Poverty in Iran

It is reported here that official data in Iran speaks of 9 to 10 million of Iranian citizens who live below the absolute poverty line. That is to say, that between 9 to 10 millions of Iranian are unable to eat enough or to benefit from education, housing, and proper clothing. This is the official view and we know from daily experience that Mr Ahmadi-Nejad is very seriousl economical with the truth. However, the real number of those living below the absolute poverty line is estimated by researchers to be anything between 20 to 25 millions. That being 29 to 36% of the population in the country. Well done Mr. President! Well Done! In addition to " nuclear energy", do these people have any other " undeniable rights?"
