Since the Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has taken office in 2013, basic human rights in the country have worsened despite Rouhani pledging to improve the situations of the citizens of the country when he was elected.
Following is a summary of this NCR-Iran article:
Rouhani (first row, second from left) praying with the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini and his followers in Neauphle-le-Château, France, 1978.
Rouhani has always been a strong supporter of the extremist forces which have made Iran a totalitarian state:
From Wikipedia:
As a young cleric Hassan Rouhani started his political activities by following the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini during the beginning of the Iranian Islamist movement. In 1965, he began traveling throughout Iran making speeches against the government of the Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, the Shah (king) of Iran. During those years he was arrested many times and was banned from delivering public speeches.
In November 1977, during a public ceremony held at Tehran’s Ark Mosque to commemorate the death of Mostafa Khomeini (the elder son of the Ayatollah Khomeini), Rouhani used the title “Imam” for the Ayatollah Khomeini, the then exiled leader of the Islamist movement, for the first time. It has been suggested that the title has been used for Khomeini by others before, including by the Grand Ayatollah Mohammad Baqir al-Sadr, although Rouhani was influential in publicizing the title.
