Human Rights in Iran

[Aerithia]

Let's post articles and news etc about the human rights situation in Iran.

Human rights is a large pillar when it comes to Iran, so i thought we could need a thread like this where we can post news about the situations of political prisoners in Iran, statement on the human rights situation in Iran by officials etc, yeah pretty much anything related.

This is in no way made towards a pro-revolutionary purpose or a pro-nationalist/islamic purpose, this is only to see what's really going on behind the bars in the prisons of Iran. (lol)

I WILL REPORT ALL EXTENSIVE ARGUING/FLAMING, IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU SUPPORT THE REGIME OR NOT, I'M SICK OF ALL ARGUING. I'M NOT SAYING YOU DON'T HAVE THE RIGHTS TO STATE YOUR OPINION, I'M JUST SAYING THAT YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO POST SOMETHING HATEFUL TOWARDS ANOTHER ONE'S OPINION.

Just stumbled upon this article, pretty shocking, and i thought the human rights situation has gotten better... guess not.

EDIT: I'm going to put up some links to various human rights activist sites (in Iran of course lol), so you can get daily updates etc about what that's really going on.

Thanks Aerithia. The only thing that would improve human rights in Iran is the collapse of this regime and replacing it with a democratic secular system.

Regarding the german reporter, also bear in mind, that because he is a foreigner he is treated 10 times better than what an iranian political prisoner would go through!!!

[Aerithia]

Exactly.

It's a shame really..

[Aerithia]

Guys, i've put up some links to some of the most known human rights activist sites in Iran, some of you already knew of these but just incase.

Although nothing happens overnight, Iran and Iranians will NEVER achieved a truly democratic nation based on solid universal human rights. Hate to break it to you kids but that is simple reality. Does that mean the struggle should stop?........absolutely not but the ultimate goal of universal human rights is out of reach.
Why so?....................because Iran {and every other Middle Eastern country} is trying to attain a goal that it doesn't understand. You can never get to your destination when you don't know what the destination is.
Middle Eastern countries are trying to acheive equal rights........but only for the choosen few and it doesn't work that that way. A nation based on human rights is not a reflection pf how it treats the majority but rather how it treat it's minorities. In order for a nation to acheive full human rights for some it must do so for all regardless of what individuals themselves think. This idea that our "culture" is different is complete crap and an easy bailout. That's for people who want human rights but only for themselves and only on their terms.
In order to acheive a true demovracy and a nation, government, and society based on equality, dignity, and freedom the rules must apply to everyone or it means nothing at all.
COMPLETE equality including freedom or the press, association, political affiliation, religious/spiritual beliefs, disability. race, gender, sexual orientation etc...........human rights is not a "us vs them" equation.
Human rights is a package deal.....you either believe in them or you don't, there is no pick and choose.
Middle Eastern societies neither understand nor appreciate that and hence the deplorable situation they find themselves in.

no need to feel sorry to break it up to any of us, you inadequate knowledge is an apology itself
your first and largest mistake in your claim that undermines your whole argument is the fact that you say "middle eastern countries", middle eastern countries vary by large, our views and ideologies and society is very different than many of our neighbors

im assuming you live in north america, as it says BC on ur profile, and have a fairly small/narrow view of iran and iranians yet you are claiming that we dont understand human rights, if anything, we understand it more than the current generations in the west since we dont have it, we know both sides of the story, i can assure you the majority of us do understand democracy and human rights

u have mistaken iran for some of our neighbors, i dont want to mention them since some might not like it

anyway,

so the "west" by luck ended up all "equal" out of no where???

i really dont see how democracy and human rights are being defended in lets say for example the states, not as direct and terribly as iran but its still an issue, especially when they attack half way across the world a small country and slaughter it's people
besides, it was with the help of western policies that iran has fallen into its current day situation

and this whole "us vs them" idea doesnt fit nicely into this absurd statement of yours, not to mention your whole statement is fairly our of place

im not going to push to discuss this much with you since you have been blinded towards our society
