Your comments on the arrests of political activists by Iranian authorities following violent rallies to protest the result of the presidential election which incumbent President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad claimed as a victory.
The people are not mature enough to face the election result. I agree with the Iranian autho-rities, who continue to arrest the activists protesting the result of the election.
There are so many foreigners behind the protests, the Iranian authorities should fight against them. It has happened in our country too, foreigners are always behind such movements.
I think the root of the problem in Iran is foreigners that have connections to countries which disagree with the nuclear programs developed by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Why do the Indonesian people seem indifferent to the situation in Iran?
I suppose the news is mainly focused on the current elections here and elections like those in Iran that turn bad can be a bit hard to talk about at the moment.
Traveling a lot, I think the media in Indonesia are among the most critical in Asia, which is why I am surprised that the situation in Iran is treated as a secondary event by the country with the biggest Muslim population in the world.

No matter how many revolutionary guards, Basij militia and riot police President Ahmadinejad and Ayatollah Ali Khamenei might unleash on the demonstrators, sooner or later the voice of the people will prevail. The Iranians are ready for a more open, less conservative and less authoritarian leadership.

It is the right of the Iranian government to prevent the protesters from causing anarchy.
Such violence will invite foreign interests to intervene in Iranian internal affairs. It should be a lesson for the upcoming presidential election in Indonesia. We have to avoid any horizontal conflicts.
