According to Javad Shamghadari,cultural counselor to President Ahmadinejad, the President has decided to accept the offer by Oliver Stone to make a documentary film about him.

The murderer who killed a French tourist Julien Van Waesberghe this Monday at a busstation in the city of Isfahan, is arrested. A source at local police forces told this to Fars Newsagency.
The criminal is a 27-year-old man, Kazem Shafiyee from Shiraz who was on the run after an armed robbery.
According to Fars further details about the case are broadcasted on statetelevision tonight.
Dozens of feminists, human rights activists, studentleaders and journalists in Iran have received an e-mail death threat in the last few days.
The e-mails tell recipients they have been targeted for their anti-Islamic activities and are told they are included on a list with those who deny their faith.The sender calls himself "martyrdom volunteers".
Most of the recipients of these e-mails are women. One of the recipients, who wants to remain anonymous said she had to take the threats very seriously. The growth of the feminist movement in Iran and the strong presence of women in civil society annoys someone, and perhaps many people,who want to stop them by intimidation.
In Iran there are childoffenders, still on death row.
Children are being hanged to death.
A child will be hanged to death.

We have to thank many for this, including the gullible people of Iran and Jimmy Carter who at the time of the installation of Khomeini in Iran was hoping the changes will bring better human rights conditions, what a huge mistake! Rafsanjani is back in full control since August of this year and it is all back to the same policies as the late 1990's, that is targeted elimination of opposition and creating fear an panic among the population: remember the serial killings conducted by the ministry of intelligence, ordered by rafsanjani and Khamenie, planned by Hojatoleslam Ali Fallahian and conducted by Saied Emami (also known as Saeed Eslami)
Isn't everybody always hoping changes make things better?
This expression puts it right: "If it is note broken don't fix it". I remember how human rights were emphasized in that period, especially by Jimmy Carter and now the "civilized" western world is debating such matters as torture. The regime of Mohammad Reza Shah executed 383 people during his 32 years reign ( according to Emadeddin Baghi a researcher for the Islamic Republic who is now under scrutiny for his findings and his book), not that the Shah record is a point to brag about but this is no comparison with the Islamic regimes record, yet Carter and the rest of the Western world seem to be oblivious to this and they continuously want the people of the world to think that the Islamic republic has democratic tendencies. Even the record of the state of Texas pales compared to the Shah's, Texas has executed more than 400 people since 1976.
