Iran Still Terrorising Political Dissidents
Are there even any political dissidents left in Iran? Hasn't the regime already killed or tortured any remaining dissidents into submission? Just today a woman, Haleh Esfandiari, who is a dual Iranian and American citizen and Smithsonian academic was sent to Evin, the prison for dissidents, for at least the second time for "discussions". Do you think she's going for tea? Read the full article here.
Iran continues to practice brutality and cowing people into accepting their political views. This is not an Islamic government, this is a brutal totalitarian government hiding behind the guise of religion. Speaking out against the problems in government should not be considered a violation of the Muslim faith. Organizing people to try to institute change should not mark one as a Muslim offender to the faith. Yet this is the brush with which the Iranian population who wants change is painted with.
These people do not last long in society, they are picked up and transported to Evin and then bullied into fingering others at the hand of torturers. Some are just simple interrogated and then killed. Some may get a mock trial, but many do not. It is no wonder that change will come very slowly in Iran the entire population lives in fear of being marked as a dissident and put in a car to the notorious Evin prison.
So the outcry needs to start for Haleh Esfandiari, she has already been forced to "confess" to some supposed sins. We need to raise the out cry to bring her out of Iran now!
