Supreme Leader: Iran Open to Criticism

A009056886.jpgSupreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei said the country’s political establishment should be open to criticism. “We should be wary of the day when our young people in universities do not have the motivation to raise questions, issues and demands,” Ayatollah Khamenei told a group of students and political activists on Tuesday night.

“If sometimes we have said there should be no opposition to the country’s officials, this does not mean there should be no criticism,” Khamenei said. “This applies to the leadership too.”

“I have supported (previous) governments. I support this government too. This also does not mean that I approve of every detail of the work that is being done,” the Leader said.
