TEHRAN, Iran – A young French academic and local staff of the British and French embassies stood trial Saturday with dozens of Iranian opposition figures and confessed to being involved in the country's postelection unrest.

Iran's opposition and rights groups have condemned the trial as a sham and say such confessions are coerced and scripted. Britain, which seemed caught off guard by the appearance of its embassy employee, called it an outrage.

LOL! Is this the same Britain whose armed Navy stood by and watched while Iranians kidnapped its people on the high seas?

Surprised?? LOL!
Watch your mouth, Brits.
They may order your politicians to come to Iran to stand trail - Think I'm joking?

And they would go!

They will prostrate themselves in front of the Big Men of the New Caliphate and beg forgiveness, because that's what kind of people they are.

French language teaching assistant Clotilde Reiss, age 23. She is a French citizen. French citizen Clotilde Reiss was charged with "acting against national security by taking part in unrest ... collecting news and information and sending pictures of the unrest abroad," state news agency IRNA said. Espionage and acting against national security are punishable by death under Iran's Islamic law.

Her crime is this:

Iran alleges that Ms Reiss took a photograph with her mobile telephone of demonstrations in Isfahan against the re-election of President Ahmadinejad and e-mailed it to a friend in Tehran.

Oh come now. You can't say Iran's mullah-theocracy election is lawful, give Iran recognition on the world stage, a seat at the UN's international body (of elitist Marxist wanna-be global governance) then say their justice system is flawed, admissions of guilt are "coerced and scripted".

You either condemn the Mullah-theocracy, list those murderous Islamic fundamentalist nutjobs as a dangerous threat to it's people and the world and ban it from being able to do ANY trade with ALL countries, or selling ANY oil to the world market place.

Then either invade the place and clean up the threats to the world it's nuclear arsenal is, or wait till it's people revolt from within after being cut of from the rest of civilization for a while, not that they aren't already considering Islam is still functioning as if it's still in the 7th century.

This is why the world is heading back into the dark ages of it's pagan lawlessness and tyrant infested past; liberal- nanny statism, anti-war leftist moonbats think that sticking their heads in the sand will make all the tyrants of the world go away if you just leave them alone and ignore them.

Iran has been behind nearly all Islamic fundamentalist terrorism for the past 20 years or more, in one way or another, either directly or indirectly by funding and supplying arms to terrorist groups, even if they are Iran's potential enemies.

The UN is also a Islamic fundamentalist infested, corrupt and useless organization. Worldwide terrorism and other tyrants will continue to flourish and grow all over the world unless the western world wakes up and gets it's act together and starts cleaning up this mess it has created from years of liberalism ignoring this growing evil.

It needs to re-commit vast military resources under it's NATO obligations and start cleaning up the cancer it has allowed to flourish all over the world, beginning with Iran, otherwise Western and eastern Europe will cease to exist in the very near future if it ignores the military build up of Iran and the other tyrant run states surrounding it.

I'm afraid this is about as likely as colonizing Pluto however. Therefore we can only look forward to growing unrest in the world, leading to the vast destruction predicted in the bible, which was caused by the western worlds unwillingness to confront the tyrants of the world.

Yep! In fact it's a safe and certain bet you can't loose. The UK is already lost, they just don't know it yet. France, Germany, Spain, and the rest of Europe isn't far behind, and we are catching up rapidly with Obama in the WH.
