In Saudi Arabia, the religious police are known as the "Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice" (CPVPV), often referred to as the "Mutawa" or "Mutaween." Their role is to enforce Islamic laws and promote moral behavior in accordance with the country's strict interpretation of Sharia law. However, their powers have been curtailed in recent years, with reforms allowing for more personal freedoms.
