In commemoration of International Womens Day, human rights activists have prepared a report on the condition of Iranian women and the widespread oppression on Iranian citizens during the year 2005.
Using this set of statitstics on women only, indicates a minute part of the tragic and intolerable conditions that Iranians are subjected to under the boot of the present rulers. The statistics shown below are the scant number of cases that the regime itself partially admits to, in its own media. Note that there are three separate networks of law enforcement, secret police, and nationwide sets of prisons governed by these self-reporting groups:
The arrested: (women only)
Political activists = 18 cases Summoned to intelligence agencies = 11 cases Indictments = 11 cases Issued sentences = 4 cases Issued execution sentences = 19 cases Executions = 4 cases Collective arrests = 1372

Womens' website that were filtered and blocked:
Zan'eh Iran (Iran's Woman) Kaanoon'eh Zanaan'eh Iran (The Society of Iranian Women) Tribun'eh Feministi Zanaan'eh Iran Jahan (The Women of Iran's World)
The above numbers can safely be estimated to be about a third of the real facts on women, as the various "enforcement" groups never publish their statistics and operate under strict secrecy. A correlation ratio of men to women would probably show that men, in multiples of tens more than women, have faced the same treatment.
Rape and murder your women....Muslims.....but holy hell if you touch a goat!

"72 for lewdness"

Pity woman. Why religion hate woman? why woman to be insult, curse, murder and many negative? it is very sad to see this. "Death to the Murderer! Death to insult profane God name!!! Death to who leading to SIN!!!
Shameful is what it is.
If we didn't have nutcases like those how would we know we are sane?
