Topless Ukrainians Protest Stoning

Women target Iranian cultural event

A group of female protesters went topless in Ukraine at an event promoting Iranian culture, to demonstrate against the death sentence handed down to a woman in Iran for murder and adultery. Five members of the Ukrainian group Femen tore off their clothing and shouted slogans against what they called court-sanctioned murder during the event at Kiev's Ukrainian House convention centre, which featured hundreds of Ukrainian and Iranian dignitaries. 'Don't kill women!' one Femen activist shouted. Security guards expelled the protesters after a scuffle. The case of Sakineh Mohammadi-Ashtiani, who has been sentenced to death by stoning, has sparked international protests. Iranian authorities have said that her case is under review. Femen is one of Ukraine's best-known political action groups. Its members routinely take their clothes off to draw attention to their causes, which include equal rights for women and the introduction of a Western-style government in Ukraine.

Boobs Not Big Enough to Make a Change

by HHH on Tue Nov 23, 2010 11:02 PM PST

To save president-Sakineh we need a 42D or larger boobs. These are no larger than Rafsanjani's boobs. At best these can free a simple burglary convict.

that was a good answer.  It's possible that her husband was an abusive jerk.

No!

I am not saying that, do you know why she did it? I don't! But, clearly, you must know about the social restrictions imposed on women and the barbaric laws imposed on them by the IR authorities. Do you think Sakine's case is unique? It's about the circumstances under which she acted. That's the question, and for the IR judiciary to make an example every now on then [to put fears into hearts and minds of it's citizens] by convicting people to stoning makes me sick to my stomach.

Respectfully -F

So you say her husband is still alive and there was no other man involved. Even her first attorney confirmed that she had extramarital affair and hands in killing her husband.

you were never there, you will never know! just because someone's been convicted in a court of law of shameless Islamic Republic doesn't mean she/he is guilty, beside the judiciary in Iran is complete farce!

kooshan 

do you know that for a fact? or is it your prejudice on display?

these women are very brave compared to most Iranian men living inside or outside Iran, and do you remember brave Iranian women's participation in 2009 post election protests?

No to stoning

but she deserves death by legal injection or fire squad. She commited two great sins.She would be executed anywhere else not just Iran.

As Mr. Ghiassi said, lets support other innocent people who are in jail or  killed due to their ideology, religion or their political activities.

What is about Mona and the other 9 women are killed in Shiraz?

by Amir Sahameddin Ghiassi on Tue Nov 23, 2010 09:12 AM PST

Mona has no crime, the only crime she did , she was born in a Bahai family and she was the teacher of Friday Bahai class. Why she and the other innocent peopel are not supported?

If this is some sort of a metaphor for protesting against Miss. Sakineh conviction and planned brutal and criminal punishment.

I would think these help against Miss. Sakineh cause then help at all.

All these Ukranian women just gave the mullahs a serious wood, nothing else.

If Sakineh planned and

by Kooshan on Tue Nov 23, 2010 12:23 AM PST

If Sakineh planned and personally aided her husband death with her lover, she deserves capital punishment.

 

It is easy to hire this kind of protestor hourly in Ukrine!

Unfortunate For The Nation of Iran

by Broadcaster on Mon Nov 22, 2010 10:00 PM PST

That you are the representative of its hope for its future.

When some foreigners are baring their chests volinteering to receive punishment  for the women of your country, you! like a mouse are hiding behind your computer making sniding remarks about the galant woman's breast.

Calling you an animal will be a dishonour to the animal kingdom.
