Denne proces var hverken fri eller retfærdig, og den har gjort det muligt for præsident Ahmadinejad og de mest radikale sektorer i regimet at forblive ved magten, mens de undertrykker demonstranter med vold, forhindrer journalister i at udføre deres job og søger at holde en formodet ekstern sammensværgelse ansvarlig for det interne kaos, samtidig med at de udbreder forkerte oplysninger til at skjule sandheden.
This process was neither free nor fair, and has allowed President Ahmadinejad and the most radical sectors of the regime to remain in power, violently repressing demonstrators, preventing journalists from doing their job and seeking to hold a supposed external conspiracy responsible for internal disorder, while using misinformation to conceal the truth.
