(IRNA) -- Addressing a gathering on the first anniversary of the charter, President Rouhani also demanded government officials to publicize their upcoming plan for upholding citizens’ rights.
The charter which comprises 120 articles, stresses the right to a “decent life” including the right to clean water, health services, freedom of speech, clean environment, holding rallies, and access to information.
On Dec 19, 2016, President Rouhani signed and declared the Citizen Rights Charter, saying upholding citizens’ rights is a policy of his government.
“The 11th government (sitting government) seeks to show its determination to implement the citizens’ rights through unveiling the charter,” Rouhani said.
