Azad Armaki, a sociologist, says punishing protesters exhausts the people’s patience.
Taghi Azad Armaki, a sociologist, mentioned that figures like the mayor of Tehran spoke to students with an authoritative tone and phrases like ‘Don’t talk, sit down, man,’ as if a military commander had entered the barracks.
If the system resorts to punishing and penalizing protesters, people’s behavior will become radical and their patience will run out. If this trend continues, people will lean towards fundamental changes.
