Iran's Human Right's Issues.

Up to this very day, Iran is an enigma. Which means that it is a fundamentalist religious regime and an industrialized democracy. A country where women are educated and can legally vote but can be subject to arrests, beatings, and imprisonment. A country where youth who use Facebook evident reelect political candidates with an 11th-century concept of divine right law. It is both nationalistic and cosmopolitan, theocratic and modern, fundamentalist and socialist. It is, in all probability, a secular democracy waiting to happen.

Human rights abuses including arbitrary arrest, torture and extensive use of the death penalty still persist in Iran, Amnesty International warned today on the 30th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution. Recently the authorities bulldozed a mass grave site at Khavaran, near Tehran. Where many of those executed are thought to be buried. Relatives of those killed have been arrested and imprisoned after gatherings to commemorate the executions. The rights that are being violated among the country of Iran are:

Article 7

• All are equal before the law and are entitled without any discrimination to equal protection of the law. All are entitled to equal protection against any discrimination in violation of this Declaration and against any incitement to such discrimination.

Article 10.

• Everyone is entitled in full equality to a fair and public hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal, in the determination of his rights and obligations and of any criminal charge against him.
