The government should take a lesson from the case of Cinema Rex

About 6 months before the revolution, on the night of August 19, 1978, something happened that, according to historians, played a significant role in accelerating the process of the victory of the revolution. The fire at Cinemarex Abadan, which caused the death of more than 420 people, while watching the relatively critical film Gozenhai by Masoud Kimiaei.

The Shah's regime first considered it the work of Islamic Marxists, and after the arrest of the main culprit, accused the Muslim revolutionary groups, but no one believed the statement of Ayatollah Khomeini, who called it the work of SAVAK and the regime, to defame the revolutionaries, and it was popular in the society.

However, the same person who was arrested before the revolution, that is, Hossein Takbalizadeh, was tried and executed after the revolution and during 14 court sessions in September 1980, on the same charge in a court ruled by Seyyed Hossein Mousavi Tabrizi.

As Sheikh Ali Tehrani, the first sharia ruler of Khuzestan, says in his memoirs, it turned out that the former regime was right and the work was done at the instigation of extreme Muslim revolutionaries.
As a result, the regime's performance caused no one to believe his words, and easily with a brutal terrorist operation, the image of the regime was ruined several times before, and the people were persuaded that such an incorrigible and brutal regime must be destroyed by any means possible.

Let's go back to today, when three months have passed since the serial poisoning of girls' schools, and nearly 900 students have been poisoned at different times during this period.
The state of the government in terms of the credibility of the information it gives to the people seems to be no worse than the previous regime; It is not better.

The delay in providing clear information and the government's exaggeration of its capabilities have been further explained. In addition, the sometimes bitter and inhuman performance of the uniformed forces in the Mahsa movement has prepared the ground for any accusations to be leveled at the government.

With such presuppositions, people ask themselves: Is it really true that with so many closed-circuit cameras that are naturally around every school in the alleys and streets and with such a large number and level of crime, why did the security forces and police succeed in arresting or at least obtaining information? No presentation?!
Aren't corrupt security forces involved in serial poisonings of girls' schools, like the serial murders of 1998?

The government has a short chance to prevent the exploitation of the competitor by mobilizing all its facilities and arresting the perpetrators of the crime.
The lesson of Cinemarex is in front of you if you like to learn!
