Iran: candy

The Iranian parliament voted in favor of a bill that could lead to death penalty for persons convicted of working in the production of pornographic movies.
With a 148-5 vote in favor and four abstentions, members of parliament approved that producers of pornographic works and main elements in their production are considered 'corruptors of the world' and could be sentenced to punishment as corruptors of the world.
The term, "corruptor of the world" is taken from the Quran and ranks among the highest on the scale of an individual's criminal offenses. Under Iran's Islamic Penal Code, it carries a death penalty.
The "main elements" refered to in the draft include producers, directors, cameramen and actors involved in making a pornographic video.
Besides videos, the bill covers all electronic visual material, such as DVD and CDs. Other material, such as porn magazines and books are already banned under Iranian law.
To become law, the bill requires an approval by the Guardian Council.
