This is a regime that practices violence against women, rape of women, sexual molestation of children, sexual apartheid, and inequality for women as a matter of law!

I guess this is what 7 years of Reforms and Badbakhti can bring about.

Clearly not only have the Reforms failed, but so has the policy of engagment with Iran.

The world must stop supporting, trading, or dealing with the Mullahs.

Support the people of Iran and not their Islamist, terrorist illegitimate regime.

Iran: Rejecting Women's Convention Undermines Iran's Commitment to International Human Rights Standards

Amnesty International today expressed its dismay that Iran's senior legislative body, the Guardian Council (Shoura-ye Negahban) has refused to ratify parliament's proposal on 12 August to accede to the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women.

"The women's convention includes standards that are contained in international human rights treaties to which Iran is already a state party, such as the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR)," Amnesty International said. "The Guardian Council's decision therefore undermines Iran's commitment to uphold international human rights standards and fails the aspirations of all Iranian women to have their dignity and place in society measured against international standards relating to women's rights."

Write and thank Amnesty, write HRW and every other group you know asking for a similar public condemnation.

It's so sad. When our country once was a beatiful place to live, with equality and tolerance like no other place had. Today, equality and tolerance is only a forgotten memory of our glorious past.

I hope with all of my heart that this part of our legacy shall be resurrected once again!
