Human rights in Iran are a bit vague and sketchy. The right to assemble is "restricted by the government," and I'm not sure what this means but it can't be too good. The Iranian government is incredibly controlling, and the basic rights of Iranian citizens are not its top priority. The students and people who protested and are featured in this comic may have been breaking a law, but they were probably just pushing some boundaries.
The government justifies itself through these same ideals. They value strength and complete authority more than the rights of individual people. The Iranian government doesn't need to give reasons for why it killed dozens of peaceful protestors - no one will openly question them. Justifying their actions is unneccesary and pointless in this situation.
