Iranian Feminists in Jail

Okay. The war on women has to stop. Did you here about the Iranian feminists being thrown in jail? After participating in a peaceful women's rights rally, Delaram Ali was arrested and sentenced to 2 and a half years in prison. Less than a month later Jelveh Javaheri was arrested for creating a website called We4Change. These women are part of the One Million Signatures Campaign, for ending the discriminatory laws in Iran. Some 30+ women have been arrested for their involvement and some have already been sentenced to lashings! WTF!!!! Women have also been arrested for wearing provocative clothing like thin headscarves and short coats. Seriously?

Some one please help me understand this world!!! What is going on? I thought the US was messed up...

were you aware?

contrary to popular belief, burma is still in a mess. monks are urged by the local population not to go outside, and people are still being rounded up in the middle of the night. where do they go? to a military "facility" located near the center of myanmar, the junta's capitol. this former university campus has been converted for the military's use...but they don't really want to say what's going on in there. reporters are not allowed inside, and the perimiter is barracaded by armed military gaurds and rows of barbed wire. what's actually happening in burma?
monks are afraid for their lives, and any sign that they are against the military junta (such as a hidden picture of their democratic leader, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi) could land them in jail--or who knows where.

want to know more? here's a link:

Lead LA REVOLUCION!
