The Interior Minister’s reaction regarding the cancellation of concerts was a security issue; the concert was canceled.
Ahmad Vahidi said about the cancellation of some music concerts that the instances of cancellation are very few, and they sometimes occur due to specific security conditions and issues in a province or city.
The procedure is that when the official bodies issue a permit, the event should naturally take place without any problems. However, if during the event there is an issue that could have other social consequences or negative effects, our colleagues are forced to intervene.
The principle is that our colleagues should not intervene, and the pre-planned programs should take place without disruption. Of course, in the past few months, one or two instances have occurred, but we hope that with more thorough reviews of the permits’ backgrounds, no issues will arise.
