Iran; 600,000 new imprisonments each year, basis for social unrest

 
During an open-door session of the Iranian regime parliament on Monday, where the interior minister of Rouhani’s administration was also present, lawmakers warned the administration of the boiling unrest and its consequences in the country due to the colossal and unimaginable plundering and corruption, and on the other hand, the arrests and the most brutal and widespread suppression against ordinary people. They warned that this combination would add up to disaster and earthquake for the entire regime.
The interior minister revealed that “there are more than 600,000 new arrests and imprisonments each year where at least 200,000 of them remain in prison for long terms.”
He warned of the social consequences of such phenomenon and said: “If you want to learn of the social cost of this policy, you must multiply this number by the number of people in a family.  Each of those arrested have a family that becomes concern. And then you must add the government’s economic, social and political programs to that outcome too. Because the lack of ability to satisfy the society would in some point tie to the social apathy and the extent of the repression. Then if we add up all those numbers together, we would have boiling pot which would cook up some catastrophe for the entire regime.
Lahouti, another Majlis (Iran regime parliament) lawmaker warned “we have some 11 million people living in slums. These people lack every social services that is provided to regular inbound city residents. This has really created a problem for us. These people live in dangerous places such as in trash lands where their health would be in grave danger. They illegally use the city’s water and electric systems.”
