Mcgill Tribune: "Bahá'ís in Iran have been the target of very widespread persecution and prosecution since the revolution," said Hadi Ghaemi, coordinator of the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran. "There's great sensitivity towards Bahá'ísm [in Iran], and there is much cultural bias and attempts [by the regime] to portray them in a wrong light for the general population."

The UN General Assembly’s plenary resolution has criticized Iran’s use of torture, the high incidence of executions, the violent repression of women, and increasing discrimination against Bahá’ís, Christians, Jews, Sufis, Sunni Muslims, and other minorities. Looking at the countries that have voted Yes or No tell us where these governments stand on the issue of Human Rights!

Hossein Derakhshan’s position regarding a number of prisoners of conscience in Iran has caused many to distance themselves from him. I have often wrote about his affiliation with the regime in Iran. This, however, doesn’t change the fact that the freedom of expression is sacred for all and not just the ones with whom we agree.

I received this document in a mass e-mail. It shows in the case of IRI’s revolutionary guards they didn’t receive blood transfusion from the blood bank. The political prisoners who were to be executed had to undergo the blood collection. A catheter would be inserted into their vein and their blood was collected for transfusion.

Logic says something is either true or false. Something is either a member of a set or not. Fuzzy logic says one can be member of a set with different degrees ranging from zero (not a member) to one (full member). Some people suggest that the probability theory provides the only proper framework to address the problems of uncertainty. Others claim that fuzzy logic provides the best framework to deal with perception-based processing of uncertainty. However we like to look at a problem there has been the news of a fellow blogger being arrested in Iran, a country where human rights crimes are committed on a daily basis. Human Rights is not selective. Knowing well Derakshan may come out mocking those who are concerned for his safety at the time of his arrest, activists will continue to defend his right to freedom of expression.
