Iranian authorities arrest actress of Oscar-winning movie

Iran's nightmare of religiosity, hypocrisy and "corruption on earth" will never end and the people never be free until the last cruel mullah is strangled with the intestines of their last brutal henchmen. May freedom come soon!

t least 495 people have been killed in the demonstrations amid a harsh security crackdown

Demonstrators killed, harsh security crackdowns, the Iranian regime, along with Putin's, the CCP's and North Korea's are cheered on by anti-west-/anti-democracy herds.

Authoritarian govts are bad for human happiness. Using religion as the reason to remain in power is shallow and not moral.

It’s worse now than it was under the Shah.

Hopefully this younger, more tolerant generation of Iranians will get a more progressive government they desire.

Stormcrow,

I share your sentiments , but unfortunately the majority of the rural and conservative members of the population actually support the Islamist regime.

They are convinced that the recent protests in Iran are driven, funded and secretly supported by the U.S.

You and I know that there is not a shadow of truth in that claim.

Iranian women's rights are being claimed loudly and deserve to be heard by Iranian authorities. All support for those fighting for Human Rights in Iran!

Iranian Women tend to be quite attractive, it is a shame that they have to conceal themselves nowadays due to such misguided piety dictated by a few.

Hoping they will show her some lenience, and maybe allow her to live somewhere safely.
