Maryam Shariatmadari, 32, was found brutally beaten and denied medical treatment after she was arrested, detained and jailed for protesting the Muslim mandate for the wearing of the hijab.

She had been demonstrating against the hijab in Iran, standing atop a box and waving the cloth, when a policeman pushed her violently to the ground. She needed immediate medical treatment, but was denied and instead, just tossed into prison.

She was then sentenced to a year in jail for violating sharia law.
And now reports are whispering that she was brutally beaten, along with her mother — though Radio Farda is failing to report the story.
Here’s more on Shariatmadari’s courageous fight, from the Daily Mail:
An Iranian woman who was badly injured after being pushed off a box in Tehran as she was waving her hijab during a protest has been jailed for a year.
Maryam Shariatmadari, 32, was demonstrating against laws which force women to wear a veil in the Islamic republic when a policeman violently shoved her to the ground on February 23.
Despite journalists and supporters reporting that the woman needed ‘urgent’ medical attention after suffering a ‘severe’ leg injury that required stitches, she was kept in prison before being sentenced.
According to activist group My Stealthy Freedom, Shariatmadari was sentenced to a year in jail for breaking the strict nation’s laws.
But human rights lawyer Nasrin Sotoudeh, who represented the woman, said the verdict ‘even goes against the laws.’
According to the Center for Human Rights in Iran, Shariatmadari was forced to undergo knee surgery for her injury.
The organisation cited Jila Baniyaghoo, a journalist in the country, who claimed Shariatmadari was at one point taken out of surgery by police when she was about to go under the knife.
Tehran Police spokesman Saeed Montazer al-Mahdi said on February 25 that police – though they have a responsibility to tackle ‘visible crimes’ – had no right to ‘violate the law’.
In the shocking video, Shariatmadari, standing above Tehran pedestrians on a utility box, is seen defiantly waving a headscarf on the end of a stick.
But the protest turns nasty when a police officer climbs onto the podium and pushes her to the pavement, earning jeers from spectators.
The veil has been a mandatory dress requirement for women in Iran since the Islamic Revolution in 1979.
It comes days after footage showed another protester, Shaparak Shajarizadeh, standing on a traffic island in the Iranian capital Tehran and waving her headscarf around on the end of a stick.
In the latest clip, the woman is seen raising the headscarf above her head by a set of traffic lights in Tehran.
Two policemen confront the protester and ask her to come down to the pavement.
She asked what offence she had committed, and was told she was ‘disturbing public order’, according to The New Arab.
One activist said: ‘No man has the right to treat a woman like this’.
Around 30 women have been arrested in Tehran for refusing to wear a headscarf, it has been reported.
A movement called White Wednesdays encourages women to flout regulations by capturing footage and pictures of themselves without their hijabs and posting it online.
The Islamic code also forbids women touching, dancing or singing with men outside their families.
Women are only allowed to show their face, hands and feet in public and are supposed to wear only modest colours.
Over the years, however, women have pushed back the boundaries of the law, with many wearing loose, brightly coloured headscarves far back on their heads.
In November, footage emerged of women standing up to police and strangers after walking the streets without hijabs.
At one point a female campaigner shouts ‘spit out your insults’ after being told to cover her head while a second film shows a man threatening to slap a young woman for breaking the law.
Another video showed a father standing up for her daughter after a passer-by ordered her to ‘observe hijab’. The father stands his ground and tells the man ‘I don’t believe that nonsense’.

It’s hard to believe that western feminists rationalize a ‘World Hijab Day’ as something to celebrate.

It is strange that Western feminists hate women who criticize Islam more than they hate Islam itself. It is a very dangerous and twisted mentality indeed. 🙁

Islam is 1984 brought to life. Her story is not unique, this is what Muslims do to the ‘infidels’ once they are the majority and get power. And if you’re a moderate Muslim, then the fundamentalists treat you with the same iron-fisted brutality. All she wants is not to be forced to wear a stupid rag on her head and they’re willing to destroy her body and life over it to appease some imaginary inexistent God.
You cannot reason with brain-dead barbarians you must eliminate them entirely. The best thing that can happen to Iran is if Trump/Bolton work on regime change and bring freedom back. More than half the Iranians are pro-USA so they will be very grateful if America removes the Islamic state.

“moderate” muslums like “moderate” nazis don’t in anyway oppose the vile ideology of islum or nazism.

I agree but my point was that those Muslims who want to be more Liberal/Moderate get attacked by the Radicals. Islam naturally tends towards greater extremism-so even the Muslims who think they’ll be left alone to listen to their music and drink beer won’t-they’ll get attacked by the ‘purer’ believers. That’s why Islam needs total elimination.

I agree with your last statement.
Please define “moderate” muslum and “radical” muslum.

The way I define it is the ‘radicals’ are the ones who follow Islam literally and the ‘moderates’ are those who reject the violent/fundamentalist teachings and they prefer a more liberal secular society.
There are non-violent muslims but they still support the terrorists so I put them in the radical group. At the end of the day though the problem is the ideology of Islam, it must be eliminated along with the terrorists/radicals.

They are trying to leave their female hating cult but sadly many are murdered/honor killed for it. Or a the very least threatened with murder for trying to leave. Those damn islamic apostasy laws are all that keeps the rape and murder cult afloat. Without apostasy laws islam would implode.

I though you would leave a sight for intelligent people after I dissipated you for the mohammedan troll that you are in and earlier thread. Get lost and crawl back into what ever islamic hell hole you crawled out of. Humans are talking and do not want to be interrupted by sub human savages. I do have one question for you, now that islam is dying because sane muslims are bailing from your female hating cult, what will a mindless fool like you do? You mohammedans can not think for yourselves and will be lost without the control of some ideology to tell you what to do, what to think. I suppose you could become a Nazis as the Nazis ideology would be the closest to your brain dead cult of islam? Personally I could care less and will let God deal with sub human savages such as yourself.

As soon as someone tells me he/she is “intelligent” I know right away they are not the brightest bulb around.
And I use them for amusement after that. 🙂

I judge intelligence by what people write and say. Sorry you lose. Now don’t you have some wives to beat for disobedience or perhaps you have a stoning to attend of a rape victim for the crime of getting raped. Or maybe a beheading to enjoy for someone who refuses to bow down to your pagan moon god.

Please, guys, we don’t need to fight over petty things like this, all of us have miscommunications. Remember, the West has too many enemies right now as it is, and only they stand to gain if we fight among ourselves.

There is nothing petty about rape and murder. Alleged-Comment is an evil bastard that not only hates women but is a mohammedan troll who supports the female hating cult of islam.

Agreed but the word ‘radical’ is redundant, it’s just Islam–which is an extremely radical/violent religion.

Just gang raping little boys and murdering human beings (nonmoslems). Pretty much sums up mohammedan Michigan.
Almost forgot .. chopping out the clitorises of the gilts (unbred moslem females)

iran and islam are very much deserving of total destruction. Then let evolution re-populate the place with non muslims. What is seen in iran is what democrats see as America’s future under them.

Alternatively we can use the Ataturk example in Turkey (see article below, good read). You effectively ban Islam, shut down the mosques, shisha-bars, re-educate Muslims but the key really is to go after young Muslim children and teach them secularism (anything but Islam). Then the next generation will become democratic and non-Muslim.
The problem in Turkey is that they didn’t eliminate Islam completely which lead to its resurgence and is now run by another tip-pot dictator Erdogan who dreams of resurrecting the Ottoman Empire. Nearly all Muslims today were former non-Muslims (everyone is born an Atheist until people are brainwashed into religions by their parents), so we’d just be turning them back to what they were before Islam conquered and enslaved them.
But yes if we find ourselves in WW3 against Islam and if the only way to save ourselves is to nuke the enemy then so be it.

My point was about how Islam was largely defeated in Turkey only. His battle with Greeks is irrelevant to this discussion unless you think we should stop fighting Islam because Ataturk did bad things too.

Perhaps the first thing this young woman should do after she gets out of prison, is change her name. Having ‘Sharia’ removed from her name may give her a bit more confidence.
