I consider humanitarian causes to be very important, particularly when they involve freedom. Go. Help raise awareness of the the issue.

Imprisoning Children?!

Yes, I just posted, but this is something that cannot be allowed to slide by--imprisoning and using torture-lite against children. By the US government.

We are not sure what has been done to them, though there have been claims of torture. Putting ants and such on 6 year olds, neglect, and such. I do not support torture to begin with, but this is something I would not be surprised to hear about in a particularly malicious dictatorship. Or a terrorist government. But most definitely not the West. Not America.
It is this sort of thing that makes me question my allegiance to this nation, makes me want to move. I love the ideals America stands--or stood--for, but I can never support torture or the loss of rights. It makes my heart hurt.
I would link, but the site's in German, and I can't get my javascript thing to work. Apologies.

I'm alive, I promise

Not that anyone ever reads this poor little blog. I've been busy wrapping up school and all, so I haven't had time to post. But skool is over now, so I'm free to post my little heart out.

Anyway, look at this:
"This morning when Arman Sadeghi and Ismail Salmanpour, both members of the Islamic Student Association activist body at Amir Kabir University in Tehran, tried to enter the university they were attacked by the university’s security guards who were ordered to do so by the university’s president, Dr. Ali-Reza Rahayi, who came to power last year by help of Ahmadinejad.

They broke Arman’s glasses and kicked and punched Salmanpour to the ground until he went unconscious. Both students have been taken to hospital. Soon there were clashes between students and the university guards & Basijis."

I need to research the goals of the ISA,--and at this point, I'm having no luck-- but at the moment, I support them.
