During an open-door session of the Iranian regime parliament on Monday, where the interior minister of Rouhani’s administration was also present, lawmakers warned the administration of the boiling unrest and its consequences in the country due to the colossal and unimaginable plundering and corruption, and on the other hand, the arrests and the most brutal and widespread suppression against ordinary people. They warned that this combination would add up to disaster and earthquake for the entire regime.
The interior minister revealed that “there are more than 600,000 new arrests and imprisonments each year where at least 200,000 of them remain in prison for long terms.”
He warned of the social consequences of such phenomenon and said: “If you want to learn of the social cost of this policy, you must multiply this number by the number of people in a family.  Each of those arrested have a family that becomes concern. And then you must add the government’s economic, social and political programs to that outcome too. Because the lack of ability to satisfy the society would in some point tie to the social apathy and the extent of the repression. Then if we add up all those numbers together, we would have boiling pot which would cook up some catastrophe for the entire regime.
Lahouti, another Majlis (Iran regime parliament) lawmaker warned “we have some 11 million people living in slums. These people lack every social services that is provided to regular inbound city residents. This has really created a problem for us. These people live in dangerous places such as in trash lands where their health would be in grave danger. They illegally use the city’s water and electric systems.”
Lahouti then unveiled another corner of the extreme corruption amongst the elite in the country and said: “there are more than $25bil in smuggling business. This is not a petty trafficking thing. It can’t be done by donkeys or carried on the back of mules or even the work of low level smuggling rings. It can’t be done without the strong backing of State characters.”
Official and state statistics show that there are at least 6 million unemployed in Iran. Independent surveys put this number much higher, around 11 million. But even if one would put the basis as the Iran regime itself reveals, in a country of some 80 million population, 6 million unemployed amounts to some %8 of the total population being out of job.
Lahout, the hardline lawmaker said; “if the cost of creating job for the government for one person would be 100 million toomans (about $31,000), we can provide some 2.5 million new jobs with this money for the people.”
He pulled the curtain off another social dilemma in Iran, the addiction in the country, especially among the young people. He cited what the interior minister said about the number of addiction in the society and said: “On the issue of addiction, you said we have only 2.5 million addicted persons. This is the bottom. This number represent only those who have come voluntary and sought help. The real number of addicted persons in the country is above 5.5 million, or some 6 million. The responsibility of so many addiction, I should say, lies on your shoulders,” Lahouti told Rouhani’s interior minister.”
