You won't hear anything from the "human rights" jawflappers of the Left. They're too busy concerning themselves about golf courses to worry about womens rights in the Middle East.

AZADI/FREEDOM!!!
Even though AI is right to condem this, they have no credibilty: they were against the execution of Ted Bundy, Tim McVeigh and host of others who deserved the death penalty.
Right - your points are agreeable - but that's not the point. The point is that such an org is at least acknowledging it - merely helps to give coverage to the issue.. Otherwise it is just aired by Farsi-based news and translated through work of several activists. I urge FOX and others to pickup this news.
Very true.
Okay, so AI is ticked, are they going to do anything about it....?
there ain't no ten commandments over there
That's true --- all they do is equate this young girl with Ted Bundy and others --- it's all the same to them.
Did she (gasp!) kiss a boy, or just flirt with one? .....or did someone merely accuse her of doing so?
I wish just one of these reports would state what her supposed crime was and what she actually did. Was she raped? Or was it consensual? Was it a sex act or kissing or what?
Most likely she was raped by some older man. She was only a child -- it would be rape even if it was consensual.
Cool pic and Khayyam quote. Nice to be reminded that Persia hasn't always been under the thumb of hateful religious fanatics, and has made great contributions to world culture.
The Iranian Mullahs are behind the so-called "insurgency" in Iraq. They have aided Al-Qaeda. They are trying to obtain nuclear weapons. They are enemy #1. They must be stopped.
I'm not saying AI is going to do anything - this is probably the extent of what they will do, the point is, and I will say again - it brings additional attention and publicity to the issue. From the reports many of us have read and trasnlated =- the young girl was extremely vocal and opinionated and let the judges have it in the court room. Likely she probably had a boyfriend or something and was not married - the regime is a fanatical dictatorship of the worst kind - the Mullahs make Saddam look like a little BITCH.
She bascially said screw the regime and took off her clothes in the court room to spite them and that was the way she could make the biggest protest against them. It is a very sad story - and the issue is, that we should recognize and educate everyone we can about the importance of supporting the Iranian people and working to free Iran from the reign of Mullahs - not to get in a tit for tat about some Amnesty Int. Organization. All we should care is that the pressure from Activist and readers of sites like FreeRepublic and others have pressured this organization to release a statement. That is all they will likely do, but from them, that is all we want. We can do a lot of the dirty work ourselves or other groups who are more capable. But this is a good thing.. lets not twist it and knock on the org that's putting out the news.
FREE IRAN!!!!
Soon, my friend, soon.
I'm floored they found time to leave the panties masked pictures from Iraq to even notice the lovely actions of the mullahs.
A most distressing story. Note that the man involved was not required to forfeit his life.
