More than 30 members of women's rights activists were arrested on Sunday in front of Islamic Revolution Court. They were gathered together to announce their solidarity and support of 5 other accused who were going through a trial the very same day due to defending their legal rights. Their presence was to demand their acquittal. They accepted captivity in their attempt and followed their way to detention with no fear and horror. Regardless of the fact whether the Judiciary attempt and approach to arrest them has been correct or not, I want to point out an issue; I want to know whether the attempt of the women's activists, who have sacrificed their life to achieve their goal, has been legal or not??

The Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran at 1385 (2006) was set out for plebiscite and received the majority of votes from Iranian people. Iranians approved this Constitution to establish justice and eliminate any form of unjust discrimination. The rights that have been violated during history are women's rights and people of Iran demanded elimination of any form of oppression and inequality in the law imposed to them. In the introduction of the Constitution a part titled "Women in the Constitution" exists including the provision that: "… considering that women have suffered most under the oppression and exploitation of the previous regime, their rights should be vindicated most…" and in the article 20 of the constitution it reads: "All the members of this nation, men and women, are equal in front of law and are entitled to all human, political, economic, social and cultural rights compatible to the Islamic Principles." In general, the Constitution of Iran considers a very high status and credit for women in a way that it never speaks of inequality between men and women. From the introduction we it is perceived that by the approval of the Constitution all forms of discrimination will be eliminated and justice will be established and women's rights will be vindicated.

Almost 27 years have passed and all discriminatory rules and regulation which encourage inequality between men and women are still being enforced and ever growing knowledge of Iranian women has elevated their expectations regarding their legal rights and has aggravated during time. Most religious leaders such as Ayat Ollah Makarem Shirazi, Boroujerdi and Jenatie consider some of these expectations to be legal but it seems that unless a space is created where governmental authorities don't take defensive position, these expectations will grow and we will witness massive and extensive arrests.

Claiming equal rights with men regarding the dominating laws on Iran such as equal mulct for men and women, right to judge, right to guardianship, right to divorce, equality of women's testimony to that of men, no need to father's permission for girls to get married and other inequalities existing in the prevailing legal system is not very difficult to interact and change.

So, we conclude that this is the protesters legal right to announce that their rights have not been revived and government 's responsibility in general is to answer these reasonable demands in a sphere far from violence.
