Death by Islam
An African shares his culture

Tolerant sharia story of the month

Nasrin Sotoudeh, a Persian woman, has been severely punished by the Iranian regime:

A prominent Iranian human rights lawyer has been sentenced to a total of 38 years in jail and 148 lashes in Tehran, her family say.

Life in prison, effectively. Anyway, what were her "crimes"?

Ms Sotoudeh is known for representing women who have protested having to wear the headscarf. "Nasrin Sotoudeh has dedicated her life to defending women's rights and speaking out against the death penalty," Philip Luther from Amnesty International said.
