Iran wins seats on four UN commissions, a considerable achievement for the Islamic Republic as two of the organizations deal with global human rights issues.
The commissions include the high profile UN commission on the Status of Women (UNCSW) and the world body's Human Settlements Program, also known as UN-HABITAT.
The two others are the Commission on Science and Technology for Development (CSTD) and the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (UNPFII).

Over 2000 women have been hanged by Iran since Islamic revolution of 1979. The women include:
10 Bahá’ religious women hanged in Shiraz Iran in 1983 after they refused to renounce their religion and become Muslims – Mona Mahmudnizhad, who was just 17 years old, 23 year old Roya Ishraqi, a promising veterinary student, was executed with her 50 year old mother, Izzad Janami Ishraqi, 20 year old Akhtar Sabit, a graduate nurse, 28 year old Mahshid Nirumand a physics graduate from the University of Shiraz, Shirin Dalvand 25 years old, Tahirih Siyavushi a 32 year old nurse, 20 year old Simin Sabiri, Zarrin Muqimi and the oldest 54 year old Mrs Nosrat Yalda’I.
Another Neda was Dina Parnabi an Iranian high school student, accused of smuggling forbidden literature and criticising the regime in her talks with her classmates. She was hanged on the 10th of July 1984 in a Teheran prison. The hanging was done in private and after the execution was over, her body was stripped, washed and delivered for dissection at medical school.
16 year old Atefeh Rajabi was hanged in public in the town of Neka Atefeh. Atefeh was executed for “engaging in acts incompatible with chastity.” At the place of execution in the town’s square, the judge personally put the rope around the girl’s neck and gave the signal to the crane operator to begin her hanging. Witnesses reported that she begged for mercy and had to be dragged kicking and screaming to the execution truck. Judge Haji Rezaie said he was pleased to hang her and is quoted as saying, “Society has to be kept safe from acts against public morality.” Her body was left dangling from the crane for some time so people could see what happened to teenagers who committed acts incompatible with chastity.
187 of these first Neda’s were under the age of 18, with 9 girls under the age of 13. The youngest girl executed was just 10 years old. Thirty two of these women were reported to have been pregnant at the time of their execution. Many of those executed were high school and college students. Hanging is the most common method of execution for women, although some are shot. Men and women were hanged in large groups in Tehran prisons from cranes and forklift trucks. Each crane jib or forklift had a wooden or steel beam to which the noose was attached and when the preparations were complete, the prisoners were simply hoisted into the air.
Under Revolutionary law, young girls who were sentenced to death could not be executed if they were still virgins.
Thus, they were “married off” to Revolutionary Guards and prison officials in temporary marriages and then raped before their execution, to prevent them going to heaven. The Mullahs believed that these women were ungodly and did not deserve paradise in the next life and that if they were deprived of their virginity, it would ensure that they went to hell. Therefore, on the night prior to execution, the condemned girl was injected with a tranquilliser and then raped by her guard(s). After the execution,the religious judge at the prison would write out a marriage certificate and send it to the victim’s family along with a box of sweets.

The crazy thing is Bahais ARE Muslims. The only thing between Bahais and Muslims is that Bahais don’t want all Jews to die. I know; I’ve been to Bahai meetings even.

Women With Suntans Will Be Arrested, Iran Police Chief Warns
The warning follows recent comments made by a hard-line Iranian cleric, who claimed women dressed in revealing clothing were disturbing young men and causing earthquakes.
Women with suntans are violating Islamic law and will be arrested in Iran, the capital city’s police chief was reported by The Daily Telegraph as saying Wednesday.
“The public expects us to act firmly and swiftly if we see any social misbehavior by women, and men, who defy our Islamic values,” Brigadier Hossien Sajedinia said.
“In some areas of north Tehran we can see many suntanned women and young girls who look like walking mannequins,” he continued. “We are not going to tolerate this situation and will first warn those found in this manner and then arrest and imprison them.”
The warning follows recent comments made by a hard-line Iranian cleric, who claimed women dressed in revealing clothing were disturbing young men and causing earthquakes.
A preacher has also told the residents of Iran’s capital Tehran to leave the city.
“Go on the streets and repent for your sins. A holy torment is upon us. Leave town,” said Ayatollah Aziz Khoshvaqt during a recent sermon in northern Tehran.
It’s a continuation to the path of WWIII in the Middle East.
