Him to six months imprisonment suspended have been sentenced to two years. Shirin Ebadi with this interview Bob did. Q - In your opinion, such sentences Imprisonment for collecting signatures is why this practice is illegal? Fortunately, the movement of women equality that level of logic and legitimacy that each man received fair and unbiased Forced to accept its demands to be somewhat hard Gyrtryn judges can not ignore these claims and say that women have the right, or half of the men, but because Decision whether to be treated with equality of women, are entered from the other and as they act against national security and is acting against national security, because without a definition in And the body is trying Knndayn blow with gelatin mass while acting against the security organs are clear and obvious. The most important issue is Nsrmnvy legal perspective, ie a person must Intended to have national security is working, even judges who condemn these women are well aware that the demands on women's rights is that offends them and the same legal Hvv The brothers have to have this relationship with no national security. But why judge court issued the present vote is not that courageous woman, as the occasion demands Their right to imprisonment and sentenced to be flogged? Because quite obviously. Fear and fear of public opinion. That means the court gives such permits is not present at the same time express their real intention And public opinion against this decision Bshvrand so without reference to the nature of the crimes alleged by the prosecution and sentences without the text of the final vote is stipulated for Sign someone is arrested and tried, with acting against national security, including vague Knndkh trying to find justification in the public opinion with such style and function but only the legitimacy and legitimacy Demands of women to validate their importance. Q: Do you think considering there costs for the volunteers collecting signatures, and campaign activists is necessary that the process of collecting signatures Continue or stop? Not only this method should not be stopped but should be continued with greater intensity since the arrests and sentences that show this very influential movement And culture from the viewpoint of the ruling patriarchal society feel that such danger is extreme approach, this method does not change because Myztryn peaceful manner and demands on women's rights Never talk in political campaigns and never have the political demands of their conscience and do not suggest they only emphasize on equality and the same issue that even our statesmen, like Accept it or at least agree on speech. We hope one day performance in accordance with the parliament is government speech.

Collecting signatures for some of the issues and perhaps For some people is disturbing example that you can gather signatures for example, one of Iranian ethnic groups should be placed on violence or the followers of religions should Was persecuted, Shaydjm collecting signatures in these instances of disturbing public opinion, but the Knydjm collected signatures for the campaign is that women want to revise the Iran's discriminatory laws, and such a desire can never be Shvdchh disturbing public opinion as to the way the Myztryn peacefully collecting signatures as is. Unfortunately Domain arrests and violence against those who peacefully Myztryn way your wishes as they will expand the day recently, two of the volunteers collected signatures of two Young girl named Raheleh and Nasim were arrested while collecting signatures, and the usual vague term for acting against the public safety they are used. 20 million for each Securities issued and their families unable to pay its declared not. This brave young girls and their families who said they are willing to foot and put them bail And if they were willing to put fans in equality movement was just too much that way for them to produce collateral Ain Shdama the girls themselves are not present The bond they share because others believe have not committed a crime. Which of the Judiciary Act in material collected signatures is a crime one must answer the legal sense Give someone is unfortunately.
