Nobody is venturing to reprimand or silence them. Kukaan ei yritä nuhdella tai hiljentää heitä. It is the aim of the Iranian Government to silence all opposition once and for all both inside and outside the country. Iranin hallituksen päämääränä on kertakaikkisesti hiljentää koko oppositio niin Iranin sisällä kuin sen ulkopuolella. In practice it gives the government the right to silence and to detain both the actual and suspected representatives of the opposition. Käytännössä se takaa maan hallitukselle oikeuden hiljentää ja pidättää sekä varsinaisia että epäiltyjä opposition edustajia.
