The Meaning of “Complete Freedom” in Iran
Kamangir | September 1, 2007 | Category Human Rights, Iran, Islamic Republic
Ayatollah Hashemi Rafsanjani’s 688-page memoir was just confiscated and collected from all bookstores [Persian]. The reason is a quote in the page 173 of the book where Rafsanjani writes “an MP suggested quiting the slogan ‘Death to America and USSR’, I said, we have already made that decision and Imam [Khomeini] supports it as well. We are waiting for the proper time.” The book, which carried the title “Towards Fate”, is banned a few days after Ahmadinejad stated “Complete freedom exists in Iran and all individuals and groups can express their ideas” [Persian]. When a person like Rafsanjani is shut up, no wonder others are imprisoned.
