Iran has faced international condemnation after one of the country’s most prominent human rights lawyers, detained for eight months, said she had been sentenced to a total of 38 years in prison and 148 lashes, according to her husband.
Sotoudeh, held at Evin Prison in Tehran, told her husband about the latest sentencing during a brief telephone conversation, the Center for Human Rights in Iran, a monitoring group, said in a statement on Monday. According to the Center for Human Rights statement, however, the first case in which Sotoudeh had been sentenced appeared to relate to a 2015 trial conducted in her absence. Her husband told the center that she had faced at least seven charges in the second case, among them propaganda against the state, disturbing public peace and order, appearing in court without a headscarf, and encouraging corruption and prostitution.
Great. Remove Western virus of democracy from Islamic lands.
Good! Don't be intolerant of the established traditions & beliefs, that would be Islamophobic
Where's our globalist/feminist PM JustinTrudeau ?
Lawsome_ Stop being Islamophobic. That's their culture...the same culture regressives want to transplant into Canada. cdnpoli
Where are the Me Too organizers ? This truly is an issue which should bring women, men and governments together in action.
Religion of peace!
I'm sure this is just a misunderstanding. After all, the UN just selected Iran to be on the new womens equal rights panel.
i would be interested in knowing how our new islamic communities here in canada feel about this. we never hear their opinons
Another example of why the world needs to eradicate ALL religions & the belief that an imaginary man lives in the sky watching them and the religious murdering dictators that literally force the belief on citizens for total control of them!
What century are these people reliving? Why are women degraded, abused and severely punished or death for male relationships? Why are males excluded? Why are Liberals and their supporters always silent about the leaders of these archaic and barbaric societies.
Is there any wonder that there is a backlash against Islam? This kind of thing gets people all worked-up, and those among us who are already disposed to violent expressions of their biases, act out with violence. Not a justification, certainly, put a partial explanation.
Yet we jumped at the chance to bring a young Saudi girl here who from all reports just didn’t want to listen to her father. Unbelievable that they can’t even speak out against this crap
Where is Canada condemn ing this act against these women.
Not a word from a single Liberal Minister or MP & with Trudeau building sandcastles in-between getting legal advice for his actions along with the rest of his 'team' we can't be surprised no one has been allowed to speak to this outrage, or maybe the timing is wrong?
AKimCampbell Terrible!! No words ....
perhaps Trudeau can do one good deed and get this woman and her family to Canada___
AKimCampbell This amounts to a death sentence. How can the Canadian govt be a leader in human rights and women's rights and turn a blind eye to this? Where is the UN to stand against torture and misogyny?
In today's edition of the WashingtonPost law professor NadiaBAhmad and U.S. Constitutional law professor AQuraishiLandes argue that the hijab is not a tool of oppression by Muslim governments against women. Yeah...
This is why we must never be prevented from criticizing any religion or ideology. Sadly we are going in the wrong direction.
Don'T you just love that culture. Hey let's be like he EU and allow unpropetly vetted immigration. What say you folks a half hour screening should be good enough according to liberals.
Can we please hold a vigil for this poor victim of Islamic tyranny? JustinTrudeau
Sharia Law at it again The oppression of women continues. 'Muslim fanatics' are celebrating.
