Some of the (domestic) results of a Sharia-ruled nation:
Well over half a million Iranians have been imprisoned by their regime since the start of the year, Director-General of the Cultural and Disciplinary Committee of the Iranian Prisons Organization Mansour Moqareh-Abed told Iranian newspaper Jomhouri Islami.
The interview was cited by the website of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), an umbrella organization for Iranian opposition groups in exile…
The NCRI noted that “everyday 2,600 people are sent to prison; thus, in a year the figure grows to 1 million,” a figure described as an “unprecedented world record.”
The NCRI added in its statement: “Obviously, the actual number of detainees in Iran is much higher than the official figure since it does not take into account various unofficial penitentiaries and prisons.
“In particular, the regime has stepped up suppression to an unprecedented level and street arrests have increased in order to combat the rising number of popular demonstrations and uprisings.”
Whether these stats are entirely accurate or not, I think it is safe to say that the Mullahs form one of the most oppressive regimes, for sure, in the Mideast and – if the figures are almost accurate – even in the world.
Perhaps it’s time for certain organizations to focus more on Iran instead of obsessing over Israel.
What’d ya say?
