Human Rights: Iranian Girls Poisoned and Forced to Watch Porn

Days ago, the Ayatollah Khomenei announced he would pardon or reduce the sentences of “tens of thousands” of protestors—but no one believes him. The Iranian foreign minister yesterday denied allegations of torture—and nobody believes him, either. Thus far, more than 20,000 protestors have been arrested, and few have been released. Allegations—and physical evidence—of torture are all over the Internet. More than 550 protestors have been killed, and four people have been publicly executed.
In recent weeks, protests have quieted, but recently-released Iranian journalist Keyvan Samimi says the spring will bring renewed action and that Iranians won’t accept less than regime change. Reza Pahlavi, son of the deposed late Shah of Iran, agrees, but says the country is at a “do-or-die moment.” There is a movement among some factions within Iran to bypass the so-called “moderates”— former President Khatami, for example—and demand Pahlavi’s return to the country until a democratic state can be formed.
Yet there is a new development that may push protests into high gear again. In recent weeks, the regime has forced school girls to watch porn to dissuade them from joining the protest movement. And in some 58 schools, more than 1,000 school girls have been subjected to “revenge poisonings”—in what is being called an act of biological terrorism—and one of them died. Iranian parents see this as an attempt to threaten their daughters into removing themselves from school altogether. The money is now on Keyvan Samimi: there will be more protests. And given the natures of Khomeini, the Basij, and the Revolutionary Guard, there will be more blood.
