Not everyone is participating in Islamofascism Awareness Week this year…
At least not in the way we had hoped.
This is horrible news…
Iran sentenced three of the arrested student leaders from Amir Kabir University to 7.5 years in prison. The regime sentenced the student leaders after extracting confessions from them during torture at the infamous Ward 209 in Evin Prison.
Rooz Online reported this sad news:
Though the three detained Amir Kabir University students have repeatedly denied publishing material deemed insulting to Islam, and no evidence has been provided in support of the charges, the judiciary sentenced the three students to a total of seven and a half years in prison.
Meanwhile, an Amir Kabir student news bulletin reported that the Amir Kabir University president, who is accused by students of cooperating with the fabricators, is one of the plaintiff’s in this case. In a related report, a conservative Majlis deputy asked the judiciary to confront students who protested President Ahmadinejad’s visit to Tehran University last week, labeling them as “American mercenaries.”
According to the attorney representing the three students, the defendants have repeatedly denied the charges. Several other students who were also arrested in relation to this case and were later released have filed a complaint against members of Amir Kabir University’s Basij organization for fabricating the insulting material.
Majid Tavakkoli, Ehsan Mansouri and Ahmad Ghassaban have been sentenced to three years, two years, and two and a half years in prison, respectively. There is no evidence in this case other than confessions extracted from the student under torture at the infamous Ward 209 in Evin Prison.
Incorrect University stands in solidarity with the suffering students from Iran.

What an outrage! But I’m sure the ACLU and Amnesty International will get right on the case, and they’ll be released shortly.
Or not.
