Iran: outlined

The Iran Rights Documentation Center has published a pressrelease (.pdf) in which they condemn the escalated campaign against Iran's Bahá’í community.
In the month January at least 18 Baha'i were arrested in Tehran, Mashhad and the island Kish.
Also houses where members of the Baha'i faith live, were searched and documents, books, computers and personal belongings were confiscated.


The USA has last Wednesday the anti-Iranian group PEJAK branded as a terrorist organization.
The group is a front for the Kurdistan Workers Party, or PKK, who operates in Turkey.
By this move the USA will freeze any assets the PJAK has under U.S. jurisdiction and prohibits American citizens from doing business with the organization.
Kurds are large minorities in Turkey, Iran, Iraq and Syria.


Iranian scientists have developed an "artificial liver".
The developed device is using tissue engineering technology as a simulation of normal liver which can help detoxify the blood and excrete unnecessary compounds.
The patient's arterial blood enters the device via a tube, blood cells are then separated from the plasma and sent back into circulation.
The plasma is guided into a glass globe, where toxins are separated using the nanostructures located in the artificial liver cells.

In Iran there are childoffenders, still on death row.

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