بازداشت اساتید نه اقتدار می‌آورد و نه اعتماد/ دانشگاه باید محل نقد و گفت‌وگو بماند

The negative effect of these encounters is that some people think the system has returned to factory settings and does not have a correct understanding of its situation.

Abbas Abdi, political analyst:

Let's assume these individuals have taken actions that warrant a summons or arrest. If that is the case, society must be informed, and officials cannot carry out such actions in silence. The public does not accept this method of non-accountability, even if the individuals have committed an error, and they refer it to past experiences, considering that person innocent. People interpret this system's action more as a matter of 'fear of its own shadow.'

The negative effect of these actions is that some people think the system has returned to factory settings and does not have a correct understanding of its situation. If it does have an understanding, it is from a very limited perspective of physical security and the threat posed by any critic, and it makes no effort to broaden its scope. Therefore, these are negative signs that these security agencies are sending to society. / ILNA
