Iranian artist draws 12-year-plus prison sentence

In islam there is NO Freedom of Speech. Insult allah the pig and you get thrown in prison, or murdered. (Except in Texas and Arizona, they don't take islam or jihad lightly)

Go ahead liberals continue to defend islam and the muslims and yours will be the first heads to roll.

Basic human rights do not exist in islam. And this is from a "moderate" islamic country......





Iranian artist draws 12-year-plus prison sentence for cartoons ridiculing parliament

An Iranian artist was sentenced to more than 12 years in prison for drawing a cartoon disparaging members of parliament over their decision to restrict birth control for women.

Atena Farghadani, 28, had what Iran considers a trial in Tehran’s Revolutionary Court on May 19 and learned on Monday of the verdict and sentence. She was charged with “insulting members of parliament through paintings” for drawing the officials as animals, according to Amnesty International.

While she was sentenced to 12 years and 9 months, one source said she could be legally imprisoned only for 7 years and 6 months. The family reportedly plans to appeal.

"Naturally we are all upset by the sentence," said one family member. "But seeing how optimistic Atena has been, we are trying to maintain that outlook, too."

“She’s truly an angel,” a relative of Farghadani told FoxNews.com on condition of anonymity. “She just loves people and animals, and besides for all her artistic talent, she is such a strong supporter of human rights.”

Kind of makes raising a stink about not getting your own can of soda on an airplane seem trivial doesn't it?
