death. Any form of insult toward the regime, especially the supreme leader is punishable by death.
Don't you know that the person in the car is Ahmadinejad, who is President, not supreme leader?

Therefore I think the statement you were referring to is most likely an accurate account of what may have happened shortly after this photo was taken.
Hopefully though the woman had quick legs and escaped.
I could call your comment trolling, but it's actually more accurate to describe it as an uneducated remark.
Give me a break. We don't even know that the photo is real. Can we demonize the regime for things it's actually done now, instead of speculating
like children? Because it's more productive.
Yes I do know that's Ahmadinejad. I was making a general statement that was accurate, as I said insulting the supreme leader would be punishable by
death, as I did not state the person in the car was Khamenei. So give me a break!
Ahmadinejad is the supreme leader's puppet. So insulting him insults the regime and so insults the supreme leader. False confessions of cia
involvement obtained through torture would ensure the courts would execute her swiftly. Many people have been victims of this, as some are
fortunately let go, and have described the brutality of the regime prisons. They have to let some go otherwise if all were executed this would look
highly suspicious.
And there's been 100's arrested over the past 2 weeks, many may be dead and most definitely tortured if we look at past regime behaviour towards
inmates.
The regime demonizes itself because of its actions over the past 2 weeks and also over the past 30 years. You simply don't understand this regime if
you really really mean what you said, about judging them on this photo alone. You simply cannot, everything adds up to make a frightening picture.
Anyway we don't know the authenticity of this photo, but that doesn't change what else we "do" know about this regime.
It's fairly logically to say they would arrest this woman if this really happened. And we know torture is commonplace to obtain false confessions.
I'm making an educated analysis, I wouldn't call it speculating. We know to a large extent of the dirty tactics of this regime.
Ok you weren't trolling, you were just making an uneducated remark, backed up by lack of knowledge, and thinking it was impossible to make
determinations providing the photo is real. Which we can actually make assuming it's real. Otherwise what else are we going to talk about?!
Therefore both discussions of the autheticity of this photo, the implications, possible outcomes and what's may have happened to this woman are all
legitimate postings.
