Is the Interaction With the State Negative?
Iran is a country that has not over, despite over 100 years of struggle for democracy and self determination, the population has not converted into full citizens with rights and responsibilities. And it's just fair to say then that almost from the moment you're born in Iran, you have an interaction with the state that is negative. Even bodies are being policed, your thoughts are being policing, just about every sphere of life in that country is policed. It's what I always say is that as an Iranian, you're not a full citizen. You're never aitizen. You're mostly a subject.
