In Recent weeks several political prisoners were released and several others were arrested and detained.....

1- The news had always been like this . By looking at the news websites,one can easily find out that if regime releases the political prisoners one day ,it also arrests several others the next days. This has been the trend for the entire 34 years age of the Islamic regime in Iran. This is because the judiciary of the Islamic regime is partial and political and runs by Islamic ideology and it become a systematic policy of the regime to act this way to intimidate the dissent /critics and oppositions. It is because it find it very useful for its regime to continue its political life.
