When the women of Iran risk their own lives and that of their children and husbands to commit an illegal act of assembly for a peaceful demonstration against the unjust laws of the Islamist regime, they hope that the world is listening and supports them in their struggle for freedom and emancipation. But the world seems to be turning a blind eye to their pleas and when they get beaten, arrested and thrown in prisons, not a single government or NGO make an attempt to speak out in defense of their human rights.
Sean Penn went to Iran to see things for himself; he met with the some of the highest authorities and members of the Islamic regime, only to come back to the U.S. and proclaim that the regime of Iran may not look good to the west but they are the choice of the people of Iran and that must be respected. He did not go to Iran with an open mind or with the intention of really grasping the real issues facing the average Iranian, and to consider their pain. Actually when asked, he said they were like Iraqis. It just so happened that during his few days in Iran he showed up for one of the more noteworthy demonstrations organized by women’s rights groups who assembled in front of the Tehran University to protest the Islamic regime’s misogynist rule. Mr. Penn who can pass for an Iranian was assaulted and had his camera taken away from him by the Basijis who were mobilized to confront the demonstrators.
