It's so much easier being the head of a totalitarian Fascist state than it is to be a real politician.
Rafsanjani: Those who oppose our rules must be punished
Rafsanjani showed up at Tehran University in order to confront a gathering of students. In response to one student's query about the regime's authoritarianism, unconditional freedom of all political prisoners, a moritorium on shutting down newspapers, freedom of speech, Rafsanjani simply stated that: "everything must take place within the framework of our rule otherwise those who oppose it will pay the price."
Students became enraged after hearing Rafsjani's comments and began loudly chanting slogans:
"Unconditional freedom for all political prisoners,
Freedom of though, always, always,
Fascism must be destroyed."
Following the chanting of the slogans, they began singing the highly popular anthem "Ey Iran."
