He said, ''For the time being, rather than changing the hijab law, the Islamic Republic will most likely not enforce the law, in order to reduce tension with society."

阿里·阿尔方尼是华盛顿阿拉伯海湾国家研究所的专家。他说，“目前，伊斯兰共和国不会改变头巾法，很可能不会执行该法，以减少与社会的紧张关系。”
