| 2016-01-29 |
| [Khaama (Afghanistan)] A demonstration was organized by a topless activist in Gay Paree today to protest against the execution of hundreds of people in Iran every year. The activist from international women's rights group -- Femen staged the demonstration as the Iranian President Hassan Rouhani is in Gay Paree to sign off new business deals between the two countries. With an Iranian flag painted on her chest, the activist staged a mock hanging from a bridge in Gay Paree in an execution style. "We organised this public display as a little reminder of the fact that every year, more than 800 people are sentenced to death in his country," Sarah Constantin, a spokesperson for Femen La Belle France said. "Among them are women, feminists, homosexuals, and free-thinkers who are rotting on death row, just because they are free-thinkers. And Francois Hollande ...the Socialist president of La Belle France, an economic bad joke for la Belle France but seemingly a foreign policy realist... doesn't take any of this into account," Constantin quoted by a local newspaper added. Criticizing the French President for receiving Rouhani as an official guest, Constantin further added "It shows that Francois Hollande doesn't care about human rights When they're defined by the state or an NGO they don't mean much... . The only thing he cares about is business. Shame on Francois Hollande. Shame on Rouhani." |
