But several tens of thousands of people have been arrested.
The spokesperson for the judiciary has announced that the amnesty for prisoners includes thousands of protesters who have been detained during the nationwide protests. Many users on social networks have raised the question of how many tens of thousands of people have been arrested, while thousands of them are being released.
Political analyst Abbas Abdi has referred to this action as a major amnesty and has written in the Etemad newspaper that when we read about the exceptions to the amnesty, the question arises as to who are the thousands of prisoners who have not committed any of the mentioned actions and are being granted amnesty.
He has mentioned the 1979 revolution and asked whether, 44 years after a revolution that was fought for freedom, these actions should be condemned and their amnesty be praised.
He writes, ‘Do not doubt that with these policies, you will once again send a large portion of those granted amnesty or similar individuals to prison. Why didn’t they refrain from it so that they wouldn’t enter this field for show?’
