IRAN: PORNOGRAPHY PRODUCERS TO GET DEATH PENALTY UNDER NEW LAW

from global information gateway

Tehran, 30 April (AKI) - The culture committee of the Iranian parliament approved on Monday a bill sentencing to death producers of 'pornography', videos and films deemed vulgar by the country's censorship. The draft law will now go to parliament where it is expected to be approved by an ample majority. Amateur porn films have a properous market in Iran and can fetch up to 30 euros each.

The market, tolerated for a long time, became a nationwide issue earlier this year after a porn film of popular television actress, Zohre Mir Ebrahimi, having sex with her partner, was released.

Sure, why not? It's not a free country.

i don't believe in the death penalty at all...but i gotta wonder who is that ballsy as to make porns in iran? seems like they're just begging for trouble

[Xochitl]

Of course not, but then they kill people for far less in that country all the time. Still, if you are dumb enough to risk something like that there then you only have yourself to blame.

[Annabel Elaine]

Yep, i agree with all of the above, you have GOT to be stupid to make porn in a country like that! i mean its not like they have any quams about topping people...

[incog]

I wonder how long there has been an amateur porn market there.

[Mr Karl]

lot's of people in that part of the world are willing to die for thier beliefs

(so I hear anyway)

[Black Spiral Dancer]

Unfortunately, this is what happens when Government and Religion are one and the same.

[Mr Karl]

coud make for interesting news if taken to the right levels

I think that if you are living somewhere that it's hard to make cash and you see the potential to make a bunch of it shooting porn... well, you might just do it. Why do people in Palmdale make meth....?

[Cafe_Post_Mortem]

I wonder who they mean by producers. The sellers, the actors, anyone they can find? If someone films you in secrete or against your will how will that end?

But as far as only having yourself to blame, I just can't agree with that. There are a lot of things in a lot of places that will get you killed. Sure you could keep your head down and not be killed, but that is not what people are. When a bicyclist gets creamed by a car, most people don't blame the cyclist because they feel cars are not supposed to hit them. Even though it is common, and the cyclist should have known better than to bicycle on the street. Rock climbers, deep sea fishers, people who live in LA. Most people don't blame them.

Motorcyclist they always seem to blame though... strange huh?

[Bondage Clown]

I agree with Forrest...

The alternative being: Have Bush send in the troops and kill most of their audience? This article is fascinating. The U.S. media has been buttering up Persia for the kill for months now. This angle is intriguing. It appeals to a constituency that knows better. Let the Persians be. Please just let them be.

bush doesn't have the cash, the troops, or the equipment to go after iran right now.

we've squandered a good portion of our military strength in iraq already, and are now in a very depleted situation.

fucking stupidity.

I know we can't go in now (such articles imply a response) Regardless, they keep ratcheting up the rhetoric. It is saber-rattling, but it may not always be so.

its pretty much just a meaningless expression anymore

[TheQuietPlace]

Yes.
