Iran: disperse

Censorship in Iran has been sharpened with new rules banning goodselling bestsellers like The Da-Vinci Code.Thousands newer and older literary books, books with songtexts and many already reprinted classics are not allowed being reprinted or sold.
The clampdown has been headed by the hardline culture minister, Mohammed Hossein Saffar Harandi, a former revolutionary guard and close ally of Mr Ahmadinejad.
Opening Iran's national book week festival this week, Mr Saffar Harandi said a tougher line was needed to stop publishers from serving a "poisoned dish to the young generation". He said some books deliberately gave Iranians a sense of inferiority and encouraged them to be lackeys of the west.



Daily The Scotsman said that according to Iranian media the execution from the 11 Ahwazi will take place coming Monday. The intention apparently is to disperse the hangings in several cities with largely Arab populations in order to spread fear, activists say.

ALO says on her website that Iranian sources known to her told that Tehran government sent H.I.V.polluted blood to Al-Ahwaz region.
On the site Gozaar is an article where Daniel Brett, Chairman of British Ahwazi Friendship Society proposes federalism to protect the rights of all Iranian minorities.

Deputy Police Commander for traffic affairs, Brigadier Mohammad Royanian announced that last year 40mln traffictickets were handed out.

He also added that under a new proposal, which will be sent to the judiciary, drivers who commit high-risk offenses will be arrested and prosecuted.He said fining reckless drivers will not stop driving offences.

Children are being hanged to death.
