Interview with BBC director Sadegh Saba

AFP: The Iranian government has intimidated and arrested relatives and friends of BBC Persian-language journalists working abroad in a bid to silence them, Human Rights Watch said Friday. The rights group highlighted the case of a BBC reporter Iranian authorities "arbitrarily detained and held as a hostage" for almost two weeks as Iran prepares to hold parliamentary elections on March 2. HRW said security forces raided the home of a BBC Persian service employee's relative in Tehran in mid-January, searched and confiscated their belongings, and took them to Evin prison >>>

Benyamin

"gheyrat" in islamic culture or in the IRI is defined as...

by Benyamin on

One protecting his female members of his family(i.e. his mother, daughter and sister). This protection could be when there is a physical danger such as an intruder trying to rape or kill and so on but it also means if females member of the family WILLINGLY participate in a concented sex in Islamic culture the man is still bound to show "gheyrat" and take action against the man and his own female family member to stop it or just show some form of power over the situation!!!

This culture does not no any bound and it is called "Gheyrat"!!!

My question is, where is their "Gheyrat" when they take hostage someone in Iran to make another member to stop working as a journalist or anckerman/woman or janitor in a news organisation?

These people are certainly Islamic but not "Iranian". I remember as a kid (when I was really small like 5 or 7 not the I condone that now) we didn`t throw stone at a lonesome dogs because it was not "manly" meaning you don`t hit a weak!!! That was a direct corrolation between the cuture of "Pahlevanism" and not putting pressure on the weak! I think Takhti(RIP) did the same thing and never touched his opponants arm because he was injured in that area!

I wonder and my question of all those supporting thugs like Ahmadinejad a true AN and khameneie and all of those people that kill and torture in the name of saving IRI can explain where and how they would impliment the true Iranian culture of "Pahlevanism"?

Where is the logic of taking an elder to put pressure on a 3o year old who probobly got nothing out of the IRI and had to leave for a job abroad?

Who are these people that kill and steal in billions and have all kinds of different passports and yet yet call themselves supportes of IRI?

my advise to all of those people participating in these kind of actions is that "DONT DO IT" you will be paying a price one way or another and it will be equal to what you had done!!!

PRESERVE IRANIAN CULTURE OF ALL SORTS.
