Haven't seen anything yet about whether Harper's government is trying to intervene.

The repression there is mind boggling. Sentenced this poor guy to death because he created a technology that someone else used to upload "porn"? To the mullah crowd, that could mean someone showing off a new hairstyle.

I saw in another thread that you used to live there. I have friends whose family left in 1979 when the revolution was happening and things got so violent. The Persian people deserve better, IMO.
