MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM IRAN

Two young gay men recently hanged for "other" charges, including "thuggery". They were condemend to death while in their mid-teens and imprisoned till they reached 18 - then hanged to "appease" the West.

More "thugs" die together

Five "thugs" hang in Mashhad a religious city in North East Iran and where the tomb of Imam Reza (Shia saint of miracles) is located.


According to the Islamic regime, "thugs" = anyone disobeying the regime, being gay, being openly displeased with the Mullah regime, protesting (even peacefully) the total lack of human rights, having political beliefs of any kind except Mullocracy, asking for social freedoms, being a Moslem of a different denomination, such as a Sunni, Bahai or Sufi. Or God forbid, being a Christian or Jew. Having Western style haircuts, wearing disapproved Western clothes, etc., etc., etc.


Please note the clothes on the five executed men . Four of them are wearing the baggy pants of local tribal people, some of whom in that region are Sunnis and many of them traditionally fierce fighters and inclined to live an independent life.

Forbidden boots which "arouse" men

(and allow jailers to rape the wearers and all females)

Again on clothes, women wearing knee length boots, even in snow, and/or a fur hat or similar warm head gear instead of a head scarf, began being arrested in droves for Un-Islamic apparel.


About 90% of women arrested for whatever reason, bitterly complain of being raped, often repeatedly by multiple jailers, while in custody.

Intent - beyond lascivious pleasure for the jailers - is to scare them into not doing anything, no matter how insignificant, to avoid another arrest AND to insult their menfolk and terrify them into submission to protect their women.


The photo of five men hanging is quite modest by Islamic Iran standards where they have had "L" or "U" shaped, light tables set up and as many as 16 men stood on them with a noose around their necks. The tables are then pulled from under them by guards at either end.

LAST MOMENTS OF A 14-YEAR OLD WHO ANNOYED AN ISLAMIC JUDGE FOR BEING "SASSY" BY VERBALLY DEFENDING HERSELF (TRUE STORY). She was lulled into not struggling by being told in a whisper this was just being done to scare her in public and that she was not going to be REALLY hanged.

The judge who condemned her personally placed the noose on her and gave the treacherous signal she was not expecting, to string her up.

He wanted her dead so that nobody could prove she was really only 14-years old not 16, as he had claimed in his legal presentation, to inflict the death sentence. Her body disappeared shortly afterward. So did he.

Hard to maintain a happy Xmas spirit when all this happens in the name of religion, even though it is a religion of body pieces, not of Christian peace and kindness.
