Women and the Tenth Administration
Friday 08 May 09
The demands of Iranian women are not limited to legal reforms. The breadth of the demands is such that the three branches of Legislative, Judiciary and Executive have duties and responsibilities for securing it. With great difficulties and hefty prices paid, women have thus far been able to express their legal demands to the effective law making individuals and bodies. Now that the election and formation of the tenth administration is on the way, it is time for women to request that the candidates publish their plans with respect to the particular problems faced by the female half of the population.
The Death Penalty
Friday 08 May 09
The AI report says that eight of those executed in Iran had committed crimes before they had reached the age of 18. The methods used to execute the court orders in Iran were hanging by rope and stoning, which are inhuman. One can add to the comments made in the AI report that in most countries that support the capital punishment, there are continuous efforts through scientific quarters to find ways to reduce the pain caused to those who face such a fate.
