Iran: Dissidents receive email death threats
(AKI) - Dozens of feminists, human rights activists, student leaders and journalists in Iran have received an email death threat in the last few days. The emails tell the recipients they have been targeted for their anti-Islamic activities and are told they are included on a list with those who deny their faith. They have been signed by the "martyrdom volunteers".Most of the recipients of these emails are women. One of them who asked to remain anonymous said she had to take the threats very seriously. "It is the common impression that the growth of the feminist movement in Iran and the strong presence of women in civil society annoys someone, and perhaps many, who want to stop us by intimidation," she said.
