Morality police take down the name of a detained woman during a crackdown on “social corruption” in north Tehran in this June 18, 2008 file photo. A new smartphone application that helps Iranians dodge the Islamic Republic's “morality police” is proving popular with the young, tech-savvy population but has quickly fallen foul of the authorities. The Gershad app allows users who spot checkpoints set up by the morality police, who enforce Islamic dress and behaviour codes, to tag their location on a Google map with an icon of a bearded man, enabling others to steer clear of them.
