I am watching this panorama episode to do with the Iranian election and the state of affairs going on currently and I am shocked. I knew the situation was dire right however this is showing something else.
- Mass paranoia about the rest of the world being "anti-Islam" and conspiring against the Holy nation of Iran.
- Protesters being shot, imprisoned unfairly and then sentenced using false evidence.
- People being stonned, despite this being a practise frowned upon by the people and the government claiming not to support it, it still transpires. There are videos of it with people being tortured with stones, beatings, psychological trauma and whipping.
- Mock executions to traumatise people and death threats to yourself and your family.
- Media is not allowed into the states because they are all conspiring against the Holy nation of Iran (apparently).
- People who protest peacefully, be they student, seniors, religious figures, musicians, writers or even just normal citizens being prosecuted. People who protest actively get killed but even people who protest or are trying to send a peaceful message of change also get abducted and attacked and even their privacy is destroyed when they are bugged (conversations), women are rapped and sexually degraded. Not even for being protesters or collaborators, simply for being related to people who were peaceful protesters.
- Gays are imprisoned, tortured, then RAPED (WTF contradictory of WHAT!) and are threatened with hanging. The state then proceeds to denounce and exile you as a Gay sinner (despite you being the one who was raped).
- Women are threatened with rape, to be killed and their children to be tortured.
A lot of this is in the name of Islam however I would think that no sane and pious Muslim would endorse any of this, I find it to be quite disgusting and terribly immoral.
So I was simply wondering what you people thought about this, I myself think something should really be done about some of these things. They are abhorrent and I think a place that endorses this cannot be called Islamic, Holy or even Moral in the slightest.
Things like this really anger me. I am quote shocked. What do TSR think about these violations of Human Rights and the lack of action against such a thing?
