Excerpt -

They were busted in early November because women are not allowed to dance in public in Iran, let alone with a man, Agence France-Presse said.

Haghighi also appeared in the video without a headscarf, in solidarity with protests over the September death of Mahsa Amini, 22, after her arrest for not abiding by strict hijab rules.

Haghighi and her beau were this week each sentenced to 10 1/2 years in prison by a revolutionary court in Tehran,...

It wasn’t that way in early 1977.

“It wasn’t that way in early 1977.”

That was before Jimmah Cahtah doused the place with gas and threw a lit match in for good measure.

Jimmy Carter, the Clintons, George Soros, the Obamas, John Kerry and more. All proof that only the good die young.

I was in Esfahan, Iran during that time. Protest would just spring up out of nowhere. It was an interesting and dangerous time to say the least. Before I left Iran, a few people that I had worked with were executed by the Revolutionary Forces.

Wow. So it’s personal for you instead of us watching it on the news. Especially with coworkers being murdered by the crazies.
Glad YOU made it out okay.

The family of the surgeon who undeviated my septum was from Iran. He said his family got out just ahead of the real craziness. He was born here. Said some of his family that remained didn’t duck low enough and ended up being executed. Probably plenty of families with that story.
