Iran: chemistry

40,000 victims of chemical weapons live in Iran. 85% of these war veterans from Iraq-Iranwar from 1980-1988 suffer from mild symptoms of diseases, only 100 patients are in very critical conditions.
Research has shown that it takes 10 to 15 years for a chemical disease to advance from a mild stage to a moderate or serious stage.
Referring to pulmonary impairment as the most widespread problem among chemical victims, Director of the Center Dealing With Chemical Victims, Mostafa Qanei said that many chemical victims are also suffering from eye, nerve and mental impairments.
The past 20 years there has been much research in Iran by Iranian doctors, resulting in great progress in treating the diseases of chemical victims.



A judiciary official in Hormuzgan province told according to IRNA that vehicles, vessels, houses and stores used by smugglers of alcoholic drinks according to the law will be seized.
All the vessels and vehicles used for transporting alcoholic drinks will be confiscated and sold in tenders. Revenues will go to the state treasury.
Nobody can lodge an appeal against the confiscated properties, also he pointed out that smugglers of alcoholic drinks will be fined at least 300,000 rials per liter.
According to him the demand for alcoholic drinks has declined in the last few years.


It looks like Iranian society ignores the governments' moralization campaign.
Adnkronos reports that police says that thousands of satellite dishes have been confiscated, nevertheless most Iranians have managed to appear to ignore.
Thousands of women are addressed for "mal-veiling", are fined or have to appear in court.
Hundreds of people are fined for listening to western music or for walking a dog, banned in public places in Iran as considered impure by Islam.
So far the campaign only produced disrupt, f.i. at universities.
In Tehran, as in all major cities, few people seem willing to change their habits although many are being more cautious about hiding them.


In Iran there are childoffenders, still on death row.

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