3. My screen is too small to see the images on the signs - what's wow here?
Edited on Sat Oct-29-11 02:34 PM by Rabrrrrrr
Is that a burning/smoking WTC in the middle picture?

Or is the wow because they are protesting as part of OWS?

Or are they a bunch of actors in Dubai advertising for a new play?

Why post something without any context or information or explanation?

"Iranian women gather in front of the Swiss Embassy in Tehran to show their support of anti-Wall Street demonstrators in the United States on October 22, 2011"

18. I appreciate the sentiment---
Edited on Sun Oct-30-11 01:29 PM by trumad
But I think Iranian women have worries that far exceed ours.----and---of course Iran wants to see the end of Wall Street---but do we?



An informed source close to 38-year-old women's rights activist Fereshteh Shirazi told the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran that since her arrest on 3 September 2011 in the city of Amol, she has had very little contact with her family.

The source told the Campaign that Shirazi's trial was held on 28 September, and despite promises made to her that she could see her son on 25 September, she was not allowed to do so and her visit was postponed.

Last week, security officials searached Shirazi's home and seized some of her personal belongings. Since her arrest she has only been able to see her brother once and only for a very short period of time. She is prohibited from seeing other members of her family, including her son.

Shirazi is a management student and women's rights activist who has been active in the Campaign for Change for Equality since March 2009. She was interrogated several times in the past year because of her civil society activities and what she has written in her blogs. Her arrest was probably connected to these activities. According to the source, since her arrest she has been forbidden from seeing or calling her family members.
