Tehran (IP) - The deputy of Iran's Police Command stated that protest is free and the right of the people, but rioting is the red line of the police.

Iran PressIran News: Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Saqqez (Saghez) resident who had fallen at a police station on September 13 while visiting Tehran with her brother, passed away on September 16 at the hospital. Her passing away provoked riots in certain Iranian cities, which subsequently devolved into clashes that the government of Iran attributed to outside forces.

Speaking in the 14th meeting of Iran's police command with Foreign military attaches in Tehran, Brigadier-General Qassem Rezaei, deputy of Iran's law enforcement command, said that some countries are influenced by the US and usurping Zionism, and human rights are not respected in Iran; this is because of the way Western media cover news from Iran.

Rezaei stressed why countries under the influence of the US and Zionism don't speak about human rights when the American police put their knee on the neck of the innocent people and suffocate them. Iranians have the right to freedom of expression and protest, but some people abuse these protests and violate the norms of the country, he noted.
