Except gay teens:

Ahmadinejad says progress in Iran is a source of pride to all freedom-lovers.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Tuesday the progresses and successes made by the Iranian nation following the Islamic Revolution are a source of pride for all freedom-lovers and justice-seekers across the world.

Addressing a gathering of Iranians in Mazandaran province Ahmadinejad, one of the candidates in the June 12 presidential election, reiterated that the Islamic Revolution took place in an effort to ensure justice and provide equal rights to the people.

Except women who are caught out in public without a veil.

In May 2007 a group of Police officers got involved in physical struggle with three girls who they questioned for their “immodesty”. According to eye witnesses, the officers were trying to arrest the girls. They women were beaten to a bloody pulp. Iran Press News (Persian) and Kamangir found the clip and posted the video of the aftermath of this vicious attack by the “Modesty Police” on unveiled Iranian women in Tehran.
