The letter of the editor of Asr Iran to the Commander-in-Chief of the Police Force: the young artists of Dezfuli are not only criminals, they deserve praise/don’t let the police show a Taliban face
Following the statements made by the Dezful police commander regarding the identification and summoning of the members of a musical group in this city, Jafar Mohammadi, the editor of Asr Iran website, in a letter to the country’s general police commander, asked him not to allow the forces under his command to show a distorted face with such actions and statements. Show the police.
The text of the letter is as follows:
Honorable brother of Brigadier General Hossein Ashtari
Honorable Commander of the Islamic Republic of Iran Police Force
Salam Alaikum
It was reported in the news that the Dezful police commander, who is one of the forces under your command, has announced the identification of the members of a music group in this city.
You are aware that the story is very simple: according to what has been published in the virtual space, the members of a well-known music group have played a piece and sang together; They have not committed any crime, neither their music was out of the musical custom of the society and even the system, nor did their poetry contain criminal themes, neither the clothing and head shape of the group members was anything against the customary norms of Iranian society, neither rhythmic and non-rhythmic movements. We have witnessed women singing in the middle and not even singly.
What happened was completely in line with the standards that currently occur in musical performances in Tehran and other cities.
Dear Naja commander
Your colleagues throughout the country are responsible for providing security around the clock, and it is not permissible for the continuous efforts of the police forces to be undermined by behaviors and speeches like what we are witnessing in this case.
Please note: the commander under your command has said that Dezful is Darul Momineen and will not allow its image and reputation to be tarnished.
Be fair, the artistic and beautiful work of a few talented young people tarnishes the reputation of Dezful with violent treatment or art and artists who have not committed any crime?
What is this word “Dar al-Mu’minin” that they cling to in any city they want to deal with? Aren’t the people of other cities of this country Muslim and believers?!
And basically, where is the encounter or a non-criminal act defined in the duties of the police?
Honorable Sardar
In a situation where people are constantly going back and forth between police centers and judicial authorities to pursue a case, when they see that the commander under your command triumphantly announces the identification and summons of a band in less than 24 hours, you think to yourself. What happens to them?
Did police chief Dezful think that people would admire him and the police for quickly identifying a well-known band whose information is out in the open?
Have they discovered a secret criminal gang 24 hours a day, and they say this with enthusiasm about the speed of their action?
Judge for yourself as a policeman, isn’t such literature a disgrace to the police?
Respected Commander of the Iranian Police
In a situation where the issue of the Taliban and their petrified and short-sighted readings of Islam is once again in the focus of public opinion, do not allow people in the prestigious uniform of the police and in the name of maqadasat, a face of the Taliban from the hard-working and valuable police of our country – who security We owe it to him – to show it.
I wish you and the forces under your command success in serving the great people of Iran.
with respect
Jafar Mohammadi
editor
