This release, though very welcome, is a naked PR gesture on the part of the IRI. They know their image outside Iran is very bad. This event is calculated to take heat of the régime and buy time to close what gates are still open to freedom. The brutal rapists and sadistic butchers who “guard” the prisoners in Evin and other prisons inside Iran are still up to their same old tricks. What happens inside Iran’s prisons makes those in other countries look like palaces by comparison. The crimes committed by the rulers of Iran and their minions against the people of Iran are systematically being exposed despite repeated efforts to control the flow of information out of and into the country. But the world has yet to respond to these revelations. Remember Darfur? How much longer beyond the 30 years already past will the world stand by and silently allow Persia’s intelligent, gifted and passionate people to be slaughtered?????
Truth forever on the scaffold,
Wrong forever on the throne,
But the scaffold sways the future
And behind the dim unknown
Standeth God within the shadows,
Keeping watch, keeping watch above His own”
- James Russell Lowell
Unfortunately, all of the countries that could do something are run by leftists who are unwilling to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries - except for Honduras.
Are we all tipy-toeing around the fact that they did not spend a quiet nine months in Evin? that they have been raped, gang raped, trotured to make them convert back to Islam?
Am I being too cnical to think they are so badly battered that their release MIGHT be to avoid either of them or both dying in prison, wheras now their death announcement (God forbid) can be censored and not appear?
While they and their families are inside Islamic Iran, their silence is almost certain, so their release is a blessing for them but until we know what their phsysical status is, it may not be anything more thatn the regime hiding what was done to them.
And Obama could not care less and contiues to want tea and chat with these regime of monsters as if they were acceptable people.
