Regime Change Is a Viable Option for Iran

By Jubin Katiraie

They don’t want to continue to live under this repressive regime, which uses torture, executions, and more to keep its people from enjoying even the most basic rights to choose what to wear and how to entertain oneself. Yet, unlike other countries in the Middle East that had no viable alternative to their dictatorships, Iran has a viable democratic alternative.

Amnesty International Calls on EU to Speak out About Iran’s Human Rights Abuses
