Iran: prize

A Maroccan won the 'holocaustcartoon-contest' in Iran. He cashed the first prize of $12.000.
In answer to the 'mohammed-cartoons', Iran organized a contest for the best 'holocaust-cartoon'.
The winning cartoon shows an Israelian crane putting a block to a wall of blocks, leaving a little piece of a mosque, and on the wall a picture of the concentrationcamp Auschwitz.
The contest and exhibition led to worldwide disapproval.
In september, during his visit to Iran, U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan condemned the exhibition, and said the holocaust was an undeniable historical fact.



Iran wants to pay a bonus of $20 pp to western travelagencies if they succeed to attract Western and American tourists to visit the country.
By this campaign Iran wants to reach out to ordinary Americans to show that a standoff over Iran's nuclear ambitions is with the Bush administration, not US citizens.
Visitors from other countries would earn travel agents $10 per tourist.




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

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