Farhood Azarsina

Jailed for kissing woman's breast

Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC): A St. John's university student has been sentenced to two months in jail after sexually assaulting a student in a campus elevator. Farhood Azarsina, 25, had earlier pleaded guilty to a charge of sexual assault. He will spend another 18 days in jail, on top of time already served, a provincial court judge ruled January 28.

Azarsina pushed a woman's arms aside and then kissed one of her breasts in an incident at Memorial University's main campus last September. At the time, Azarsina admitted to the incident, but said it was "nothing serious." The Crown had asked for a three-month sentence, but judge David Orr decided on two months. Azarsina was credited with 42 days for the amount of time he had already spent in custody.

Brian Wentzell, the lawyer acting for Azarsina, a graduate engineering student from Iran, had argued for a discharge, on grounds that a conviction could hurt his client's academic career. The victim in the case told the court earlier this month that she has trouble sleeping, and that the experience was devastating.

To ShamshirH

by Anonymoose (not verified) on

What he did IS a crime, and it's called assault and battery, the unwanted, unwelcome, offensive touching, it was without permission. I'm appalled at how you try to justify this crime as merely "rude", and that he should not have gotten a jail term, because he did not "tear the girl's clothes off, didn't harm her or rape her." HE DID ASSAULT her. Your "when a comic touches an actress' breast on stage" analogy is idiotic. There you have consent on the part of the actress, that's why it's acceptable. HERE the victim did not consent to the touching; THAT IS WHY it is a crime. This has nothing to do with ethnicity, nationality, or even gender, but has to do with consent. The fact that you can't distinguish between consensual touching and non-consentual touching speaks volumes about you.

Rude Act But Not a Crime

by ShamshirH (not verified) on

Yes, he did a rude act kissing the girl's breast from over her clothes but putting him in prison is a bit overdo. He should have been suspended for 3 months or for good. He didn't tear the girl's clothes off, he didn't harm her or rape her. He just did a stupid act not thinking about it's consequences. When a comic touches an actress'es breast on stage(as happened to jamie-Lee Curtis) it's acceptible, even funny, but when an Iranian guy does it suddenly it becomes sexual harassment?
It's simply double-standards based on howmuch money and fame you have and based on your position in society.

objective and emotionally removed ethnic identity

by Iranian Ajax (not verified) on

We have to separate ourselves from the ethnic mentality that makes us defend someone BECAUSE of their national origin or some kind of ethnic kinship.

I think that Iranians are higher than what this kid Siavash has written.

We need some kind of ethnic objectivity.

It is bad enough that Iranians are getting a bad rap - why contribute to that, Siavash? Why defend Farhood? Why make this about anyone else?

Why must we further belittle ourselves and turn the tables on other people so that the actions - the terrible actions of other Iranians - in question fall out of view?

I think we are better than that. It would serve the Iranian national identity to condemn evils perpetrated by other Iranians just the same. I think an objective and emotionally removed ethnic identity would serve all Iranians well.

Farhood

by Iranian Ajax (not verified) on

I have a comment on my page about this by some kid named Kamran. Here is a copy of what he had to say. He wrote the response in Farsi but I took it upon myself to translate this.

He was responding to some guy named Siavash who tried to make Farhood's actions about Bill Clinton (HUH?)

Here is what he had to say:
==========================

Siavash do you mean to say that as Iranians we are that pathetic that we cannot even stand to say that an Iranian like Farhood has done something terrible?

Do you mean to say that in social terms, cultural terms and spiritual term that we are that contaminated that we not only defend Farhood for what he has done, but we also bring in the names of other people in the mix? Is your thinking that small? Are you that thoughtless? Are you that irresponsible?

This generation of Iranians that wander about aimlessly - like Farhood - are dragging the Iranian nationality into the sewers (I don’t know what the english word for “lajan” is - sorry).

In the same manner that we do not like those others that drag the Iranian name into the sewers, we should dislike and condemn him in kind.

But Siavash, my brother, my compatriot - your do not understand these simple words - and not only do you not understand them you do not realize them. All this talk is still too early for you to understand.

Nice going Kouroush Sassanian. You reveal yet another side of your dementia. You don't have a girlfriend and you are lonely. So you resort to express you perversions under my name. What a moron! Anyone who has read my postings would know that it was not me who posted your 'date rape' fantasies. Keep on writing and soon enough I will have your psychological profile-that is of course if you don't get arrested before that!

To All Who Believe It Is Not That Bad

by Wishful Thiker (not verified) on

I wish we, Iranians stop comparing our bad behavior with others, such as rapists, gay politicians, etc. Why not we set the highest standard of conduct for ourselves. Why not to be the role models for the rest of the world.

change in campus procedures

by Canadian College spokesman (not verified) on

due to the costs of court and student absentees we no longer offer boob kissing on campus. A hired private investigator found out that the woman who reported the incident did not have the natural breasts and her boobs are fake and made out of gelatins.
We are working on developing procedures for ass kissing rather than boob kissings. Reports have shown that there is only one artificial bottex on campus and it belongs to a student male. However, he is carrying a warning note on his rear end. Also, ass kissing will help students to develop their attitudes for future job huntings. Submit your questions at this web site.

Shame on you bunch of LAASHKHOR, who are all most probably 20 times more pervert than this idiot, yet jump on the occasion to kick this guy in the face when he's already on the floor.

I bet most of you "outraged perfect saints" would do 10 times worse if given the opportunity.

This guy has already been sentenced for his imbecility and there is no more need to lynch him like this.

You are all just a bunch of oghdeyi assholes. Hypocrites.

O.J. Simpson defence team to rescue...

by ZebelTheRebel (not verified) on

Farhood (What kind of name is that anyway?!) should have hired OJ defence team. The defence would be like this:

As far as the Einstein Reletivity theory goes motion is relative. So in fact while the girl thought he is approaching her, from his frame of reference she was the one who was approaching him!!!

End of the story folks. Now ahga Farhood can go back and do his studies!! I mean he was dumb to do it and dumber to confess to it. Akhe pessar khoob (hum!!!) hala ye gandee zadee chera deegeh eteraaf kardii?!! It would have been she said, he said and cause obviously Farhood is a kind nerd no one would have believed that he actually did it!!

Farhood should transfer to Australia. The Auzees are crazier than Canadians and he may get away with this grabbing stuff. Honestly, I am thinking about when he gets out of jail. Still he needs something to hang into!!! What's a young man to do?!!

It's tragedy all over...everyone is a victim!!

Why

by Nadar Vanaki (not verified) on

It is very likely that this woman led this young man to touch her. Her cloths were revealing and she probably asked for it. I mean I could be in jail for life for every time I was accused of date rape! I am certain he meant no harm to her. Please be real, how much harm could he have caused by kissing her breast. You people blow matters out of proportion. I find no problem with what he did. I have slapped or grabbed many women’s rears at bars with no consequence. It is terrible what has happened to young man who has fallen pray to the corruptions of the West

After all he is an Iranian ...

by Mr. R (not verified) on

The guy made a terrible mistake, no doubt about that but do you really think the act was so devastating and horrible that there is no way to forgive him and let him go back to his normal life. I do not know this guy, but if he understands the severity of his act and is deeply sorry for that, rather than lobbying to bring him down forever, some of Iranian girls that know him or live in the same city, should talk to the girl and try to improve his image in the community. Guys, the guy is young, made a terrible mistake and if he is sorry, deserves a second chance.

Farhood is not guilty. He was not breastfeeded

by sexologist (not verified) on

A study published in early October 2006 published results that “not breastfeeding” affect a child's psychology.
How could that be? many wonder, because in the past there have been several other scientific studies that have shown a negative effect of “not breastfeeding “on children.
Farhood was not breastfed and that is the problem my Airanian friends.
This study was using data from 1979 US national longitudinal survey of youth. In that, women had been asked whether they breast fed the child at all, and, if so, how old the child was when they stopped breast feeding.
In other words, the children classified as " not breastfed" in the study could have not been receiving 90% of their nutrition from their mothers, and 10% from various milks. Or 90% and 10%. Or 0% and 100%. The children were classified as "not breastfed".Drawing conclusions about the effect of not breastfeeding based on such a distinction is like drawing conclusions about the effect of smoking in a population where some people claimed to have not smoked continuously, while others said they smoked partially, occasionally, or intensively for short periods.
Farhood was mis treated in childhood and he was not given the mother's milk; hence Farhood found the woman's big breasts as an opportunity to feed himself; and not for sexual pleasure. Study have shown that many men have these kind of emotional and psychology problems and therefore they are attracted to women with large beautiful breasts, so called boobs or boobies. Farhood should be clear out of this guilt and he may continue seeing the girl who he kissed on the boobs for his final treatments. Please send a copy of this statement to Canadian court for immediate release of him.

Why Am I not surprised?

by Kiana (not verified) on

This is the result of backward culture in IRI. When these guys get out of Iran( possibly akhoondzadeh) , they think it is ok for a western woman to be fondled by a jerk like him. Why do you think being a PhD candidate makes him automatically an innocent. I would sign him up for some kind of AA for sexual addiction. Only God knows, how many times he has done that to other poor women and has gotten away with it.

by farhood (not verified) on

Well I think this story is being overwhelmingly exaggerated; Most of these college girls (read it freaking whores) spread their pussy like a fucking pig for these black bro niggars and they speak about it with pride next day to their freinds. Now this little whore is been period that day or what I have no clue, perhaps she is been on a painful period and not feeling horny that day; the poor (and also stupid) iranian guy goes and kiss her tits. well, there was easier ways to do that but even when you did it you should have never admit you have done so.

that poor PhD boob lover probably was developing a dot net web site for iranian.com and just got zapped. hehehe. we all do but we know how to take care of that sexual beast. There are congressmen who make love to undercover police (man) in the public bathroom and they go free but this poor guy didn't know the system. I'll bet he is financially poor. If he was wealthy girls were crawling all over him so he could've avoid boob kissing that girl.

Sexual Harassment II

To A, Kaseyeh Daghtar az Ash!

by Anon on

The name and picture of this guy was released to the media and was
published by the Canadian Broadcasting Channel. In a free society, the press has access to public trials and can report on matters that are of public interest. Sexual assault is a matter of public interest, which was reported by the CBC. Don't blame JJ for this guy's poor judgement. You claim he made a horrible mistake on "impulse". What, he's a 25 year old Ph.D. student, who can't control his impulses? Or does he not know the difference between right and wrong? Then his defense should have been insanity.

The fact that he's sitting there with a stupid grin on his face, and the fact that he comments on this sexual assault as "nothing serious" speaks volumes, about him and YOU! I presume you're related to this guy, baraye hamin ingadr sangesho be sine mizani, vagarne yeki bayad azat beporseh, toro sanana?

I am sure you would not be harping on this so much if the victim of the assault was your sister, your mother, or your daughter.

The judge did not order for his name and picture to be published in public forums!! This is a decision made by Mr Javid and supported by people who won't let an opportunity to trash someone else to feel better about themselves, to pass them by.

This guy just made a horrible mistake on impulse and paid for it according to the Law. It is not like he is some kind of sex predator who needs to be warned against in public!! And now the noble Iranian community is exactly portraying as such.

"""The possibility for such lapses to happen somewhere in Iran is very near by zero."""

I 'm guessing you didn't grow up in Iran, or if you did you were adopted by Akhonds jama'at, and spend your life in JAMKARAN ( Hozeyeh Ilmiheh)

"""Since in Iran the females have to be BA HEJAB...."""

What's that supposed to mean???
Ba hejab or bad hejab were assaulted and harassed in Iran by some sick basted like this guy.

You jackass, the judge DID decide his sentence, through the Canadian judicial system, not me! Did you read AND understand the article???? I am not compensating for anything; you are the one trying to absolve this guy, and downplay what he did and you are the one who keeps harping on what a good student he is, how he came to Canada to study. Momkeneh savad dashteh basheh, ama fahm va sho-oor nadareh! If he did, he wouldn't exercise such poor judgement. In the future, he should keep his nose in his own business/books, and kept his grubby little paws off women. Also, he would realize that sexual assault IS serious.

Give it a break … the guy

by OBSERVER (not verified) on

Give it a break … the guy made a stupid mistake. No doubt there was total lack of judgment, common sense, and respect for others. What even makes it worse is that it appears that he did not realize the seriousness of his actions. However lets be fair … everyday tens or hundreds of similar accidents happen. So I think people are making too big of a deal (as far as making it public) out of this whole thing. He did something wrong and he is paying for it. What else should they do to him?

And my answer to:

-if he was married?
-if she was married?
Any one knows?

Would he get more punishment when he is back in Iran?
The reality of it is if there were no witnesses probably nothing would have happened. The girl would scream or push him away and he would hit the road. Because in most cases the female would be too embarrassed to report it to the police. There is too much fear of “bi-aberoiee joloye dar o hamsaye”. Also in our society and culture when a female gets sexually harassed there is always a comments that “labod rigi be kafsehsh boode” or something along the same lines.

The other scenario is that the relatives of the female or even strangers who were passing by would become “gheirati” and beat up the guy.
If you mean legally what would have happened, my guess would be “shalagh” or maybe a fine.

Another true story...

by ABC (not verified) on

A few years back, some guy kissed a girl on the face behind one of the buildings in sharif university, not knowing that he was being seen by a few students distanced from him. The word spread and a few days later he was badly beaten by a bunch of religious students for that kiss.
