Tehran, 19 April (AKI) - Iran's top students' movement openly criticised the nuclear ambitions of president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in a statement published in Tehran on Wednesday. The association of the Islamic student councils, Daftar Tahkim Vahdat (the Office to Foster Unity), slammed Ahmadinejad's nuclear plan. "This aggressive policy and the decision to resume uranium enrichment threatens the security of the country and the population," the statement said.
"Once again, as in the past, the population was not consulted by the cabinet and decision makers," the note also said. "The country needs a responsible and democratic government which can be trusted by the international community, a necessary condition for the development of a nuclear policy." The students' movement criticised as "not very smart and offensive" Ahmadinejad's strategy "which defies for no reason the international community."
The students of Daftar Tahkim Vahdat concluded their statement denouncing the "fierce censorship imposed on the media in the Islamic Republic to prevent the public opinion from obtaining correct information on the nuclear issue." |
