equal rights for women

it ain't happening here (of course not on the level it isn't happening elsewhere) so we all know there is NO WAY it's going to happen in iran.... i can't wait until THIS country becomes our new best friend (in a year or two)


Iran police beat women activists

Police in Iran have beaten a small group of women activists trying to hold a protest for greater legal rights in the biggest square of the capital.
Several people were arrested by the security forces who moved in almost as soon as activists started gathering.
About 20 women sat on the grass in Haft-e Tir Square in central Teheran and began to sing a feminist song.
They were calling for equal divorce and custody rights and a ban on polygamy.
The BBC's Frances Harrison in Tehran says the police who massively outnumbered the protestors, almost immediately started beating the women to disperse them.............
