Protesters at the prayers refused to chant "Death to America" and booed at the mention of the Supreme Leader. Chants of "Death to Russia" and "Death to China" were heard along with many cries of "Freedom! Give us Freedom!"

Reports are coming from Iran that many female protesters who were arrested and imprisoned have been murdered.

Under Islam, it is a sin to kill a virgin. So...they rape the women first, then they kill them.
Here's a quote from "Rape Under a Fundamentalist Regime" http://www.iran-bulletin.org/women/RAPE.html

Religious rape
According to Islamic lay the killing of a virgin woman is prohibited. This reflects the objectification of women. In prison, if a virgin woman is to be executed, she is first "married" (raped) by one of the guards before execution. Afterwards the guard goes to the woman's family and declares that she is their son-in-law. It is totally distinct from the process of obtaining confession or to humiliate the prisoner. The prison guards are simply obeying Islamic law.

Nadereh was educated in France and had been in touch with opposition groups against the Shah. On the eve of the revolution she returned to Iran to take part in the anti-dictatorial movement against the Shah. For Naderh, like other Iranian intellectuals, it was vital to be present in this decisive historic struggle. During the revolution she worked for a socialist organisation.

She was arrested three years after the revolution. Although others with her alleged crime normally received a few years imprisonment, she was executed after a few month in prison. That was our first shock.

We discovered the reason later. In prison her interrogator took a fancy to her. She had more than once complained of her interrogator's advances towads her. When her case went to court, which consisted of one mullah as judge and no jury, the interrogator accused Nadereh of attempting to escape during her interrogation. The mullah accepted this obviously false charge and sentenced her to death. Both the mullah as the interrogator knew full well that this also gave the interrogator permission to rape Nadereh. The interrogator got what he wanted and fulfilled his religious duty in the bargain. Thousands of young women were executed in Iranian prisons (1), most of them were raped under Islamic law.



Here's the story of the brutal rape and murder of a girl who, though a Green Party supporter, was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.

And yet, knowing their possible fate, throngs of women are still taking to the streets of Iran demanding freedom. The motto of the Iranian people is "Better to Die Fighting Injustice, Than Live One Moment in Silence".
