Iran: to play

Yesterday another earthquake jolted Yazd province.
Both earthquakes (measuring 5,1 and 4,7 on the Richter scale) caused only material damage.

In Behabad, Yazd province, the roofs of three houses collapsed and cracks appeared in the walls of dozens of buildings.








The Iranian statetelevision has confirmed that about 80 suspects on the charge of damaging gas stations and looting shops during last week's protests against fuel rationing, were arrested.
The suspects were identified after watching films by video surveillance and security cameras in the looted shops and damaged gas stations.
The report was the first confirmation that people were arrested during the protests over fuel rationing.
Fuel is very cheap in Iran.
Since the rationing every driver gets 100L per month, anything more than that will have to be bought at a higher price, which officials say will be announced within the next two months.


The Supreme Leader ayatollah Ali Khamenei has said, in a speech that activists should not try to change Islamic laws relating to women's rights.
He criticised the West for using women as a tool to advertise products, make money and to satisfy "disorderly and unlawful sexual needs".
Khamenei said it is wrong that women activists and some men are trying to play with Islamic laws ... in order to harmonize them with international conventions related to women.
The Islamic Republic rejects allegations it is discriminating against women, saying it follows sharia law.
He said this two days after an Iranian court sentenced a women's rights activist to almost three years in jail and 10 lashes for attending a banned rally.
