She is paying with her life ....

by darius on

She is   one of  the thousands  victim of those " anghlabions of 1979" that  now  are residing in West , selling out their soul, their country , the people that claim to be Hamvatan and day in day out preaching others . I promise you these Anghlabion have better upgrade for all of us, just wait and see . Bring them to justice along with IRI , make them accountable for thier historical mistake , selfishness and arrogance .

You are very kind and I truly appreciate it. Someday I sincerely hope to draw more about happier, lighter subject matters.

dear talented Kaveh: I'm not surprised about your ambivalence. Do not fret. It is what they call black sense of humor. You are so very talented and I hope you get the recognition you deserve someday. Thank you for your hard work. 

"History Summary, quite complex, multi layered as well as deeply personal. You are a very sensitive soul.

I can not upload high quality images on iranian.com so the details are lost and can lead to misinterpretations hence the reason for links to my own original blog as well as Facebook :)

as well.   About the quote by Solzhenistyn,  here is my latest cartoon called "History Summary" on my original blog, also on Facebook.  It is such a true statement.

Thank you Yolanda for

Thank you Yolanda for posting that news item. Violence has become institutionalized systematically throughout IRI's reign of terror.

Right now (dec 26, 6:06 pm, California time), the Sakineh story ranks #3 on CNN:

//www.cnn.com/

Last new year day, IRI executed 12 in one day if I remember correctly!

IRI's mind-set is that if they don't execute Sakineh, it makes them feel that they have bowed to foreign pressure....they have kowtowed to the West! "Compassion and Merciful" is last thing on their mind!

Don't know whether to weep

Don't know whether to weep or laugh. What a tragic irony.

Thanks.....

by پندارنیک on

I can recognize the hole now............not the first time for my faulty perception!


KavehAhangarAdel

Thanks yolanda and Divaneh.....

by KavehAhangarAdel on

I am sadened as well (at a loss for words) which explains my extreme angle on this issue. And I agree with  پندارنیک that savagery of thought and laws are still present.  By the way, that is a hole in the ground that has been figuratively dug up for her in case they want to still revert back to the Stoning.

پندارنیک

Of savagery

by پندارنیک on

What's that piece on the ground next to the heap of stones? An out-of-proportion broken pen, a severed arm?............

The barbarity of Sakina's (non)judicial saga has already marked the ruling faction of the IRI as outdated and poisonous.

I second Yolanda. Thanks for sharing Kaveh.

Thank you, Kaveh, for your cartoon! The whole thing makes me really sad! The whole world wanted to save this lady's life, but she still has to die! IRI acted like that she is so gracious that she will carry out less cruel method of execution. I am hoping that the intense media coverage of this latest development can halt the execution! My prayer is with Sakineh and her 2 kids!
