Meaning
معنی۱
The political weight of عدالت is hard to overstate. The 1979 Revolution promised it. The reformist movements of the 1990s and 2000s promised it again. The Green Movement of 2009 chanted رای من کجاست؟ (rây-e man kojâst?) "where is my vote?" as a demand for عدالت. The 2022 Woman, Life, Freedom protests treated عدالت as inseparable from آزادی (âzâdi) "freedom."
