Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6TEHRAN (Reuters) - Four women's rights activists were arrested on Monday for collecting signatures for a campaign demanding equal legal rights for women in Iran, an Iranian news agency reported.
The ILNA news agency said the women were collecting names for a so-called "one million signature campaign" demanding changes in what activists say are discriminatory laws against women in the Islamic Republic.
Rest of it there. http://uk.reuters.com/article/idUKBLA25833620070402
Yes there was a rumour going around at the end of March that the USA would launch a sneak assault against Iran right about now, Friday 6th April. Looks like that attack might not be occurring after all.
It does seem as though a USA strike against Iran is imminent, however. They have been increasing their military presence in the Persian gulf. It's likely we'll see an attack soon.
What are you saying? That we should endorse a US attack on Iran as act of solidarity with Iranian feminists? That the US is attacking Iran for their benefit and the benefit of the Iranian resistance?
This is exactly the type of ‘the enemy of my enemy is my friend’ rubbish that will only help accelerate an illegal attack on Iran and exacerbate the chaos in Iraq.
Be careful what you wish for.
I thought it was just a comment on whats happening. An attack on Iran certainly would not help Iranian women. Bombs do not discriminate.
Unreserved apologies if I misread the post. It was just its juxtaposition to the previous post on the Iranian feminists struggle that gave me the impression it was a call for support of US aggression to aid the Iranian Resistance. Something I am fearful of and can see becoming a propaganda tool in the near future.
