So much for the "they hate their women" meme from my Jewi$h ma$$ media (sorry, but....):
"Iranians protest acid attacks in central city" Associated Press October 23, 2014
TEHRAN — Iranians rallied on Wednesday in the central city of Isfahan and the capital, Tehran, to protest a string of acid attacks on women in Isfahan in recent months, the latest public outcry over the assaults that have shocked the nation.
About 2,000 people gathered in front of Isfahan’s judiciary building, demanding that the perpetrators be brought to justice, reported the semiofficial Fars news agency. Later Wednesday, dozens of people also gathered in front of the Parliament in Tehran to condemn the attacks and demand punishment for those behind such assaults.
Acid attacks are very rare in Iran, but Isfahan has seen a string of eight cases of such assaults over the past few months, police chief General Ismaeil Ahmadi Moghaddam told reporters.
According to police, the attacks all had the same pattern — attackers on a motorbike, one driving, the other throwing acid at women sitting inside a passing car.
This is a hallmark of Sunni militants and extremists connected to the United States, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and the like. That's why this is not only a one-day wonder (for a pre$$ that claims it truly cares about women's rights) but also a vague pos.
Moghaddam said an ongoing police investigation suggests the same attacker threw the acid in all the assaults. Police have already arrested four suspects in the case, but the extent or nature of their suspected involvement was not known.

"Iran hanged a woman on Saturday who was convicted of murdering a man she alleged was trying to rape her, drawing swift international condemnation for a prosecution several countries described as flawed. Reyhaneh Jabbari was hanged at dawn for premeditated murder, the official IRNA news agency reported. It quoted a statement issued by the Tehran Prosecutor Office Saturday that rejected the claim of attempted rape and said that all evidence proved that Jabbari had plotted to kill Morteza Abdolali Sarbandi, a former intelligence agent."
