Human Rights Watch Iran researcher Faraz Sanei reacts to Iran's vote in an email to RFE/RL:

"Four years ago the violent crackdown on peaceful protests that followed the presidential election exposed the authoritarian nature of those who hold power in Tehran. Today, regardless of who becomes the country's next president, one thing is clear: the legacy of unfair elections, highlighted by the arbitrary disqualification of opposition figures, detention of government critics, and heavy media censorship continues to deprive Iranians of the right to shape their country's future."
