Sorry to hear about your personal experiences of your Father with SAVAK. That is sad too.

Lets just get rid of executing people.

God Bless. B.

Id just like to say that I remember being stunned by the sight of the Alborz (?) mountains. Magnificent. Please read the travel advice on the UK Foreign Office website for an insight into life in Iran. Executing people and in public belongs in the 12th Century. Executing minors is evil. It is sad for what has Delara's execution actually achieved? God Bless. B.

But if u look among middle eaastern states, then Iran looks pretty good. Women associate in almost EVERY task, just like men. this is not true in the case of some ARAB countries where a man can divorce a women via TEXT MESSAGE(sad). I think Iran NEEDS freedom of religion and freedom of speech as long as both do no insault the current regime. there is a difference in disagreeing and being insulting. I dont agree with that much freedom in the US where u can Curse Jesus or Moses and just walk away.

u point out one of the reasons ppl created the revolution. ppl in their 70's had to work while Shah had SEVERAL palaces of Gold. People who didnt agree with Shah were taken and tortured or disappeared. My Father's cousin was taken by SAVAK during Shah and never made it back. Iran is now an Islamic state so there are certain limitations that come with the religion. But I think with the current moderation and reform Iran is getting much better. if u mean free like UK or US then the answer is NO

I remember walking down a Tehran St in the late 70.s with a local friend past an old guy offering to shine shoes. Look at that, my friend says, the old man has to work in his retirement. But then I read the Iran travel advice on the UK Foreign Office website; dont go here, dont do this, dont do that and the reported failings of Iran Consular obligations. With freedom comes responsibility. Are Iranians now free?

For instance, Americans say Iran took american hostages for 444 days. I present the Iranian side that deals with the Underlying cause: they took the hostages because 2 coups were orchestrated from within the embassy after the revoltution and US wouldnt return the SHAH to Iran to stand trial. Ironically Shah and saddam both killed their own people but the difference was Shah was an ally of the US while Saddam turned against the US. so Saddam was tuned over to the people to stand trial. thanx

I Belive in the Death penalty for some things but NONE involve Minors. I Do not agree with Executing minors and Im frimly against it. as far as myslef; Im an Iraninan/American (american born). I have deep feelings for both countries but will not hesitate to criticize one for doing somethinig wrong. Unfortunately The Iraninan view doesnt have much Media behind it. US has all the Media outlets,MSNBC, NBC, CNN so I try to point out Iran's argument that deals with the underlyiing cause " continued..

Thanks for your note. Manslaughter is then different in the UK and of course, she was a minor that was apparently not informed of the potential consequences. Unlike the US and Iran, we do not have the death penalty in Europe, preferring to focus on the rehab of prisoners. Sorry for appearing condescending.

then my apologies if I offended u, but the weapon was with them, not from the victim's house. The intention was robbery, however murder was to stop from getting caught and reporting.This would not be manslaughter neither in the states nor in Iran. In iran Its considered MURDER and in the states it would be Murder in the 2nd degree since it was not pre-meditated. thank you and again sorry but u came off a bit condecending at first. my apologies
