Tehran, Iran, Mar. 02 – Iran’s State Security Forces attacked female football fans in Tehran on Wednesday after they held a defiant protest against the government decision to ban women from football stadiums.
Dozens of young women, who had bought tickets and hoped to cheer on their national team, were all banned from entering Tehran’s Azadi Stadium. The ban has been in force for years, but a few dozen women have challenged it in recent months. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s hard-line government recently decided to enforce the ban more strongly.
After being refused entry into the stands, the women organised a demonstration outside the stadium and quickly brought to the scene banners which read, “Azadi Stadium: 100,000 men-only arena” and “We also want to cheer on our national team”
They were immediately threatened with arrest by police who had been placed on standby.
Within minutes, the security forces started to attack the teenage girls and young women. They were all forced into a bus and driven away.
what? No football match? That means half the stadium in Ann Arbor will be empty.
The new 'Disappeared'?
Hey American Lib Women.....
coming soon to a stadium in your hometown if you keep appeasing the Islamofascists! (uh, you still don't get it do you?)
Where is NOW?
ROFLMAO.....
I think all the fems need to get on a plane and head over there at this very minute. I'm willing to buy 1 airline ticket for 1 of them....my gift to their movement.
lol
There's a real social revolution coming to the Islamic republics of Persia and the Middle East and there's not much the reactionaries can do about it.
Women deserve and require full human rights. Not that the UN or US feminists or Hillary Clinton care much about their lack of rights.
It might take fifty or a hundred years but it will happen.
Deep in the third quarter it usually half-empty.
(Unless it is a REALLY close game)
Of course the NOW gang will remain quiet.
Where's Oprah when you need her?
Yeah, the NOW gang will remain quiet about this because they are too busy stumping for a woman's right to kill an unborn baby right up to the moment of birth. No time to worry about places where women are *really* second-class citizens.
Yes, persons everywhere deserve full human rights. Unfortunately, the feminists define "human rights" for women as the right to kill their offspring.
Islam is a religion of tolerance.
These Iranian women soccer fans have shown more raw GUTS and raw DECENCY in 10 minutes than the entire American feminist movement has shown in 30 years.
And the American feminists will continue to shun their Iranian "sisters" and continue to appease the loony Imams.
Forced on a bus , driven away and shot.
barefoot and pregnant, praise allah.
filthy religion, filthy and disgusting.
ask me how I really feel.
That's pretty cool. The few Iranians I have met in my life have been some of the nicest people I've ever met.
Sometimes I think it takes living *without* freedom to really appreciate having it. These folks sure did.
This may do more to collapse the Mullahs than any outside influence could.
