“The attorney general commented at a religious conference where he responded to a participant who asked "why the morality police were being shut down", the report said.”
The headline is one official’s offhand answer at a religious conference. There was no decree. The law requiring women to cover their heads stays on the books while parliament and the judiciary are “working” on it. Disbanding the enforcers without touching the rule is a PR move aimed at the protests, not a reform.
