Appalling News From Iran
Anna Ghonim writes,
To all interested in Iranian issues, Amnesty International UK has a heartrending case and action alert on their front page about a 19 year old girl with mental capacity of an 8 year old sentenced to death for sexual indecency committed when she was a child (apparently she was prostituted by her mom). Please consider helping by sending letters to the Iranian authorities by fax or e-mail.
The Amnesty International UK page, with more background along with fax numbers and email addresses, is here. They ask for letters to be sent IMMEDIATELY.
One of the loveliest things about America's threatening policies toward Iran is that they help the psychos who do this kind of thing consolidate their power. In the same way, we may have Osama bin Laden to thank for George Bush's reelection. It's like all the world's lunatics are part of one big, secret alliance.

Check the UK Amnesty site again - Hajieh Esmailvand is to be stoned to death for adultery on the 21st, and perhaps a 17-year-old lad hanged soon thereafter.
