Here's some interesting news...

Tehran's police chief out, exposed in brothel

by Mark Silva

New York's got nothing on Tehran.

The day after New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer's announced resignation for involvement in a prostitution ring, comes word that the police chief in Tehran -- yes, Iran -- has resigned following his arrest, naked, in the company of six nude prostitutes in a brothel, overseas wires are reporting.

"Reza Zarei stepped down from his post following the raid, reportedly ordered by Ayatollah Mahmoud Hashemi Shahroudi, chief of the judicial authorities, Ynetnews reported today.

"Zarei has been in charge of enforcing the Islamic dress code on Iranian women to help with "moralizing of the city," the Israeli news agency reported. During the past six months, hundreds of young people were arrested for not honoring the Islamic code of behavior.''

"Rumors of the brothel incident had been rampant in Iran for two weeks. Last week Zarei was replaced as Tehran's police chief after four years.

"The arrest wasn't reported by any of Iran's official news agencies, Ynetnews reported. Farda News, associated with Tehran's mayor who is also a former police chief, broke the story.

Read a story about this that they are keeping the story quite since they are having elections today in Iran. But the story is like an Iranian version of the Spitzer saga in America, only more hypocritical and if found guilty, this guy will probably get put to death, considering they are threatening to kill that gay guy. :(

One thing to note here, he resigned (well probably was fired). Even in Iran there is government accountability for officials breaking the law. :p

What is this with politicians and prostitutes?
Or senior government officials and prostitutes?

It might be contagious!:confused:
 
Those involved in pornography in Iran could now face the death penalty as Iran's parliament has this week dubbed producers, directors, cameramen and actors in the adult film industry in Iran as "corrupters of the world."

The AP reports that Iran's parliament on Wednesday voted in favor of a bill that could lead to death penalty for persons convicted of working in the production of pornographic movies.

With a 148-5 vote in favor and four abstentions, lawmakers present at the Wednesday session of the 290-seat parliament approved that "producers of pornographic works and main elements in their production are considered corruptors of the world and could be sentenced to punishment as corruptors of the world."

The term, "corruptor of the world" is taken from the Quran, the Muslims' holy book, and ranks among the highest on the scale of an individual's criminal offenses. Under Iran's Islamic Penal Code, it carries a death penalty.

:rolleyes:
 
I am assuming that if Mr. Reza Zarei was able to vote in that parliament, his would have been one of the four abstentions. lol
 
It's interesting that a story like this occurs and the major media does not report it. Surely, this is far more interesting than Spitzer. I mean, 6:1 who's got the better story?

Eh covering Tehran in a bad light is not a good idea for the press. Wouldn't want to like like Dubyas cronies :o
 
^ fair enough, but a story like this is different than "Iran has nuclearer weapons pointed at America!" ;)

But doesn't fall into "Iran are a fairly reasonable bunch not a basket case willing to point nukes at America" ;)

Its the governer of NY which is a big deal,he was also all aint prozzies etc.
 
Dont you think that all this hoohaa about the Middle Easts views on women, morals, pornography etc is just to affirm themselves that they dont want anything to do with how the 'West' does things?
I feel only now, are all these things coming out of the woodwork, they are entrenching their beliefs about these things because of the heavy 'West' influence/effect on the people in the Middle East. It sounds like they are beginning to lose grip on their own people.
Humans will be humans, and begin to believe which ever they feel might suit them better. The government knows this so is strengthening its position and views against these things hoping the public will follow.
I feel its only a matter of time before these archaic values are done away with.
Humans have the right to live the life they chose, and not let government dictate these morals.

Umm - aren't they all the same?

You can buy services from all of them - $80 000 gets you a good time in Washington. R500 000 a year gets you a cover up on the arms deal.
 
Oh wow, another religious hypocrite who loves sex and hates woman..
Nothing new here.. Shouldn't he be hanged? Girls get stoned to death for doing next to nothing..
 
There may be the chance that nothing happens if it is kept quite, but if the news gets out than there will be pressure to act according to other actions.
