US propaganda?

Iran - Facts on Trafficking and Prostitution
Any woman that is commited of adultry is stoned in iran,it is not just prostitutes.That is their religon and beliefs i am afraid.
I have lived a life of regrets.
i am afraid has two meaning there.
it's so terrifying. Stoning also happens in Somalia, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, and Sudan.
and yep every woman who has apparently committed adultery is stoned. the most shocking case i read about was in 2008, when a 13 year old girl was gang raped, reported it, but then because there were more of them than her, and they were 'witnesses', she was the guilty one and stoned in a football stadium filled with nearly a thousand people, with carts full of stones moving through the crowds so everyone could get a handful. she had to be forced in the hole, she was crying and begging. she was taken out at one point when they thought she was dead, a nurse checked, she was still barely alive, so she was put back in and the stoning continued. and this was in 2008.
a good film to watch which will get you all fired up and ready to write a million letters for Amnesty is 'The Stoning of Soraya M'. It's a true story as well, which really shows you how warped their justice system is, and how corrupt.
well sorry for that rant, night folks.

i dont get why you felt the need to mention the plight of women in Iran tbh rover. Nobody here has punted there (id say) and there is not much any of us can do about it as horrible as it is.
it's not much but it's something you can do.
