Iranian Woman Attacked by Police
Some pictures from an Iranian blog of a woman beaten by police for not properly veiling. Warning: pictures are graphic.
I wonder how long Woman's rights groups will remain silent on this. If this happened in the USA, you can bet it would be all over the world's news. Some more perspectives and links here.

Yes, things are tough all over. For example, there were 1,700 acts of violence against abortion providers in the USA between 1977 and 1994, with four people killed in 1994 and one in 1993, according to statistics from the National Abortion Federation. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms has logged 167 attacks against abortion clinics over the past 15 years.
What's particularly disturbing about this story is that it's the Iranian government doing this, not just random street thugs.
As terrible as some of the abortion clinic crimes were, none of them were done by police in the course of their official duties.
aren't a lot of the religious zealots who want to deny by violent means a woman's right to choose indirectly subsidized by the US government, since the religious organisations they belong to get tax breaks?
in this world it's hard so you have to live with it. but nobody deserve to be beaten up that bad. if it was you, you wouldn't like it too!
And now they trying to make us believe everything is A-ok for women in Iran with some thinly veiled bollocks about the only difference between the west and Iran is women have to wear a headscarf - can you believe this Channel4 tripe:
