Washington Post: "the nature of the Iranian regime has not altered at all"

NCRI - Washington columnist: "Hassan Rouhani is not Mikhail Gorbachev, Iran is not opening up or becoming more Western or somehow more liberal." This week in the Washington Post the writer said: "the level of repression inside the country has grown since the 'moderate' Rouhani was elected in 2013. Including: Political pressure and Religious discrimination have increased, cultural dissidents are under pressure, death sentences has risen, executions carried out the largest number in the world except for China. The writer concludes, change has come to Middle Eastern diplomacy, but change has not come to Iran. And until it does, Iran will remain a source of instability and violence all across the region.
