As a human rights researcher, I am quite certain of the reality that many viewpoints held both in Iran and Europe about the other side’s approach to human rights are based on misunderstanding, unfamiliarity with the philosophy of human rights concept cherished by either side, as well as unawareness of how the principles of human rights are enforced by either side and the real method used for this purpose.

The most important consideration for Iran is to see a powerful central government in Kabul free from ethnic and religious tendencies which would be elected through a democratic and legitimate process.

Seyed Hamid Hosseini
It is clear that by trying to connect the freedom of border guards to demands of the Sunni clerics, Jaish ul-Adl terrorist group is just trying to avoid further isolation while putting renewed emphasis on the position that it falsely claims to have among local people.
