In its session on November 9, members of the Iranian regime’s parliament ordered the Basij to carry out ‘promoting virtue’ measures (Basij forces can approach anyone, anywhere and warn them about their clothing and their behavior).
According to article 19 of this plan the Basij Organization is obligated to use its ranks and files under the framework of implementing ‘Promoting Virtue and Prohibiting Vice’ measures through ‘verbal warnings’. A footnote of this article emphasizes the term ‘verbal’ does not cancel the responsibility of the Basij judicial agents to take ‘practical measures’.
