Days are running quickly and I have no time to sit and write... I try to catch the sunny days - first days of real spring (or maybe even summer), which are still interwined which cold foggy mornings and rainy afternoons. I divide my time between work, studies, gym and relaxing with my beloved. Altogether it's being quite difficult, but I never was a person that likes being bored.
Anyway. Recently I am reading a lot about Islam and human rights, as right now I am studying about religion and social transformations. I also read yesterday about Iranian girl, Delara Darabi, who was supposed to be executed these days as a punishment for a crime that took place when she was only 17, and which was not proven to be her guilt.
Now she is 22, and she is still in prison, waiting for the sentence to be done. In January she tried to commit a suicide. I am absolutely thrilled by the way some countries force their people to live without basic rights and protection, and upset how little people from outside can do about it.
Although many of Islamic states signed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948), many of these rights are violated. There are too many arguments from the Muslim side against accepting and respecting these rights. One if them states that every culture must have its own rights, the other - that the rights provided by Islam are better than any others, and so their law does not need any other regulations...
Every day I thank God that my fiance could run away from his country and that we can live in peace. And we will, because now there is nothing that can force him to go back there.
If you want to help to save Delara, you can send an email to representatives of Iranian judicature:
