INJUSTICE

Images of Camp Ashraf

We must stand up when injustice is staring us in the face

03-Aug-2009 (43 comments)
The disturbing images of Iranians being threatened and beaten and killed has become all too common these days on all the online media. When I see baton-wielding men in uniform beating civilians, wherever they are from, I am disheartened. When I see that the victims are from my own country, I see in their faces my sister, my mother, my aunts and uncles and grandparents, and I am sickened. On July 28, 2009, Iraqi forces stormed Camp Ashraf, the compound of the Mujahideen Khalq Organization since 1986. Seven members of the organization were killed, and the number of those injured is still unclear, but likely very high. Dozens of members have been taken into custody for questioning. The headquarters that houses some 3400 Iranian men, women, and children, had been under the protection of the U.S. government>>>

Scent of a woman

The Hollywood nose reigns supreme

My grandmother had a big nose. In some ways, she was a big nose that happened to have a body attached to it. Her nose was far bigger than Shruti Haasan’s nose. The actress’s former nose, that is. Even with surgery – and then more surgery – my grandmother’s nose would be bigger than Ms Haasan’s former nose. “I had a medical condition that restricted free breathing,” the 23-year-old told this paper the other week. “Now, post the surgery, I can finally sleep in peace and it has also enhanced my vocal skills. The said condition is called a deviated septum – the reason Ranbir Kapoor's parents are reportedly nudging him to go under the knife. The actor, however, is refusing to budge (or, at least, his nose is). According to bloggers, he's happy with his “crooked” piece and doesn’t need a “straight” one>>>

مادر بزرگ احساس کرد مامور جوانی در وسط خیابان افتاده و پسران و دختران خشمگین بر سر و تنش می کوبند

مادر بزرگ با علاقه وی را به داخل خواند و در حالی که پلیس جوان نا نداشت قدم از قدم بردارد، یقه کت نظامیش را گرفت و تمام هیکل جوان را به داخل کشید. در مقابل اعتراض بقیه که می گفتند : مادر! مواظب باش ! خطرناکه ! اصلاً توجهی نکرد. خانم طباطبایی دوباره اعتماد به نفسش را باز یافت. دست انداخت گردن پلیس و او را که نمی توانست راه برود تا پای آسانسور برد. با مهربانی و مهارت یک پرستار وی را از آسانسور پیاده کرده و داخل آپارتمان برد. داخل اطاق پذیرایی ، روی کاناپه خوابانید. برای روحیه دادن به پلیس شروع به حرافی کرد. اول از همه اسمش را پرسید. گفتی که هوشنگی چه خوب من هم یک نوه دارم هم اسم تو. راستی چند ماه خدمتی؟ کی ترخیص می شوی؟ از این بالا نگاه میکردم ، خیلی دست و پا چلفتی هستی. اینها چیه به خودت آویزان کرده ای؟ >>>

First they came for monarchists

Then they came for Kurds
and I did not speak because I was not a Kurd

Then they came for the left
