She then demanded that criminals be introduced to the court to stand trial.
"Fire is opened on people of the countries who are staging civil and peaceful anti-government protests only to revive their natural and lawful rights," the letter read.
"Iranian Parliament Human Rights Committee condemns violence against these people by their rulers and supports certain rights of protestors," it read.
