Iran's Subsidized Basijee: Execute Iran's Father of Animation!

There are calls for the execution of a 70 year old Iranian cartoonist (Iran's father of animation), Nooredin Zarrin-kelk, who is said to have ridiculed the chador (a sort of unpegged tent some women wear in Iran):

The incident led to organised protests by state backed fundamentalist Baseej students/thugs, who once again exploited the situation in favour of their recent demand for a second "cultural revolution".


If you follow the link, you'll see there is such a thing as a free lunch, at least for state subsidized Islamic fundamentalist students (rent-a-mob) who organise spontaneous demonstrations.

One Basiji website even implicitly threatened (The owner of the website claims that he is ready to give up his life for Imam Mahdi and Khamanei) Zarrin-kelk's family members by boasting to have obtained their personal telephone numbers and addresses.

Potkin also laments the British universities (Cambridge this time) despicable act of inviting the supporters of the regime to lecture on behalf of the Islamic republic in their institutions and "ignoring the plight of their colleague in Iran and continuing to host Islamic Republic's hand-picked "fake dissidents" and apologists."
