A red carpet peck on the cheek by Leila Hatami, the Iranian actress at the Cannes Film Festival has been reported to the country’s courts by activists who are seeking a public flogging as punishment for violating Islamic laws.
Hizbullah Students, a group of university students with links to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard yesterday filed a complaint with Iran’s judiciary for the prosecution of the film star who starred in the Oscar-winning, A Separation.
Miss Hatami was condemned by Islamic Republic officials for kissing Gilles Jacob, the President of Cannes Festival, while attending the event as a member of the jury.
Mr Jacob tried to play down the incident, describing it as “a usual custom in the West” after it was condemned as an insult to Iranian womanhood.
According to the Guards-run Tasnim news website, the Hizbullah Students organisation called for Hatami to be flogged for “kissing a strange man”. The maximum sentence the offence can incur is 50 lashes.

Some more happy Iranians.
50 public lashings as punishment? Islamic perverts.
She best stay in France.
Learning about 7th. century Islam one outrage at a time.
When Roman morals were pure Cato The Elder fined a fellow Roman for kissing his wife in public. Cato quipped he "never kissed his wife except when in rained and thundered. However, he was glad when it rained and thundered."
She musts have let her nose peak through her burka, the Muslim version of pornography.

With all the slap downs of free speech here in the US, the flogging mentality is soon to come here, too.
