Abstract

Historically, facing to political crimes have different stages, including from Strictness to tolerance and acquitted. Strictness and tolerant attitudes have been common respectively in totalitarian and democratic regimes. In many countries, there are still many people who are sentenced to long term just because of political criticizing and efforts to reform the political system. In Iran, under Article 168 of the constitution, with the aim of helping Political Prisoners, explicitly stressed the need to distinguish political crimes and the need to hearing of them with the jury. After more than three decades of struggle for the implementation of the principle, the Political Crime Act was passed in 2016. Although with a little optimism we can considered this act as a step towards securing the rights of Political Prisoners, research findings show that the act has serious shortcomings and can’ t achieve the desired goals. In addition, based on fundamental principles of Human Rights, Political Freedoms and criticism of politicians and governmental functions are considered as fundamental rights of citizens and so should not be criminalized.
