Killing the Protesters, Iran’s Violation to the Constitution

I was following the Presidential Election in Iran which resulted to bloody protest. I thought at first that killing someone who participated the protest is just fine in Iran’s Islamic Constitution. But by reading the statement of Shirin Ebade, an Iranian human rights lawyer, which are quoted by the news, I realized that what the Iranian authorities did to the protesters are clearly violating the Islamic Constitution.

Ebadi told Al Jazeera on Wednesday: “I am personally prepared to legally represent her family against the people who ordered the shooting and those who fired at her.

“This act was against the law.

“Neda had not participated in the rally but, even if she had, they did not have the right to shoot her.” …

“People were peacefully rallying in the streets to show their opposition to the outcome of the election but, as we saw, they were shot at and many were killed. Many others were arrested,” she said.

“The prisoners who were arrested after the election must be immediately freed.

“According to the constitution of the Islamice republic, peaceful rallying and demonstrations are allowed and do not need permission from any authorities.”
