We Shall Overcome!
From N. Kaviani: One of the arrested women, Asieh Amini, is a blogger, whose blog I visit every night, occasionally leaving comments, comments which she sometimes answers. My unmet friend, Asieh, shares a name with my grandmother. Through her infrequent postings, she appears as such a soft, yet strong soul. You can feel her “woman-ness” through her words of wisdom, compassion, and humor. The reason she writes infrequently is that she is a women’s and children’s rights activist, traveling all over Iran, witnessing, reporting, and following up on abused women and children. Asieh is the voice of collective consciences of every Iranian man and woman. She won’t let go of that abused 12 year old boy in Hamadan. She won’t let go of that young woman in Rasht, waiting to be executed because she killed someone in self-defense. I have never met her, but I feel like I know her and I love her and my heart feels imprisoned thinking of her in jail.

Bonjour Serendip,
Thanks for your little comment on my blog.
Yes, I am deeply intersted in Iran though I do not know why.
Let me wish you that you become numerous enough - one day in the not so far future - to obtain rule of law based on human rights.
Strangely enough, all this seems to center around women's rights and I cannot help thinking that Islam's success worldwide finds it's explanation in denying these rights. Maybe I am wrong but so it looks from here.

Dear georg: Bingo! simple yet profoundly perceptive. Thanks for being interested in Iran. In the era of globalization, as I had mentioned in one my earlier posts month ago, "Understand that the male psyche can not subsist without its female half-core; a stifled female Always means a Defeated Male. A Defeated Male means the endangered world we live in now."
Many thanks for stopping by.
What an inspiring woman Asieh Amini is to Iranians and the world. She is courageous beyond expectation and a true hero. May she be released from prison and allowed to continue the work that she was born to do. I wish her and other Iranians fighting the 'government' for basic human rights every success. Human rights aren't a Western invention, they're for everyone on the planet. Salaam.
Habibi.
