The sister of Nobel peace laureate Shirin Ebadi was detained on Monday night, according to opposition Web sites quoted by news agencies.
A spokesman for Iran’s Foreign Ministry said countries including the United States and Britain had miscalculated in criticizing the government’s response to the demonstrations, which the government said left at least eight people dead in Tehran. The opposition counted five more deaths in other cities.
'Some Western countries are supporting this sort of activities,' said the spokesman, Ramin Mehmanparast, according to The Associated Press. 'This is intervention in our internal affairs. We strongly condemn it.'"
I thought the first paragraph was hilarious. We, the West, are DEFINITELY forcing the Iranian people to protest in opposition to their government. They don't have a say, or do they? The freedom to protest against a hostile government is such an abomination. We are just so intolerant towards authority. We just need to get over evident abuse and mistreatment and move on. We need to support our government, right or wrong.
The second paragraph is unfortunate but I thought the third paragraph just proved the Iranian Foreign Ministry's stupidity. What are they THINKING? Are they even thinking? Hmm ...
The last quote by the spokesman in the fourth paragraph was, again, a knee slapper. They strongly condemn our promotion of freedom, to practically live in objection, which their own people accept as a right. Don't get mad at the West and don't get mad at your people. I wonder who's left to be mad at? It's rhetorical ...
Of course, beating and killing your own people is completely a sign of savagery.
I'm surprised Russia and China haven't chimed in on this one. Is it because they complied with the West's efforts in censoring Iran's nuclear capability?
What a joke.
The remaining portion of the article can be found in the title for those of you who are still interested.
