The lawyer of an Iranian women's rights activist says his client was convicted on security-related charges and sentenced to five years in prison.
Mohammad Sharif described the verdict for his client, 22-year-old women's rights activist Hana Abdi, as harsh. He told The Associated Press Saturday that her prison was also very remote.
Abdi has been in detention since November for advocating for greater freedoms for Iran's women. In Iran women need a male guardian's permission to work or travel. However they can drive, vote and run for office.
In the past three years, Iranian authorities have detained many women who fought for equal rights with men on similar charges.

From the Bible: Leviticus 15:19-30
And if a woman have an issue, and her issue in her flesh be blood, she shall be put apart seven days: and whosoever toucheth her shall be unclean until the even. And every thing that she lieth upon in her separation shall be unclean: every thing also that she sitteth upon shall be unclean. And whosoever toucheth her bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. And whosoever toucheth any thing that she sat upon shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. And if it be on her bed, or on any thing whereon she sitteth, when he toucheth it, he shall be unclean until the even. And if any man lie with her at all, and her flowers be upon him, he shall be unclean seven days; and all the bed whereon he lieth shall be unclean. And if a woman have an issue of her blood many days out of the time of her separation, or if it run beyond the time of her separation; all the days of the issue of her uncleanness shall be as the days of her separation: she shall be unclean. Every bed whereon she lieth all the days of her issue shall be unto her as the bed of her separation: and whatsoever she sitteth upon shall be unclean, as the uncleanness of her separation. And whosoever toucheth those things shall be unclean, and shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even. But if she be cleansed of her issue, then she shall number to herself seven days, and after that she shall be clean. And on the eighth day she shall take unto her two turtles, or two young pigeons, and bring them unto the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. And the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for her before the LORD for the issue of her uncleanness.
Leviticus 20:18
And if a man shall lie with a woman having her sickness, and shall uncover her nakedness; he hath discovered her fountain, and she hath uncovered the fountain of her blood: and both of them shall be cut off from among their people.
Nevertheless, if Christians tried to enforce these provisions, that would be a human rights violation, even though it's in the Bible and many consider the United States to be "a Christian Nation".
In a civilized country, the religious must be deterred- by law, if necessary- from enforcing their beliefs upon the general populace.
Here in the US, we've accommodated that restriction by pretending that half the stuff in the Bible isn't really there, or that God was just joking when he said it, or that it doesn't really apply to us anymore, although maybe it still applies to Jews or something.
Perhaps Islamics in Iran will have to reach some similar state of compromise as pertains to the Qur'an and human rights.

Those laws were meant for the ancient israelites at the time to prepare the way for JEsus Christ.. Christians go by the NEW LAWS. Why the hell do you think we have christianity in the first place? Because of the old laws? no, because of the New Laws. You don't have to believe in them but thats fact. I have even recited several scriptures for it. The Old laws have been abolished, you can see that in the book of Hebrews.
C'mon athiests, your intellectuals, get it right for once. You want to attribute that law to some one? attribute it to the ancient israelites. We have the new laws for a purpose. Just like Germany is not Nazi today just because it was Nazi 40 years ago.

This was supposed to be about Islam, but tiny minds cannot stay on the topic of Islam, and have to resort to the bogus tactic of pointing out the misbehavior of another.
My post was an attempt to get back to the topic, and to point out the intellectual dishonesty of those who purposely derail the topic. | Only a truly oblivious person would roll in here and post more off topic crap about the wrong religion.  |

Yep. still looks like despite the magic of "quotation marks", that it was still Bhkad who introduced Christianity on post #3 of this thread, and he's the OP author.
I suppose I can stop correct you when you stop making the same obvious error.

One LAST attempt..
a MUSLIM cleric says feminists are whores. Well, if feminists support prostitution, then yes, I guess they would be. If not, however, we can dismiss this as the rantings of an pre-enlightment culture; a culture best left alone and rejected when exposed to westernized-society.(damn, I sound like socialist...) |

I think I'll take "corrections" from you with a grain of salt. Further, I already addressed your point, that was bhkad, quoting an idiot who can't stay on topic, Rosie O'donnel. It may be too bad that idiot Rosie does not frequent the site, as she would find many idiots just like herself. |
