British woman on trial in Iran

According to the Telegraph a British-Iranian woman is facing charges of “moral corruption” after her arrest following the Ashura demonstrations on 27 December.

As well as moral corruption she has been charged with espionage, immoral relations with foreigners, drinking alcohol and insulting high-ranking officials (and presumably hubris, genuflection and the murder of Cock-bloody-Robin too!)

According to reports, the unnamed woman, who was born in Manchester to a British mother who later converted to Islam, defiantly told the court that she saw nothing criminal about her actions.
"I do not think taking to the streets means spreading corruption

Prosecutors claimed that she had sent at least 40 text messages from her mobile telephone calling on friends to attend the December protests. They also attempted to link her to two German diplomats who have been identified by Iran as spies with the codenames of "Yogi" and "Ingo" (or perhaps Boo Boo, I daresay she also caused havoc in Jellystone Park). Iran maintains the two, who have now left the country, orchestrated the December protests as part of a German plot to bring down the regime (So it’s the Germans and not the British now.. make your bloody mind up!) The woman was regularly seen at parties held by the two diplomats, the prosecutors alleged, where she purportedly engaged in unseemly behaviour.

Five of the other defendants were told they faced the death sentence after they were charged with being "enemies of God".

It is clear that the Iranian Government is crapping itself or it would not crack down on protestors in such a ludicrous way. The regime is doubly crapping itself given that there will be another round of protests on 11 February when Iran marks the 31st anniversary of the Islamic Revolution.

Otherwise would they try to charge someone with waging war of God? They might as well charge the protestors with waging war on Aubergines or sunlight for all the good they are doing. Besides if there is a God, I am sure he/she will know his/her enemies and they will be the vermin that perverted their faiths in their vile pursuit of power.

Jesus, you would be charged if you fixed your bra strap and if you happened to be cross-dresser or transexual, you'd be shot immediately.

Curiously they have a moretolerant virew of transsexuals... gay men and women are in huge danger though

"espionage, immoral relations with foreigners, drinking alcohol and insulting high-ranking officials" - sounds like my daily schedule.

I do hope the Ayatollahs will pay for what they do.
