Iran: condemnation

Womens rightsactivist and member of the One Million Signatures Campaign Nahid Jafari is sentenced by the Thirteenth Branch of the Revolutionary Courts in Tehran to a suspended 6 months and 10 lashings.
She was found guilty of illegal gathering and collusion intended to disrupt national security.
She is the fourth person to receive a sentence, from the arrested 32 other women’s rights activists on March 4, 2007.
Minou Mortazi and Nasrin Afzali, both women’s rights activists, had received similar suspended sentences of 6 months and 10 lashings and Zeynab Payghambarzadeh, a women’s rights activist and member of the One Million Signatures Campaign, received a 2 year suspended sentence on the same charges.
At least 12 of the 33 women charged in this same case, have been acquitted of charges.
All four women plan to appeal their sentences.


Lord Mark Malloch-Brown, british foreign minister for Africa, Asia and UN, slammed Hillary Clinton for saying in an interview with ABC, that, when she is president of USA, and Iran attacks Israel, she "totally obliterates" Iran.
The interview can be seen at youtube and also in The Guardian be read.

According to Press-tv, Malloch-Brown said among other things that it is not probably prudent in today's world to threaten to obliterate any other country and in many cases civilians resident in such a country.


In Iran there are childoffenders, still on death row.

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