The Demonstrations and What the Systems of Some Countries Permit

Question:
He says: We have looked into the fatwa or statement of the Committee of Senior Scholars regarding demonstrations, but there are those who say that the countries where these demonstrations take place permit them by their constitution or their systems. What is your honorable opinion?

Answer:
We look at the reality: what have their demonstrations produced for them? Are they not, as you know, in a state where their affairs have not settled and their situation has not calmed down? A person looks at the consequences and judges matters by their outcomes. So we look at those who demonstrated and what happened to them in terms of chaos. What is their condition now? Have they settled? Has a state and authority been established for them? I do not think so. We look at the consequences of matters. Yes.
