Iranians demand basic social and economic justice from their leaders

It is reprehensible that those running the country tell the Iranian people, many of them living without the basic necessities of life, that they do not have enough money to support the country, yet hold offshore bank accounts with hundreds of millions of dollars. Such actions fundamentally violate the basic Islamic principles of social justice and charity to the poor, which leaders that derive their authority from Islam are duty-bound to observe.

Let us not forget that before Iranians took to the street demanding “where is my vote,” they rallied for candidates that promised social and economic justice. A way forward with dignity and promise for the Iranian people. In this spirit, we join the Iranian people in their fight for their economic and social rights by denouncing those that by their actions deny them realizing their full human potential, and hence freedom in all its possibility.
