The conservative Vatan-e Emrooz, in its editorial, wrote that claims of “violation of human rights” in the Islamic Republic is shouted by those who were the gravest violators of human rights.

“For decades, these governments and political systems have been accumulating wealth by looting the world’s resources and exploiting the labor force of developing countries, and they see their survival in the destruction of others. They are not at all qualified to comment on human rights with such approaches.

If these claimants had adhered to their human rights slogans, today we would not have seen the violation of human rights in England, France, Canada, America and other countries that claim human rights.
It is not far from expectations that these countries make a false claim called ‘human rights violations in Iran’ and to pass a resolution against Iran in the United Nations Human Rights Council.
Due to the vigilance of the Iranian nation, the enemies will not achieve their goals.”

Hamshahri: Identify cultural weaknesses

The Hamshahri newspaper, affiliated to the Tehran Municipality, ran a story headlined “Identify cultural weaknesses accurately”, quoting the Leader of the Islamic Revolution in a meeting with the members of the Supreme Council of Cultural Revolution.

“The meaning of structure is the cultural structure of the society and the mentality and culture that governs it, and in a word, the software that the people of the society act on the basis of in their individual and collective lives.

The reason that the structure should be reconstructed in a revolutionary manner is because the Islamic Revolution was miraculous through the leadership of the Imam [Khomeini] and the people's movement, and with its strong spirit it changed the political, cultural and social foundations and the false propositions ruling the minds of the people,” the Leader pointed out.

Iran: Revolution on Twitter, peace on streets

In an interview with state-run Iran newspaper, the minister of intelligence discussed the positions of European countries regarding the recent riots in Iran, saying the countries that supported chaos in Iran will face insecurity at home. 

Also in a note Iran wrote that “one of the issues ran viral in social media in recent years is the issuance and publication of calls centered on the invitation to gather and protest in certain places or strike. Accordingly, calls are issued on different occasions of the year in which certain classes and groups are asked to do or not to do a certain action. For example, people are asked to give up their business, study and university or professional field and go on strike.

Basically, the people of Iran do not engage in protest activities under external inducements until they find a reason for dissatisfaction, gathering, protest and strike.

If such calls were made in a spontaneous and popular manner, then we would see massive crowds and protest gatherings in the streets on certain days mentioned in the calls. Also, the national strikes were much more prominent, but the silence of the streets shows that basically people do not have much contribution in the planning of these calls.”

Etemad: Move towards good governance before it's too late

The future of society is brighter with the beautiful slogan of “women, life, freedom”, the Etemad newspaper quoted Seyyed Mohammad Khatami, the leader of the reform bloc, as saying.

“Freedom means the freedom of the nation and security means the security of the country. Freedom and security should not be put against each other. In that case, freedom is trampled under the pretext of maintaining security, or security is ignored under the name of freedom. The government should move towards good governance before it is too late.

Now that the society is showing its movement towards a better future with the beautiful slogan of “women, life, freedom”, we see scholars, professors, elites and students in the forefront of the movement in a rare and perhaps unprecedented way,” Khatami said in a statement on the occasion of Student Day.

This is while the conservative Kayhan newspaper criticized Khatami and wrote “the head of the reformist government, who has played an active role in the conspiracies and subversive seditions engineered by the West and the U.S. against our country during the last two decades, and of course all of them have failed, has recommended the officials to move towards what he called good governance.”

Sharq: Time to hear women’s voices

“Officials should listen to the women’s demands and enter dialogue with the women’s community, and see the good results,” former female parliamentarian Tayebeh Siavoshi told the Sharq newspaper.
“Discussions will make them hear women’s demands and know in which areas actions are needed. Activities were carried out but there has not been any dialogue or conversation with women about their needs.

Women make up half of the country’s population, but the level of participation, which is evaluated according to international standards, is constantly decreasing. If we participate in passing legislation(s), we can write better laws for the benefit of society and family, because women, along with men, have a share in writing the law and in implementing the law.

What was raised in women’s slogans and demands was that women want social freedoms. Anyway, the executive and legislative officials can hold meetings and establish a dialogue with the women's community,” according to the parts of her statements.
