Abdulhamid Ismailzahi wrote on his former Twitter account that intellectuals and thinkers are the assets of the country, and we should welcome their criticism and opinions. Sadeq Zibakalam is a sincere, patriotic, and caring intellectual. There is no place for such a sincere critic in prison. Free the writers and free-thinking professors to express themselves and liberate the pen.
