what aspect of Sharia does peaceful gathering to mourn the dead violate? The Islamic Republic of Iran is teetering on the edge of complete social turmoil and collapse. Frankly, I hope somebody gives it a good shove, which will rid the world of this hateful, violent regime and allow the people of Iran reasonable democratic freedoms.

you seem to have better inside sources than anyone else in the media Police, IRG, Basij are one and the same in Iran, tasked to quell internal dissent, this is police work in a normal country

Be sure about one thing.You have not seen the last of us and we are here to stay and we shall stay for good.We do have the power to turn these SO CALLED DEMONSTRATIONS into a blood bath,Its just we are trying to as peaceful as possible.You celebrate too soon.The people of Iran have chosen us as their leaders and we shall NOT give up in our fight.Nice try though,Velvet like revolutions on us?HUH.NEVER WILL WORK.

About Sharia of Islam that makes you write the crap you have in your talk-back? No one in Iran has ever stopped these observation of mourning ceremonies at all.For your information(although you already know about it)these gathering were halted simply to ensure that no new riots take place.It could have been in any country where safety of citizens is a top priority.Stop indulging in religious affairs with little knowledge that someone might have passed to you.
