Scene from "Persepolis"

Taken from the pages of the graphic novels, "Persepolis" centers around Marjane, only a child during the time of the Iranian Revolution, who is sent to Austria by her parents when living in Iran becomes too dangerous due to the Iraqi invasion and the purging of suspected domestic enemies by the country's new rulers. Marjane eventually returns to Iran and finds that her homeland has changed drastically since she last left, having exchanged the oppression of the Shah for the restrictions of the theocratic regime.

@DasHinchen It's not actually by Iron Maiden 0_o Weird. It's "Master of the Monsters" by Olivier Bernet.

Jeez, those two women look like tyrannical penguins!

@Jakegothicsnake They called her a slut because she wasn't wearing her veil 'properly'. The Guardians of the Regime wanted all womens hair to be covered because they saw it as a sign of sexuality...no matter how old/young a girl was. But yes, I agree, quite mean indeed :)

Mom! The Bee Gees Suck!!

@Jakegothicsnake That's the "irony" of it, they called her a slut because you could see a little bit of her hair. During that time and with those laws, a woman who showed a her hair, was a slut, no matter how old she is...

...of course it's stupid, but these thing really happen, that's the horrible thing about it
