UK: Muslim Woman Writes of Parental Abuse, Threats to Kill Her Over "Western Lifestyle"
http://www.realcourage.org/2009/09/uk-muslim-woman-writes-of-threats-to-kill-her/
-- Daily Mail: "My mother hired a hitman to kill me: The shocking story of a Muslim woman whose parents disapproved of her Western lifestyle"
-- report from Sofia Hayat
-- "Sofia Hayat was imprisoned and her mother threatened to kill her because she led a Western lifestyle"
-- Sofia Hayat: "The text message forwarded to me from my younger sister Saira was concise and chilling: 'Mum's sent a hit man to kill you,' it read. 'Be careful.' As I read those words, my first instinct wasn't fear or even shock, but simply survival."
-- Sofia Hayat: "I'd become accustomed to behaviour like this from both my parents - behaviour that anyone else would find abhorrent - and I was emotionally numb to their threats. But I also knew that my sister's warning was deadly serious and my life was in real danger. I'd been in hiding for several weeks when I received the text. I was born in Gravesend in Kent in 1974 and brought up there in a devout Muslim family with three sisters and two brothers."

Iran: Report on Anti-Democracy Imam on Iranian Prison Rapes
http://www.realcourage.org/2009/09/report-on-mesbah-yazdi/
-- Unconfirmed reports by INN state that "Iranian pro-democracy sources" have alleged that Ayatollah Mesbah-Yazdi has been speaking publicly on the issue of prison rape
http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/133214
-- INN reports that Ayatollah Mohammad Taqi Mesbah-Yazdi spoke to crowd on prison rape "in Jamkaran, a popular pilgrimage site for Shi'ite Muslims on the outskirts of Qom, on August 11, 2009"
-- INN reports that this is "[a]ccording to Iranian pro-democracy sources, the gathered crowd heard from Ayatollah Mohammad Taqi Mesbah-Yazdi and Ahmadinejad himself regarding the issue"
-- "Mesbah-Yazdi is considered Ahmadinejad's personal spiritual guide"
-- Mesbah-Yazdi: "The necessary precaution is for the interrogator to perform a ritual washing first and say prayers while raping the prisoner. If the prisoner is female, it is permissible to rape through the vagina or anus."
-- Mesbah-Yazdi: "If the judgment for the [female] prisoner is execution, then rape before execution brings the interrogator a spiritual reward equivalent to making the mandated Haj pilgrimage [to Mecca], but if there is no execution decreed, then the reward would be equivalent to making a pilgrimage to [the Shi'ite holy city of] Karbala."
-- Mesbah-Yazdi: "The child borne to any weakling [a denigrating term for women - ed.] who is against the Supreme Leader is considered illegitimate, be it a result of rape by her interrogator or through intercourse with her husband, according to the written word in the Koran."

--- "A senior Iranian cleric seen as President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's spiritual mentor said obeying the head of government was like obeying God, the moderate Etemad-e Melli newspaper said on Thursday."
--- "Firebrand cleric Ayatollah Mohammad Taqi Mesbah-Yazdi believes the authority of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei comes from God, not from the people."
--- "Mesbah-Yazdi has long held that democracy and elections are incompatible with Islam."

Current TV: "Laura Ling and Euna Lee make first statement regarding events leading to capture"
-- Current TV reports:
-- "We were firmly back inside China when the soldiers apprehended us. Producer Mitch Koss and our guide were both able to outrun the border guards. We were not. We tried with all our might to cling to bushes, ground, anything that would keep us on Chinese soil, but we were no match for the determined soldiers. They violently dragged us back across the ice to North Korea and marched us to a nearby army base, where we were detained. Over the next 140 days, we were moved to Pyongyang, isolated from one another, repeatedly interrogated and eventually put on trial and sentenced to 12 years of hard labor."
