Iran: Human rights lawyer arrested, taken to prison known as ‘hell on earth’ after defending anti-hijab protesters

No cares if you wear the hijab. No one cares if you wear purple hair, for that matter. But in Iran and elsewhere in the Islamic world, women are forced to wear the hijab, beaten and/or arrested if they don’t. The punishment these courageous women in Iran are now facing is a stunning indictment of the hypocrisy of the evil left in the West, with its World Hijab Day and promotion of the hijab as a “choice.” The real “feminists” are fighting for a fraction, a sliver of the freedoms their Western “sisters” enjoy.

Remember: this is the country the Democrats are fighting for, opposing President Trump’s efforts to stop them from nuclear arming.

“Human rights lawyer is arrested and taken to Iran’s notorious Evin prison known as ‘hell on earth’ after defending anti-hijab protesters,” by George Martin, Mailonline, June 13, 2018:

Iran’s award-winning human rights lawyer Nasrin Sotoudeh was arrested on Wednesday, her husband said in a Facebook post.

‘A few hours ago Nasrin was arrested at home and transferred to Evin,’ Tehran’s notorious prison where many political prisoners are held, her husband Reza Khandan wrote.

Sotoudeh, 55, one of the few outspoken advocates for human rights in Iran, recently represented several women arrested for protesting against the mandatory wearing of headscarves.

Tehran police said in February that 29 women had been detained for posing in public without their headscarves in the previous weeks.

Khandan’s Facebook message was defiant, saying: ‘I once told interrogators in the interrogating room: “Of all the things the authorities should do for their country, you only know one and that is arresting people.”‘…

Typical mullahcracy that Dems support .

Dems were paid by Iranian lobbyists to support Nuke deal http://tinyurl.com/mcake4d

And their holdovers still support it.

Exactly, Suresh, the Democrats and their leftist Sharia wannabes are doing their utmost to drag America into Islam’s Dark-Age. Corruption and sedition within that fetid network of politicos and imbecilic drones is blatant; yet, they continue to betray the Republic and evade prosecution.

This is what happens when you allow Islam to grow and take over your country, they turn your life into hell on Earth. How can you fight for human rights when your gov’t leaders doesn’t believe in them? It’s suicidal and dangerous.

What Iranians should be doing is smuggling in weapons and we non-Muslim countries should be supplying them. So that one day they can organize and overthrow their regime and defenders.

Making big displays of defiance (like throwing off the hijab) will only land you in their jails and get your tortured, raped and killed. It’s one thing to be brave-that’s when the odds are in your favor. Courage in the face of certain death is just stupidity.

Unless she pulled this stunt with 200 well armed people hiding and when the religious police showed up to arrest her and the freedom-fighters mowed them down, then you have progress.

The Iranian people far outnumber the regime and its supporters, if only they organized it wouldn’t take more than a million or two of them to take power back.

Iran is becoming like England; except no one defends Robinson thrown into the hell prison with Arab murderers. So Iran is still slightly better than the cradle of Western European “democracy”. In my view Trump should dissociate the US from such allies as England and subject it to economic sanctions. .

All tyrants are sick and madmen. We have them here in the form of Demoncraps. But thank G*d, we also have the ARMED American citizen and a Bible-based Constitution, which quarantines their disease from spreading.

God willing, Persia will be free one day…from the Islamic Republic and from Islam itself.
