That's great company
, the only country on that list with a resemblance of being a "real" nation is Pakistan and they wanted to kill a 14 year old girl recently for blasphemy of their good book.
Iran is a crap show for human rights.
-Have a little affair at work because your partner doesn't like you anymore - expect 200 citizens to throw rocks at your head until your bloodied and dead.
-Your Gay and get caught - expect to hang by the neck from a crane with an anti-gay sign strapped on you until you stop moving.(they like to watch you suffer instead of a quick broken neck hanging)
-Cause a riot because your pissed off? - yes sir...your dead in a day.
-Steal an apple at the market because you haven't eaten in 3 days - you loose that hand.
I could go on and on. Iran is brutal...period
