The Director General of Political Affairs at the Ministry of Interior during the reformist government has not found a distinction between a protester and a rioter in the real world, and they do not recognize even a single real protester.
Ali Bagheri told the Jamaran reporter that the government repeatedly mentioned in past years during protests that it is necessary to differentiate between protest and riot, and that protesters should be allowed to express their views.
However, in practice, I do not see a single real protester being recognized by the authorities as a legitimate protester, and for whom rights are acknowledged and implemented.
Several reformist parties requested permission for a peaceful gathering, but now nearly two months have passed since this request without a response. Meanwhile, last week the Minister of Interior responded by saying that some reformist parties have legal issues and have not held a general assembly to date. Is this a valid argument?
So, because they haven’t held a general assembly, you want to deprive them of their rights? According to you, a few parties have this issue, so why don’t you allow those who don’t have this problem to proceed?
