Seyyed Mohammad Khatami: Labeling every protest as a riot only exacerbates the problem.
If we do not wish to meet the demands of the new generation, we should at least understand their protests.
Seyyed Mohammad Khatami in a meeting with a group of well-informed and interested philanthropists concerning the issues of Sistan and Baluchestan.
Denying the bad conditions imposed on people in the name of life does not eliminate dissatisfaction. All those responsible, planners, and violators of the incidents in Sistan and Baluchestan should be questioned and dealt with.
Labeling every protest as a riot only exacerbates the problem. Continuing the current situation broadens and increases the grounds for social collapse every moment.
If we do not wish or are unable to meet the demands of the new generation, we should at least understand their mindset of hope and protest.
Ignoring or denying the bad conditions imposed on people in the name of life does not eliminate dissatisfaction. Labeling every protest as a riot and justifying harsh and severe responses to it exacerbates the problem.
