In Iran, which frequently makes headlines for its restrictive practices towards women, a different picture has emerged this time. Following President Pezeshkian's statement that "morality police will no longer disturb women," social life in the country has begun to revive. Recent images circulating on social media show that street performances by amateur musicians quickly transformed into a small festival.
The statement by Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian that "The morality police will no longer disturb women" has led to a noticeable change in social life in the country. With the relaxation of morality police practices, social life has become more vibrant, and images not seen on the streets for a long time have been recorded.
STREET PERFORMANCE TURNED INTO A FESTIVAL
A video that quickly gained millions of views on social media showed amateur musicians performing on the street, attracting significant public interest. The crowd gathered with music, singing along to the songs and supporting the musicians with applause. The footage demonstrated that the cultural energy that had been suppressed for a long time due to bans in Iran has resurfaced.
"MUSIC AND ART ALLOW US TO BREATHE"
A voice of a citizen heard in the video summarized the change in the atmosphere in the country:
"We haven't been able to gather this comfortably and in such large numbers for a long time. Music and art allow us to breathe."
PEZESHKIAN'S REFORM MESSAGES
Pezeshkian, who won the presidential election in July 2024, signaled the reform process in his statement made immediately after taking office, saying, "The morality police will no longer disturb women."
