Several female protesters and their male supporters were beaten or arrested, today, as the Islamic regime's militiamen and plainclothes agents rushed to break their peaceful protest action held in front of the UN Office in the Iranian Capital.

The protesters had gathered, for the 2nd consecutive time in less than seven days, in order to protest against the impending execution of several female inmates who are sentenced to death based on the application of the backward and discriminatory Sharia law. Some of those poor women, sentenced to death, are "Kobra Rahmanpoor", "Nazanin Fatehi", "Shahla Jahed" and "Fatemeh Haghighat-Pajooh".

Slogans against the persistent human rights abuses were shouted, in the today's action, by maverick protesters seen under brutal attack.

Several of the arrested protesters have been transferred to the official "Islamic Republic Law Enforcement Forces" (IRLEF) station, located in the Gholhac area of north Tehran, and several other to an unknown destination as seen as arrested by plainclothes agents.

The first protest was held, on September 19th, outside the offices of the Islamic Judiciary force, located in downtown Tehran, but was also smashed by the Islamic regime's agents.

Manifestanti picchiate ed arrestate dopo protesta di fronte ad ufficio Onu

Alcune donne insieme ai loro familiari ed amici maschi, sono state aggredite e detenute da miliziani islamici ed agenti in borghese durante una manifestazione pacifica tenutasi ieri di fronte alla rappresentanza Onu nella capitale iraniana.

I manifestanti si erano radunati per la seconda volta consecutiva in meno di sette giorni, per protestare contro l'imminente esecuzione di alcune prigioniere. Esecuzione che avverrà secondo la brutale e retrogada Sharia, la legge islamica. Le povere donne che stanno per essere uccise sono: "Kobra Rahmanpoor", "Nazanin Fatehi", "Shahla Jahed" e "Fatemeh Haghighat-Pajooh".

Vari manifestanti detenuti sono stati portati alla stazione di polizia del commissariato per il rafforzamento della legge islamica. Degli altri non si sa ancora niente.
