Maybe the words are the same, but the time is not the same. Iranians weren't working on achieving nuclear energy.

Lawyers should not be charged with the same crimes as their clients. Trials related to political charges are not in accordance with human rights.

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.

I maintain that nothing useful and lasting can emerge from violence.

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.

The government of Iran claims that every two years there are elections. But none of them are free.

It's not just about hope and ideas. It's about action.
