Her şeyi berbat etmekten çok korktum
Oscar ödüllü oyuncu Kate Winslet, “The Regime” adlı dizide kurgusal bir ülkenin başındaki kadın diktatör Elena’ya hayat veriyor. Tuhaf, itici, pervasız bir kadın lideri canlandıran ünlü yıldız, ilk defa komediyle izleyici karşısına çıkarak ters köşe yapıyor. Kelebek okurları için yeni dizisini anlatan Winslet, “Her şeyi berbat etmekten çok ama çok korkuyordum. Korkunçtu. Oyuncular genel olarak korkma eğilimindedir. Ve işin aslı bu konu hakkında konuşamıyoruz. ‘Aman Tanrım, korkuyorum!’ diyemiyoruz” itirafında bulundu.

The unclosed Iran dossier and us
The "Iran dossier" is not closed. Protests shaking the fundamentals of the oppression regime are on hold, for now. The Iranian Constitutional Court, half of its 12 members were appointed by Ayatollah Khamenei, ruled the recount of 10 percent of total votes cast. And the June 12 election results were approved once again. The case is closed but not the "Iran dossier".
EU considers pulling ambassadors from Iran
STOCKHOLM - The European Union on Thursday was considering Britain's request to pull the bloc's ambassadors from Iran, an extraordinary move that would send a powerful signal of EU unity in the wake of Tehran's postelection crackdown.

Iran clerics slam reformist Mousavi

Iran recount aims to woo protesters
TEHRAN - Tehran undertakes a partial recount of votes in the country’s hotly debated June 12 elections in a move, that aims at soothing supporters of Mir Hossein Mousavi. Meanwhile, with a similar motive, the country’s president orders a probe over the killing of Neda Agha Soltan.
The Iranian paradigm
Mass demonstrations in Iran protesting the election results have found a very receptive audience in Europe. European governments have said that the Iranian mullahs have stolen the elections, and voiced strong support for the demonstrators. In contrast, in the U.S, President Obama has been low key on Iran, only gradually increasing his support for the demonstrators. The demonstrations in Iran, the most significant political event in that country since the 1979 Islamist revolution, herald important repercussions for Mr. Obama’s policies.
UK fury as Iran arrests staff for ’role in unrest’
TEHRAN - Iran detains several local employees of the British embassy in the Islamic Republic, in a move that further undermines the country’s already strained relations with the West after the disputed June 12 elections.

Post-electoral Iran and the AKP government
Iran has not found peace since the presidential elections. Over time, the opposition movement will calm down and the Iranian Revolution will continue its path. However, nothing will ever be the same. What is happening in Iran reflects discontent within the regime rather than a counter-revolution.
Theocratic democracy (III)
While a reference in a national charter stating the religion of a people might not be a stringent violation of the secularism principle, though it does not conform well with it, the inclusion of a "No law can compromise the principles of Islam" article in the national charter of a country, would not make a country a "theocratic democracy," but would definitely convert it into something much different than a democracy.
Fresh violence in Iran after warning
TEHRAN - Iranian police attack hundreds of protesters with tear gas and fire live bullets in the air to disperse a rally in Tehran. Fresh violence comes after the country’s most powerful security force threatens to crush any further protests over the disputed vote, warning a ’revolutionary’ response
