While I don't consider execution to be an appropriate punishment for rape, rape is a far cry from consensual sexual activity and it was disingenuous (at best) for you to leave that tidbit out.

Were the rape allegations true? I don't know and neither do you. What I do know is there are always a lot of allegations of human rights violations when a country is caught in the neo-cons/neo-libs crosshairs. We hear about rape rooms in Iraq, Castro's dictatorship in Cuba, and the wholly made up claim that Venezuela lacks freedom of the press. Yet never a word about the very real abuses that occur in China, Saudi Arabia, etc. The difference, of course, is that China, et al, dance to the global elite' tune.

BTW, if homosexuality is punishable by death in Iran and homosexuals are regularly executed, why the need to (according to you) fabricate rape charges?
