NCRI –\u00a0In his remarks reflected in the state media on Monday November 7, the head of Iranian regime\u2019s judiciary Mullah Sadegh Larijani has in an apparent lie claimed that \u201cthe freedom of expression in the Islamic Republic is a reasonable and real freedom.\u201d<\/p>\n
In a meeting with higher authorities of the regime\u2019s judiciary, Larijanin attempted to implicitly attack Hassan Rouhani by saying \u201csome say it would be much better not to break pens or shut mouths on unrealistic or unsubstantial excuses. It\u2019s obvious that they\u2019re addressing the judiciary. This is a defamation of the judiciary. Ironically, those who target the judiciary with such defamations and insults, keep talking about morality and Islam as well. Which Islam or morality are such defamations and insults compatible with?! Who\u2019s going to benefit from such defamations of the judiciary and weakening of the justice department?<\/p>\n
Addressing Rouhani, Mullah Larijani said: \u201cHonorable brother, you yourself have repeatedly said, oral or written, directly or indirectly, that why this paper or that website are not dealt with, or go to Khamenei and complain that the judiciary has failed to deal with a paper. But once among the press and media people, you talk about the freedom of press and not breaking pens or shutting mouths! Nevertheless, we don\u2019t care about any of these words and keep going our own legal way.\u201d<\/p>\n
It\u2019s worth mentioning that in his speech at Tehran Book Fair on November 5, Rouhani had said that \u201cmouths should not be shut on unsubstantial excuses\u201d or \u201cbroken pens and shut mouths are not capable of doing anything\u201d and \u201cgun is not enough for maintaining security.\u201d<\/p>\n
The remarks by Mullah Sadegh Larijani removes the mask off Rouhani\u2019s face more than ever, making it quite clear that when it comes to the repression of freedoms in society, both factions of the regime say the same thing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
