Remember Iran
Posted in Irshaddering Thoughts on Nov 09, 2007
With Pakistan all over the news, it’s easy to forget that human rights continue being trampled in Iran, too.
Two years after a military general named Zia ul Haq staged a coup and grabbed power in Pakistan, the Iranian revolution happened. That also turned out to be something of a coup: the Ayatollah’s promises of democracy never materialized. Quite the opposite.
Today, the daily dignity of the Iranian people is being sacrificed at Allah’s altar — an abuse of Islam as much as of people. While the mass imprisonment of democrats in Pakistan dominates human rights discourse this week, Iran’s persistent execution of children should be an equally high priority.
I’m proud to say that my country of Canada hasn’t forgotten, even though the United Nations would like it to. What do I mean? Glad you asked. Read this.
