Iran: internal, external

Columnist AZADEH MOAVENI of TIME has written a column about raising a cild in nowadays Iran.
A country where private and public life is a difficult skill even for adults to manage.
Children want to know always everything, and the honest answer to "why you wear a veil outside in Tehran, but not at home and not on trips"., (Mommy doesn't believe in the veil, but the government denies her right to choose) could be punishable, if repeated by a child in a classroom.



Daily Iran will resume its publication on Saturday.

On May 23 the daily was closed down after publishing a cartoon which caused anger and riots at the Azeripopulation.
On September 27 the ban was lifted. The Minister of Culture appointed Kaveh Eshtehardi to the post of ICPI caretaker .
The new managing director of Iran Cultural and Press Institute (ICPI) Kaveh Eshtehardi told that no major change will take place in the daily.



In Iran deathpenalty is in use. Also for child offenders.

Children are being hanged to death.
A child will be hanged to death.

Hi! Great that you now write 2 blogs. I tried to do that in the past, but I found it was just too much work so I just stick to Dutch for the moment.

But you go girl!

It is a lot of work. But I reckon there are people who have difficulties, reading Dutch.
And of course, it might improve my English.
