A/HRC/37/68/Add.1 rejecting the allegation of torture, the Rapporteur’s suggestion to use more advanced equipment for more effective monitoring of detention centers will be taken into consideration. Reply to paragraph 81 The Islamic Republic of Iran, as one of the safest and most stable countries in the Western Asia region, ensures the rights of the nation, based on the principles of the Constitution, religious teachings, and within the limits of its internationally accepted commitments and similar to all democratic states, it is determined to protect these rights as well as to ensure the security of its citizens against acts of violence and sabotage. The Iranian government has always responded to the legitimate and legitimate demands of its citizens, including the right to participate in political and social affairs, security, and the right to assembly and peaceful gatherings. The right of protest is recognized and guaranteed in the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Article 27 of the Constitution recognizes the establishment of gatherings and marches without carrying weapons, provided that they are not detrimental to the principles of Islam, and that, according to Article 34 of the Constitution, litigation is the absolute right of everyone. Security and stability in the Islamic Republic of Iran is rooted in religious democracy and is inspired by the people's power and not an imported product. It is emphasized that in recent events, no one has been detained for peaceful protest or mere expression of opinion, and the police force, as officers for maintaining of the society’s order and security, who receive the required continuous on-job trainings, demonstrated their ultimate self-restraint and tolerance, which was encouraged by people. It should be noted that, in two stages, a large number of detainees were released without referring them to the Public Prosecutor.

Earlier a spokesman for the Guardian Council reported that the Council, at its 26 th session, approved the Parliament's resolution after it had been resolved. The bills of this Council were approved by the deputies. According to the final Parliamentary resolution, the death penalty for some drug traffickers will be eliminated, and they will be sentenced to 1 to 30 years imprisonment and fines. By reforming the Counter Narcotics Law, a significant number of drug offenders are rescued from execution, and their sentences are changed to jail.
