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?
