Do You Know?
 

In Iran...

There is no freedom of association, organization or speech.
There are no non-Islamic opposition parties, no trade unions, no women's organizations, no independent newspapers. And if you want them or try to organize them, they arrest you, torture you or even kill you.
 

There are no union rights. No right to strike. Labour activists are suppressed. Minimum wage is a quarter of the official poverty line. There is no unemployment insurance. Many workers have not been paid for months.

Women are 3rd class citizens. Sexual apartheid rules.
Women are banned from a wide range of social, economic and political activities; Islamic veil is compulsory. Women are separated from men in busses, universities, and many public places. Husbands and fathers are their guardians, at home and outside. Women cannot travel, even within the country, without permission from their male guardians. They have no right to divorce, or custody of their children. The list is endless.

Intellectual dissent and non-Islamic religious expression are suppressed. Atheism and secularism are punishable by death. Religious `cleansing` and suppression of non-Moslems is the norm, Bahais are routed, Jewish people live in constant fear of fabricated charges of espionage for Israel. Christians are second -class citizens.

There is no right to a fair trial. No right to an attorney, No presumption of innocence, No limits to imprisonment without charge. Arbitrary arrests, torture, forced or fabricated confessions, death in custody, are usual practice.

Children have no rights. Children are the property of their elders and the Islamic state. They send them to war, to work, to gallows. 5 year olds work at furnaces. 9-year old girls may be legally married off. 13 year olds may be (and have been) legally condemned to death.

Homosexuals are executed. Pure and simple.

The list is endless
