HUMAN RIGHTS

Why should we care?

Since the June 2009 elections, human rights abuses have taken a different turn

11-Jul-2010 (48 comments)
When we visited the Iranian Interest Section in Washington, D.C., as part of a delegation with spokespersons from Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch to protest the arrest and illegal imprisonment of an Iranian-Canadian scholar, one of the Iranian officials -- a Khatami supporter -- thanked us for taking on the noble cause of defending political prisoners. As I left the premises, I told him, “God forbid, if you end up in jail one day, we will defend you as well.” He smiled. I smiled too. But I meant it.>>>

DEMAND

Let Sakineh Go Free!

Judge not the rites of the Islamic Republic, whose calendar is still in the 1300s

Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani is 43 years old. A prisoner in Tabriz, she has been sentenced to death by lapidation (stoning) for the crime of zena mohassaneh. What the fuck is that, do you ask? Well, as far I can figure out it means that she had sex with a married woman! If that is true, then Mahmood the Motor-Mouth may want to revisit his statement at Columbia University a few years ago as to the absence of homosexuality in the Islamic Republic! But seriously, folks - I do know if zena is good or bad – I suppose that depends on the cuntext! >>>

Mr. Yousef al-Otaiba, by advocating preemptive war against 73 million Iranians, you have placed the UAE government at the service of the most rabid Zionists and pro-war mongers>>>

BAHAIS

شرمندگی با صدای بلند

می‌خواهم با صدای بلند به تمام بهائیان ایران بگویم که بابت آنچه تا به حال برآنها رفته عمیقا متاسفم

11-Jul-2010 (12 comments)
از بهایی‌ها چندان چیزی نمی‌دانم و برخورد زیادی هم با آنها نداشته‌ام. شاید بارزترین آنها مربوط به پژمان باشد. پسری که در کوچه پشتی ما زندگی می‌کرد و بر خلاف اکثر ما مشهدی‌ها لهجه “تهرونی” داشت. قصه‌گوی نمایش بود. بعد از چندی او و چند تا از بچه‌ها از گروه کنار گذاشته شدند و نقش قصه‌گو را به من دادند. حذف پژمان دلیلی نداشت جز آنچه که سال‌ها بعد فهمیدم: پژمان “بهایی” بود>>>

First Knights

European knights can be traced from little known Iranian cataphracts

11-Jul-2010 (4 comments)
Cataphracts or cataphracti were a form of very heavy cavalry that served as an elite they also served as an assault force, primarily used for impetuous charges to break through infantry and some forms of light cavalry formations. Some historians refer to them as the first knights because they wore heavy shining amour and were made up of the aristocracy. Iranians used cataphract cavalry for almost 1,200 years from antiquity to medieval era>>>
