On the eve of World Teacher's Day [October 5th, 2012], as countries across the globe prepare for ceremonies in appreciation of our honorable and dedicated teachers, a large number of innocent teachers with an extensive history of service in Iran's education sector remain behind bars because they had the courage to demand that their civil rights be upheld. Honorable Iranian teachers who have dedicated their lives to servicing the educational needs of remote and deprived regions in Iran have now been banned from the teaching profession and deprived of all their benefits and rights.

She was telling me today in our visit that when Faezah Hashemi came to the ward [this week] and talked to other prisoners, she inquired about her, asking whether Nasrin Soutodeh was among them. This is while Nasrin was sitting right in front of her! Nasrin’s appearance has changed so much; she is so skinny, and her eyes are hollowed, to the point where she is no longer recognizable. Nasrin is no longer like the person in the photos that were distributed everywhere. Her cellmates told Faezeh Hashemi that Nasrin was sitting right in front of her!”

امروز در ملاقات به من می گفت که فائزه هاشمی وقتی وارد بند شده و با بچه ها صحبت کرده است، سراغ او را گرفته است و گفته خانم ستوده هم پیش شما هستند؟ در حالیکه نسرین درست مقابلش نشسته بوده، یعنی اینقدر نسرین قیافه اش تغییر کرده، لاغر شده و چشم هایش گود افتاده که دیگر قابل تشخیص نیست. نسرین دیگر مثل عکس هایش نیست که همه جا پخش شده است. هم بندی ها به خانم هاشمی گفته اند نسرین جلوی رویت نشسته است!»

NEVER AGAIN?

From Charles Krauthammer of The Washington Post:

The world has paid ample attention to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's declaration that Israel must be destroyed. Less attention has been paid to Iranian leaders' pronouncements on exactly how Israel would be "eliminated by one storm," as Ahmadinejad has promised.

Former president Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, the presumed moderate of this gang, has explained that "the use of a nuclear bomb in Israel will leave nothing on the ground, whereas it will only damage the world of Islam." The logic is impeccable, the intention clear: A nuclear attack would effectively destroy tiny Israel, while any retaliation launched by a dying Israel would have no major effect on an Islamic civilization of a billion people stretching from Mauritania to Indonesia.

…Last week Bernard Lewis, America's dean of Islamic studies, who just turned 90 and remembers the 20th century well, confessed that for the first time he feels it is 1938 again. He did not need to add that, in 1938, in the face of the gathering storm — a fanatical, aggressive, openly declared enemy of the West, and most determinedly of the Jews — the world did nothing.

When Iran's mullahs acquire their coveted nukes in the next few years, the number of Jews in Israel will just be reaching 6 million. Never again?

احمد نجفی: همه از تحریم اسکار حمایت کنیم

وی ادامه داد: نمی توان در برابر ساخت فیلم های ضد اسلامی ساکت ماند و تحریم اسکار اقدام مناسبی در این زمینه است.

عضو شورای عالی سینما تحریم اسکار را تصمیم درستی در برابر تولید فیلم موهن آمریکایی علیه پیامبر اکرم (ص) دانست و خواستار حمایت از این رویکرد شد.

احمد نجفی روز چهارشنبه در گفت وگو با ایرنا افزود: معتقدم در شرایط کنونی عدم حضور در اسکار به سود سینمای ایران است.

وی ادامه داد: نمی توان در برابر ساخت فیلم های ضد اسلامی ساکت ماند و تحریم اسکار اقدام مناسبی در این زمینه است.

عضو شورای عالی سینما تاکید کرد: امسال با توجه به شرایط موجود شانسی در اسکار نداریم و به هر حال اسکار نگاه سیاسی خاص خود را دارد.

نجفی همچنین حال انتخاب فیلم سینمایی یه حبه قند برای اسکار را مناسب دانست و توضیح داد: یه حبه قند فیلم بسیار خوبی است و متاسفم که این اتفاق برای این اثر سینمایی رخ داد و این فیلم شانس حضور در اسکار را ندارد.

وی تاکید کرد: در شرایط کنونی همه باید از رویکرد وزیر فرهنگ و ارشاد اسلامی و رییس سازمان امور سینمایی حمایت کرده و فیلم ایرانی امسال به اسکار فرستاده نشود.
