Karzai Gives In To Calls For Moral Police
2006-07-17
Kabul, 17 July (AKI) - Afghan president Hamid Karzai has signed a decree authorizing the introduction of a moral police force to ensure strict adherence to Islamic injunctions. The Afghan service of the BBC said Karzai approved the creation of a commission formed by high court president Fazlollah Shinvari, religious affairs minister Nematollah Shahrani and judge Mohammad Ghasem, who will define the powers of the new corps in charge of Taleban-style moral policing.

Karzai reportedly gave in to pressure from the Ulema Council, which wanted him to approve the measure.
