Sentenced to DEATH for drinking
 

Iran... God what a fucking shithole that country is...

Karim Fahimi was sentenced to death in June. The sentence has now been upheld by the Supreme Court, and he could be executed at any time.
Karim Fahimi, a Kurd, who is married with two young children, was reportedly sentenced to death for drinking alcohol, by a court in the city of Sardasht, western Iran. It was at least the third time he had been convicted of the offence: under article 174 of the Iranian Penal Code, the penalty for consuming any intoxicant is 100 lashes; under article 179, this penalty may be handed down twice, but a third conviction carries the death penalty.

That ought to teach him a lesson.

Since Cancun is probably out, why don't we have Webmaster Access in Teheran this year?

Ummm...so maybe we should invade Iran and liberate these poor souls since they know the law, break it 3 times and now you're in an uproar about his penalty.

try and break the law 3 times in the US... I would rather be shot, than spend 40 years in prison

I would have learned my lesson after the first LASH...he'd already had 200.

Sucks, but I'm sure he knew the consequences.

I guess three strikes and you really are out in Iran.

Perhaps he was drinking again to kill the pain from the first 200 lashes? Poor guy was caught in a Groundhog Day loop.

Welcome to the Middle East.

Believe it or not it's nothing like LA or NY. When you think of it as like the US, you're getting it wrong.

jail and death because of drinking alcohol? thats fucked up!

Why, what are the clubs like out there?

The problem is that demcracy is a straight path to fundamentalism when the voters are extremists. Read the book, Democracy: The God That Failed.

They have a new baseball team in Iran. If you dont hit a homerun you are beheaded.

I wouldn't be surprised :2 cents:

This is insane!!

:1orglaugh

LMAO, now that would be a sweet party.

I'd either try and overthrow the government, or even better, assassinate the Iranian leadership. The people want Democracy, the leadership does not.

:1orglaugh

If buttfucking camels was a crime punishable by death, you'd have no men left in that region.

Hmmmmm, I would never have made my 13th birthday if I lived there... :disgust

i wonder how they enforce that rule .... Like , do they not have wine ? what about cooking wine? or mouth wash ? If you had some apple juice that went bad and turned into cider would you be arrested ?

The Columbian soccor team have a similar rule (seriously).

He should just give himself a booze enema- see that way he is not DRINKING the alcohol.

America isn't so far off.

no alcohol is allowed at Iran, you cant buy it somewhere, you cant even bring alcohol to Iran as tourist traveling there. I was there once, no beer, no checking of sponsor stats, no GFY for 14 days, but it was great.

:1orglaugh

that's totally fucked up

There was a guy that actually did that because he couldn't drink due to some throat condition. His wife would give him booze enemas daily (he was an alcoholic). To make a long story short, he died of intoxication (apparently ass really absorb booze fast) and his wife was almost jailed for murder. Well, imagine explaining that situation to the judge. Just something I remember reading.

that's totally fucked up

All I can say is I may think that sometimes America is going down the shitter, it is a hell of a lot better than living in a country like that.

That's terrible for the poor guy. I just can't imagine someone being given a death sentence for drinking,

Imagine being a woman there. I would have hung myself already.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

After growing up with alcoholic parents, having friends killed by drunk drivers and myself spending time in a wheelchair because of a drunk driver, it would be perfectly ok with me if they made it illegal here to.

That could wiped out the 3/4 of our population if that law will be implemented here on us. :disgust

it doesnt make them a shit hole the law is the law he knew the rules when he took the drink.

What do you expect from some back assward piece of shit country?

and if dating ugly hookers who look like transsexuals was punishable by death, your girlfriend would be a widow.

figured since you offended me, i would return the favor.

LOL.. whatever with your sad solo site. Hit 50 members yet? :1orglaugh

No i havn't, but i don't have to roll over and see her ugly face in the morning like you do :thumbsup


nice to know you're a racist though

A racist democratic Jew from Chicago? lol...

Anyways, you roll over and see a crusty tissue attached to your worn out fleshlight in the morning
