Islamic Republic of Iran sentences lawyer who defends women who don’t wear hijab to 38 years prison, 148 lashes

Mar 13, 2019 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer

While Western feminists observe Hijab Day, the real oppression of women is the persecution of those who don’t wear hijab, and their defenders, such as Nasrin Sotoudeh.

“Iranian human rights lawyer Sotoudeh sentenced to 38 years in prison, 148 lashes, says family,” ANI, March 13, 2019 (thanks to J.):

Iranian human rights lawyer Nasrin Sotoudeh has been sentenced to serve 38 years in prison and 148 lashes, according to her family.

Sotoudeh was convicted of “gathering and colluding to commit crimes against national security” and for “insulting the Supreme Leader,” according to IRNA.

She is renowned for representing human rights defenders, dissidents, and women who protested against the compulsory wearing of a headscarf in the country.

Nasrin Sotoudeh’s husband, Reza Khandan, wrote in a Facebook post that she has been sentenced to 33 years and 148 lashes. Stating that she was awarded five years in prison in absentia, her punishment now amounts to a total of 38 years in prison.

Contradicting Khandan, the state media, citing the judge in the case, Mohammad Moghiseh, stated that Sotoudeh has been sentenced to seven years in prison.

However, the reason for the discrepancy in the reports was not immediately clear….

    Christianblood, this is the regime that Russia supports.
    Yes, and the USA supports the repulsive regime of Saudi Arabia.

    Wouldn’t you admit that both countries are “guilty” of “entanglement” with despicable Islamic states, whose ultimate goal is world domination ?

    You would not say Russia is supporting a free and just Iran, so are you claimimg the US is supporting an Islamic state that is less free and more unjust than Iran ? Therefore the US should support an Iran that is pledged to annihilate its best ally in the ME, Israel ?

      You anticipated me, Keys. Of course, chirstianblood will either not respond at all to you or if he does it will be more deflecting propaganda that he will spout, very possibly with some video he has posted many times about terrible America aligned with some terrible Islamic group or country.

      I mean this is a person who has said, among other idiocies, “God bless Hezbollah.” You see, Russia is just wonderful and only aligns with good Muslims and the West is awful and aligns with bad Muslims. Reading christianblood at times is like reading The Onion.

          ………………..

          Why would ANI–Asia News International–lie about this story?

          Moreover, the article cites IRNA–The state Islamic Republic News Agency. Is christianblood saying that Iran is lying about this themselves? For what possible reason?

          And RT–one of christianblood’s favorite sources–has these stories from Iran:

          “Young Iranian chess grandmaster expelled from national team for not wearing hijab”

          https://www.rt.com/sport/378130-iran-chess-player-hijab-ban/

          “Man pepper sprays woman for refusing to wear hijab in Iran”

          https://www.rt.com/news/452432-iran-pepper-spray-woman-hijab/

          There are many others, of course. So, christianblood cannot pretend that Iran is not persecuting women who don’t wear Hijab.

          So–will he actually condemn it? I would not hold my breath–he has been a big fan of the Islamic Republic of Iran persecuting victims, including Christians.

          Please understand this: In the global scheme of things Russia cannot be compared to the US, the EU, and Nato. Russia is NOT the USSR and it has no ideological drive that the USSR had or the neo liberal imperialist agenda of the US, EU and Nato allies currently have! Russia’s economy is little bigger than that of Spain and yes Russia has a powerful military but Russia cannot be compared to the movers and the shakers of the current liberal global politics and these are the US, the EU and Nato allies so your constant argument of what about Russia that you keep repeating is indeed very irrelevant to the matter at hand!

          Okay, having said that, I have absolutely NO problem of criticizing Russia if like the US, EU and Nato Russia has backed, armed, funded and trained islamic jihadists for decades in Afghanistan, Libya, Egypt, Bosnia, Kosovo, Yemen, Syria and even bombed Christian Serbs in support of muslim jihadists in the Balkans! Furthermore, I would criticize Russia if Russia rejected Christianity and replaced it with fanatical secular liberalist worldview that promotes a culture of death, immorality, corruption and fanatical homosexual agenda, Islamism and political-correctness and exports all those satanical hollywoodized values to all over the world in the guise of ‘democracy & human rights’. Don’t you all realize what the US and West are doing around the globe?

          I know as secularized agnostics some of you don’t understand those moral issues that I am talking about and indeed they are nothing to you (1 Corinthians 2:14) but as a Christian I cannot ignore the fact that the US and the West are fanatically practicing and promoting very, very, very dangerous postmodernist, moral relativist, pro-Islamist values and therefore my criticism against the US and the West is justified 100% and those same criticisms are NOT applicable to Russia in any way shape or form!

          As we speak, Russia is itself is surrounded, encircled by the US, EU and Nato forces that are constantly moving towards its Western borders, its economy is sanctioned to death and its leaders and government are constantly demonized by the incessant propaganda media of the Western liberal imperialist establishment! To be honest, I cannot understand why you can’t see all those facts I pointed here and much, much more that I didn’t! You need to change and to turn away from watching US and Western MSM which is nothing but propaganda for the neo liberal imperialist world-order and seek some other alternative media to understand the current world affairs! As Saint Paul pointed out two thousand years ago:

          (…Our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms…) Eph 6:12

        Russia and Iran has good diplomatic relations but they are NOT strategic allies! Big difference! Russia simply opposes America’s crazed regime-change aggression and war-mongering against Iran and after what the US and its imperialistic allies did in Bosnia, Kosovo, Iraq, Libya and Yemen, Russia and China are indeed very, very right in opposing that naked, crazy American aggression against countries like Iran, Myanmar, Venezuela or Syria. As we speak, American’s neocohen’s regime-change agenda in Venezuela is faltering! More of this below:

          Does he think we haven’t been paying attention to his own comments?

          Then he posts the same video he has posted scores of times. It is, of course, foolish for the West to share information about nuclear power with any Muslim nation, but this is *not*, as christianblood constantly claims. our giving Saudi Arabia the bomb.

      You are either misinformed or uncritically spreading US propaganda! How does Russia supports Iran??? By upholding international law of non-interfering into the affairs of other countries in the UN? Russia has good diplomatic relations with Iran and Iran and yet Russia don’t see eye to eye in many global issues! Unlike the US imperialists that are constantly interfering into affairs of other countries and even attacking them, Russia does not demand anyone to be its puppet regime and respects the independence of other countries! Of course Russia will always oppose the well-known US aggression of trying to start regime-change wars against Iran,Venezuela or Myanmar or any other sovereign country. Is that what you are calling Russia ‘support’ of Iran?

      Please understand the fact that US has military basis literally on every Arab/Gulf state that is neighboring Iran starting from Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Israel, Turkey and Iraq. US is also illegally occupying part of the Syrian state and Russia’s only military base in that region is located in Syria. In truth, Russia wished to have another temporary military base in Iran to fight the terrorists in Syria but Iran politely refused this in 2016 because Iranian constitution does not allow for any country to have military basis in Iran.

      Please see Pew Center’s most recent Global Research Which Answered The Question Of Who Is a Greater Threat To The World- Russia or the United States?

          Instead, he just keeps spamming is false implication that nuclear energy and nuclear weaponry are the same things.

          One can only conclude that he actually is *in favor* of forced veiling of women, and their imprisonment or worse if they resist.

          But why not? He has also said that women should not be allowed to take wife beating cases to the police or the courts, but instead should protect their abusers.

          He has also agreed that I deserve to be gang raped and beheaded by Jihadists for daring to point out his hideous Islamophilic claptrap, and that my not wanting this to happen means I am resisting the Truth of Christ.

        cb, you leave much out about the Iranian regime including its ambition to establish the conditions for the return of the 12th imam by annihilating Israel and taking control of the entire ME to establish its Shiite version of sharia law, not to mention its nuclear ambitions to bring ‘death to America’, and eventually the world – all of it including Russia and China and India … for God’s sake ! There is much more, but that is key, and ‘nuf ta know’.

        Are you OK with Israel being annihilated, or don’t you believe the Iranians ?
        You must be OK with it as Russia sells them S-400 missle systems and who knows what else ? Subs ? Then US sells SA weapons because it (SA) fears Iranian ambitions.

        I had an Iranian friend in college and much preferred the Iranian students to the arrogant Saudis who were there at the time. Most here are not naive about Saudi ambitions and their tentacles throughout the world.

        And do you think that if Iran controlled all the ME countries you mentioned, that would ultimately be in Russia’s interest ? Certainly, you do not believe that Iran has (and will have) a policy of, as you say, “non-interferring into the affairs of other countries” ?

          I am okay if Russia sells Iran its S-400 sams which is a defensive system
          because it would be totally unjust and wrong if the evil, destructive, pro-ISIS, imperialist America and its Nato/Saudi/Arab/Jihadist allies start a war of aggression against Iran on fabricated lies like they did in Iraq, Libya and Syria!

          NO, I am not okay if Israel is harmed by anyone but at the same time it would be great if Israel works not just with the warmongering, imperialistic US neocons but with other peace-loving countries like Russia and others to resolve the situation peacefully! In the long run, it would be really, really good for Israel’s interest to distance itself from America’s unjust destructive, ungodly policies because God Himself is turning against America because of its very EVIL behavior in many fronts!

          Now, are you happy that Israel attacked Syria over 200 times in the past two years, while Syria which protects millions of Christians and other minorities is at war with hundreds of thousands of international jihadist mercenaries that came from around the world to destroy that country? And remember, Syria never attacked Israel, not even by mistake during this time! See more of this below:

    With the mention of “5 years in absentia”, I am unsure if she is presently in Iran and in jail or in some other country. Also I wonder if she claims to be Muslim who objects to the Hijab or is other.

        Does christianblood hope that Nasrin Sotoudeh is able to escape this persecution, or does he believe that anyone who resists forced veiling should be tortured and imprisoned? Of course, he does not say–clearly he does not oppose this Islamic oppression, but just desperately wants to distract us from it.

      They, the Persian court, must be innovators and hence apostates. Koran 5:32 is clear and explicit about what should be done with those who run about the land creating disorder.

    Of course those in power in this misogynistic “mullah regime” of Iran will go after people, lawyers or not ,who may attempt to aid or help the oppressed and females ,both girls and women ,who are trapped and forces to exist in the anti-female Islamic tyranny.

    For this ruthless cruel brutal tyrannical regime of Iran what so unfittingly has the word “Republic” in its title ,for its called “ The Islamic Republic of Iran” [ I R I]. On the topic of this Islamic tyranny a former Muslim revealed that “The IRI system recognizes women as dependent upon men and incomplete human beings who need to be supervised and controlled by men and the State. This author further exposed that “Women are created for the purposes of giving pleasure to men and child bearing – functions that confine them to the home” This is a male Chauvinistic as can possibly be. In addition this writer further makes it known that “The IRI legal system still retains traditional patriarchal bias that can be described as nothing but systemic subordination of women , which is undoubtedly a human rights violation .” This author further reveals that “Iran is of what Islamic fundamentalists desire, an Islamic State, and the consequence of achieving it “State Terror. Instead of utopia, Iran is an Islamic totalitarian nightmare…” and “the Islamic Republic of Iran exists and operates as what every Islamic fundamentalist dreams of, an Islamic state ruled by Sharia …What followed its establishment was the inevitable consequence and inexorable logic of its Islamic premises; state terrorism, a merciless tyranny.” [1] This heinous Islamic has been also exposed by another author who was born and lived in a Middle Eastern nation for many years. She wrote “Female freedom and independence is one of the greatest sins in Islam…” and “Women in Islam are considered unclean, deemed inferior even to dirt.” [2] All this is wicked, unjust and misogynistic to the extreme. Islam had not regard for human life, regardless of what the apologists for this religion will claim.

    38 years for protesting hijab? how brutal is islamic republic of iran
    hope by the time of 38 years iran is free from mullahs

    • Peter Buckley says

      Mar 13, 2019 at 6:31 pm

      Islam collapsing in Iran:

      “In the meantime, government mullahs grew old. Today, the average age of the 5,000 government mullahs, from the “Supreme Guide” down and including Friday Imams, is around 70.
      The age disconnect is only one reason for the dramatic fall in turnouts at Friday prayers. According to the latest report by the central office in charge of the imam networks, Friday prayers in Tehran no longer attract more than 20,000 people from a population of over 12 million. In some cities, Tabriz and Isfahan for example, the numbers have fallen below 1,000.
      However, age isn’t the only worrying factor.
      People, especially the younger generation, are not interested in the shopworn anti-American discourse seasoned with empty pseudo-Islamic slogans. The anti-American discourse sounds even more hollow when the Islamic Majlis publishes claims that some 15,000 children of senior Islamic Republic officials, including many mullahs, are in the United States for further studies and that hundreds of top Khomeinist officials are either US citizens or hold American “Green Cards” (permanent residence documents.) Reports of top officials and mullahs or their families traveling to the West for holidays, medical services and shopping further contribute to the falseness of official Friday sermons.”

        I hope she was wearing a burqa (the black one that covers even the ground they walk on and has a black netting slit for the eyes) in court while she defended these woman.

        Think the male judges would like that !? Wouldn’t even know if it was her.
        That would piss them off enough to give her 37 years and 148 lashes.

        BTW, if these lashes are severe and not given concurrently, she could not survive it. But Allah, ever merciful, will allow the lashes concurrently so they are but ONE big wacko, like him.

    This Islamic tyrannical is so extremely evil and anti-female beyond the limits of any ,decent and sane person to understand .

    For example ,of the many heinously evils outcome s of that Islamic “revolution” is the extremely cruel, brutal and demonic misogyny of this hideous Islamic regime. Not only against women but even young girls. As explained by a former Iranian Revolutionary Guard member who defected to the West and how now lives in America his book also informs the reader about the malicious and murderous affront girls in Iran’s Evin prison which reads that those in power ,the “paraded teenage girls in front in front of me as they led them to their deaths. These girls were barely out of their childhood, barely old enough to think of themselves, much less form thoughts against the state. They knew nothing about the machinations of politics. They were innocent in every sense of the word and certainty innocent of trumped –up charges that led to their imprisonment. Yet they suffered fates too brutal for even the most vicious criminal. ..Their few remaining moments of life had been filled with the level of abuse that few can imagine…The author further states “They tortured and killed young girls, in God’s name and before their execution they raped them because they believed that if a girl dies virgin, she will go to heaven, and they wanted to deny them this reward.” [1] This is as malice -filled and viciously wicked as can possibly be. This, very much, reflects the Wisdom found in the Bible which in Proverbs 15:15. For it reads “All the days of the oppressed are wretched. “ and likewise Proverbs 29:2. Which teaches “When the wicked rule, the people groan. “ [N.I.V.]

    • gravenimage says

      Mar 13, 2019 at 8:44 pm

      Grimly true. Then they would taunt the grieving parents of these girls by sending them cheap trinkets that the girls’ rapists had used to “marry” them.

      • eduardo odraude says

        “They tortured and killed young girls, in God’s name and before their execution they raped them because they believed that if a girl dies virgin, she will go to heaven, and they wanted to deny them this reward.” [1]

        Islam’s core texts’ promulgation of such and similar evil ideas — in fact, evil squared or cubed — is the kind of thing that shows us there is something like demonic genius behind Islam, whether that genius is Muhammad himself or something inspiring him.

        In ordinary life we often see evil mixed with the good. In Islamic teachings by contrast, we often see something like pure evil. Part of the evil involved is that jihadist terrorists have been persuaded that what they are doing is the very opposite of evil. What level of evil genius was necessary in order to convince so many ISIS members that raping and enslaving and crucifying and beheading are good actions? How could such rot, such moral cancer, grow so in the human race? And how can it be that so much of the human race is resolutely determined to stay asleep to this?

        One big mistake people make is to bring truth without love. Another big mistake is to bring love without truth. The most effective mode of persuasion combines both aspects.

        • gravenimage says

          Mar 13, 2019 at 11:28 pm

          Grimly, Islam lacks both truth and love. It is the worst combination.

          Anyone who knows anything about Islam should know that satan is running Islam..of course Islamist believes that their god is running Islam but nothing could be further from the truth. Most everything about Islam was stolen from laws in old testament times along with pagan rituals and made up nonsense…yet they believe the UNBELIEVABLE and are trapped in this awful religion by three things…Take away FORCE, FEAR and the APOSTSTE KAW and Islam would implode within itself. These three things along with Satan has kept Islam alive these many centuries.

    In 1953 “we” gave them a government of relative enlightenment and toleration, a regime that might have ushered Persia gently into the 20th century. It lasted for 26 years. Ataturk achieved 80 years, a human lifetime of relief. Islam is recalcitrant, but I salute and admire the dead guys who kept Persia, “Iraq,” Syria et al, out of the hands of both Hitler and Stalin.
