Reuters: Five lawyers have been arrested in Iran for security-related offences, a local news agency said on Sunday, the latest in a series of arrests of human rights' activists since last year's disputed presidential election.
Tehran general prosecutor Abbas Jafari Dolatabadi said three of the lawyers were arrested when they returned from a trip to Turkey, the semi-official Fars news agency reported.
"Two other lawyers related to the three were also detained in Iran," the prosecutor told Fars.
"They have been detained for committing security-related offences and violating the Islamic Republic's moral standards outside Iran," he said, without elaborating on the charges.
Sara Sabaghian, Maryam Kian-Ersi and Maryam Karbasi were arrested at Tehran's International Imam Khomeini Airport on Saturday, the Sharq newspaper reported >>>

Not intending to denigrate anyone, but
by Raoul1955 on Tue Nov 16, 2010 07:47 AM PSTOne should try to have realistic views and expectations of a society. When a few million folks decide [in their minds] that 70+ million folks have to abandon their cultural and religious heritage for a 'foreign' culture, then many issues arise…
My suggestion to folks is to change your attitude and expectations to match the reality…
Islam does NOT recognize a set of WESTERN values labeled as 'human rights.'
OOPS

Very brave ladies! It seems to me a lot of people in Iran should be Nobel Prize candidates after Chinese dissident, Liu Xiaobo, won the Nobel Prize.

by Bavafa on Mon Nov 15, 2010 03:32 PM PSTIf this was not an extremely sad and grave situation, I would have been LMAO for this charge.
How low do they (IRI) have to go to come up with such charges?
My hat off to these brave and educated LADIES.
