Iran Is A Rich Country, And If

Some Criticize Me, Thinking I'm Too Tolerant Of The Clerical Regime In Iran. In Response, I Have To Say, I Have Served Time In Prison, I Have Lost My Position [as A Judge]. Do I Need To Prove That I Am Brave? Do I Need To Be Killed?

It Is Totally Unacceptable For A Government To Interfere In The Internal Affairs Of Another Government And Send Aid, Money, And Weapons, To The People Who Are Against A Certain Regime In Another Country.

Democracy Doesn't Recognize East Or West; Democracy Is Simply People's Will. Therefore, I Do Not Acknowledge That There Are Various Models Of Democracy; There Is Just Democracy Itself.

Contrary To What Certain Governments Say, Human Rights Are Universal. Arbitrary Detention, Torture And Discrimination Hurt The Human Dignity Of Anybody, Whatever His Or Her Country Of Origin, Religion, Descent, Or Any Other Ground.

Unfortunately The Situation Of Human Rights In Iran Isn't Improving. Some Of The Newspapers Were Shut Down And The Government Didn't Try To Reopen The Newspapers That Were Shut Down Before. And The Laws Are As Bad As Before.
