In as much as (1)the Mullahs don't give a damn what the majority of the people in Iran want and (2)the Mullahs have rigged the "election" system so that no one they don't want can even consider being a candidate for anything, (3) the protests, as far the Mullahs are concerned is simply "bread and circus" ("let the little darlings blow off steam, so they won't blow off our heads").
You can call that "freedom", but at least the protestors, unlike you, know it is as false as the sham elections.

You mean like the sham election we had for the governor of my state (washington).
And let's talk about freedom. I wonder if the Iranian government regulates what kind of toilets they can buy, or forces them to wear helmets or seatbelts. Or doesn't allow them to smoke in public places, etc.
Don't get me wrong. I'm only playing devils advocate. I'm just trying to point out that we are not as free as some think, and their freedoms are not as limited as some think. The fact that they are even allowed to march is clear evidence of that.
