If the people follow the law it will definitely be better. Using satellite [watching satellite channels] has been illegal since 1994 and the actions of importers and installers are also crimes and if [satellite equipment is installed in clear view] the SSF can deal with it”…
In answer to a question regarding the current status of the case of the murderer of Rohollah Dadashi he stressed, “A death sentence has been issued for the main [culprit] and the implementation of the sentence depends on if the parents of the victim ask for retribution or not; of course until now they have requested retribution but we have to see what decision they will make in the final stages”.
