Iran jails top female reformist
2010-03-14
TEHRAN - An Iranian court has sentenced a top female reformist arrested after last year's election dispute to three years in jail for plotting to harm national security, her lawyer said on Saturday.

Azar Mansouri was arrested in September during a widespread crackdown on opposition supporters who challenged the re-election of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in June 2009. Mansouri, a senior leader from reformist political party, Islamic Iran Participation Front, was sentenced to a three-year jail term, lawyer Mohammad Reza Faghihi told ILNA news agency.

"She has been charged with disturbing public order while participating in gatherings, issuing propaganda against the regime, spreading lies and plotting to harm national security," he said, adding he had filed an appeal against the verdict.

Iranian authorities have sentenced several top reformists and political activists to varying jail terms after accusing them of acting against the regime since the election dispute erupted. In recent weeks several detainees have also been released but Iranian news reports say 10 protesters charged with participating in the post-election unrest have been sentenced to death so far.

On January 28, Iran executed Mohammad Reza Ali Zamani and Arash Rahmani Pour, two members of a monarchist group. It was unclear when they were arrested but they were put on trial along with several other post-election protesters.

#6  The origin of this artwork is the demrocratic underground.

Not exactly a haunt of Christians.

#5  I would be rather surprised if a Christian woman from Iran were to paint a picture with a nipple showing on the breast - especially if she had been raped.

The Iraqi women I've met - only a dozen or so, to be sure - were all quite body modest, even the Kurds in jeans and sweaters. I doubt the Iranians would be much different, but perhaps you've found one who is so sanguine about her rape and bondage that she would paint the subject with glowing skin and silky clean hair.

Or perhaps not.

#4  It was a painting from a woman that got out of jail about her ordeal.

But since the leftist Bourgeois-Bohemes find justification for everything muslims do...

Talk about a fate worse than death.
