The Right to Privacy in the Iranian Criminal Justice System

Abstract

That the individual shall have full protection in person and in property is a core principle of a reasonable life. In some societies this principle is ignored in different ways. At times, government brings some security excuses. “In these societies, the old forms of the right to privacy are seldom known by people, let alone the new forms.” Despite kinds of inattention in these societies, we can see some aspects of the right to privacy, we can see people that pay attention to this right. They respect this right and try to develop its concept. They are trying to get some sanctions for its infringement. So, it has been found necessary from time to time to redefine the exact nature and extent of such protections. Political, social, and economic changes entail the recognition of new rights. So, gradually, the scope of these rights has broadened; and now the right to life has come to mean the right to enjoy life. The right to safety and the right to liberty secure the exercise of extensive civil privileges. The present paper, which uses an analytical method, considers the situation of Iranian criminal justice.
