A Note

I do not deny that in Iran, especially in the politicall prisons during the "cleansing" years many atrocities happened. I do not even condone them because among those tortured and later murdered were aquaintances especially a man whom I loved more than my own uncles.
BUT...
sometimes a crime is so bad that the criminal has put himself deliberately out of the frame of "Human Rights". I do not agree with many of the punishments set out in Islam but I cheer when the whipping sentence is put on rapists. I think the relatives of the victims agree in this too.
