NCRI – Many economic, financial and social experts always stress that the figures and statistics in Iran’s regime basically lack validity and reliability. The Mullahs’ regime is now dealing with a period of time which is called “the crisis of crises” and the prospect of solving the problem is never possible for this regime.
The Mullahs’ regime was so scandalous that several experts also admitted to the secrecy regarding the figures in economic, financial and social spheres. These experts stated that: “this issue has nothing to do with Ahmadinejad’s , Rouhani’s, Hashemi’s, or Khatami’s government. The figures in Iran’s economy are confidential. From a point in history, all figures and numbers have been detected as the surreptitious documents and so far this procedure is still continued. Through the history, each government has exhibited a specific degree of stealth and this degree more or less differs among different states. However, what is clear is that many data and figures are confidential. The lack of a “detailed supervision” and “the legal vacuum” as well as other factors have darkened the disaster, especially in a society that secrecy and corruption are rising (Shargh News Agency Website, Affiliated with the Mullahs’ regime, 8th October 2016).
The actual manifestation of “secrecy and fear” stems from providing people with the public facts and figures in a society. Iran’s regime is well aware that any transparency in this matter arouses uprisings, protests, and rage.
In this regards, Iran’s regime has never represented any exact figure about the number of executions, political prisoners and those sentenced to death, unemployment, inflation, poverty, the environment and the amount of rent-seeking and plundering of the national wealth.
A government expert referred to a reality, called “mass censorship” in the dictatorship of the Supreme leader and stated:”the lack of free information impedes any prevention from the corruptions. The people pay the cost of these difficulties and the process of development is hindered by each day.
In fact, the Mullahs’ regime withholds any information regarding the true figures and numbers. As a matter of fact, providing any figure is like a bayonet that is pointed towards the government rulers. These rulers produce all sorts of corruption and misery in the community.
Regarding the regime’s secrecy, another expert stipulates the primary reasons for such phenomenon and clarifies the issue to the society. He expressed that:” although in the Iran’s constitution is clearly stated that the assets of the seniors, who are working for the three branches of government, should be investigated; this measure is never made in practice. This issue will create corruption automatically.”
