Young people flogged for taking part in celebration in Iran


NCRI - Iranian authorities flogged 54 young boys and girls for attending a celebration in the northern province of Mazandaran, a state-run daily reported.

The youth were arrested by the "anti-vice police" in a park on the suburbs of Babol as they were celebrating according to a report by state daily IRAN on Thursday.

The report said that all 54 were flogged inside the offices of the Ministry of Justice in Babol.

Co-ed parties are banned in Iran. Thousands of teenage boys and girls were arrested last year for taking part in similar celebrations. Some were flogged in public."

Cults suck, don't they. And remember; they've vowed to bring Shari Lewis law to the United States.

Damn, but don't I wish Ronnie was still at the helm.
