Jamshid Chalangi:
Tonight we will look at the problems that the Iranian people are facing both on domestic and international stages.
The Friday prayers imams of the regime have been commenting about the situation in the country and the possibility of a Trump-Rouhani meeting, while at thesame time repeating their call for the destruction of Israel.
Former mayor of Tehran who had been released from prison is back behind bars as many civil rights activists cannot afford the bail to leave detentions that should not have taken place in the first place.
Our guests tonight to discuss these issues are Dr. Alireza Nourizadeh and Mehran Barati.
Dr. Alireza Nourizadeh:
The issue of Diyah and paying a bail have been introduced into Iran’s so-called justice system by this regime and paying them can even lead to the release of a murderer from prison.
This system regards the rights of women as half of those of men. However, the struggle of our women for their human and civil rights act as a dagger in the heart of the despotic regime.
Only corrupt people who have stolen millions of dollars of our people’s wealth can afford these astronomical bails and the workers who have been jailed for protesting against injustice in the country must remain behind bars because they have no money to pay for their bails.
The damage to former mayor of Tehran Najafi has been done as he was going to nominate himself in presidential election. He had happily accepted the murder of his wife and her family took the Diyah money and pardoned him.
So long as this regime is in power we will see the travesty of justice in our country in similar cases.
Jamshid Chalangi:
And yet the European countries that claim to be holding human rights values so dearly welcome the foreign minister of this regime so warmly as though the Iranian regime is the champion of human rights.
Mehran Barati:
European governments have never condemned the abuse of human rights in Iran. It is mainly the MPs in their parliament or the humanrights bodies that do so.
European governments have always been very careful to maintain their relations with the regime in Iran for economic reasons and leave the question of its human rights violations to others, unless their relationship have faced a difficulty.
