Rouhani: Iran must provide ‘space for criticism’
Iran’s president says people are free to protest, in his first comments since the widespread demonstrations began.
“Criticism is different to violence and destroying public property,” Hassan Rouhani says in a cabinet meeting, according to the state broadcaster.
“Government bodies should provide space for legal criticism and protest,” Rouhani says.
