A/HRC/37/68/Add.1 seriously criticized. The promotion of immorality and the weakening of the family status and the expansion of unrest in the Western societies have resulted in many problems which have also been criticized by independent thinkers. The governments of these countries, with the false propaganda and support for homosexuals, who live in their territory, have granted citizenships to them, allegationing that they are at risk. Unfortunately, the promotion of Western culture to other countries has led to the promotion of homosexuality as an expression of the freedom of human choice. While the Shari'a view of Islam, the state of family is extremely important that the result of the marriage of men and women leads to the survival of the human race, but the establishment of sex between the two homosexuals is a barrier to the survival of the generation and endangers the basics of the family. According to the holy laws and teachings of Islam and the laws and regulations of the Islamic Republic of Iran as well as the culture and tradition of the society and in view of the importance of family, unconventional acts of conflict with the law, such as those of homosexual orientation, are totally rejected. But there is a supportive approach toward bisexual people and the competent authorities and social institutions support provide them with their requirements.. Allowing transgender people to undergo sex change surgery is an important example. It is worth mentioning that in order to support these people, actions such as: reviewing the drafting of a supportive bill for transgender people, providing counseling, providing financial and insurance facilities and attracting support from public institutions, have been taken. In this way, the Islamic Republic of Iran is dealing with this kind of social health phenomenon and, while preventing any humiliation, it is helping them with integrating into the society. It is emphasized that the allegation for persecution or forcing to undergo surgery and shock therapy, etc., is set out in these paragraphs are categorically false and must be deleted in the final version of the report. Considering the information provided, the inaccuracies in the allegations made in paragraph 77 have also been proven and thus, it should be deleted from the final report. Conclusion Reply to paragraphs 78 and 79 Despite the fact that the Islamic Republic of Iran considers the appointment of the Special Rapporteur unnecessary, meaningless and harmful, but in line with the United Nations human rights system and in order to correct the Rapporteur's approach and her drafting of the report on the basis of reliable information, continuous provision of information was in the agenda of the government and the Permanent Missions of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Geneva and New York, as well as senior delegations from the country, have had regular meetings with her. It is recommended that the Special Rapporteur, instead of the inclusion of unreliable and nonverifiable information extracted from interviews with some anonymous and non-impartial individuals in her report, to reflect in the report the cases raised in these meetings, as well as the previous and current responses of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Therefore, the absence of invitation to the Rapporteur can by no means be raised as an excuse for collecting information from largely untrustworthy sources. We welcome the attention of the Draft to the reform measures of the Islamic Republic of Iran on the reform of the drug law and the pursuit of the implementation of the Charter of Citizens' Rights and the efforts made to reach the development of more developed regions. Such advances should not be affected by the delusional human rights situation in the West. In the laws of Iran and also in the administrative procedure, everyone, including any government official in each category, committing an act against the laws of the country, including human rights violations, for which the legislator has anticipated a punishment, shall be punishable in accordance with the pertinent law; and there will be no exception between government officials and other citizens. Reply to paragraph 80 The laws of the Islamic Republic of Iran, guarantee proper and effective investigation of all possible cases of violations of law, including violations of human rights of citizens, regardless of who the perpetrators are. Also, according to Article 38 of the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran, any torture in the country is prohibited and the confessions obtained under torture are void and in accordance with Articles 570, 578, 579 and 587 of Iran's Penal Code, and Article 9 of the Law on the Respect for the Right to Freedom and Protection of Citizens' rights, perpetrators of offenses shall be subject to heavy punishments. Therefore, while 35
