Ahmadinejad's delusions

"When activated it’s best at brutality,
Selfishness, unjust judgments, murder."

Parvaneh Osanloo, wife of union leader Mansoor Osanloo, imprisoned in Iran,

“Mansoor is in jail not because he wanted to” Parvaneh says, “but because he stood up for the rights of his comrades and co-workers; defending the rights of the working people is not a crime and therefore, my husband has done nothing illegal or against the national security. Everything that he has done is legal and legitimate.”
