Right......just like your narrow interpretation of the Constitution is just your own personal opinion and that of others, but by no means is the absolute truth.
While external reports like the AI report shine light on the issue, the greatest barrier to ensuring the civil rights of the Iranian people is the fact that under the Iranian Constitution, the Supreme Leader (Ayatollah) is not accountable to the people, the Council of Guardians (hand-picked by the Ayatollah) has to approve any candidate running for president, and the Supreme Council (de facto Supreme Court) is not an independent judiciary.
