After garnering a decisive "re-election" victory, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, a so-called reformist, praised two of his predecessors - the late Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani and Mohammad Khatami both of whom were also so-called reformists.
What of the scores of Iranian dissidents and opposition figures murdered in exile during Rafsanjani's era? What of the brutal crackdown on Iranian students at Tehran University in 1999 resulting in the deaths of several students and the disappearance of nearly 80 students?
With increased executions and arbitrary imprisonments during his reign, Rouhani is following into Rafsanjani and Khatami's "reformist" ways.
