Iran, once the land of nightingales and rose gardens, now the land of violence and darkness!

In other parts of our worlds 3 women won the Noble Peace Prize for their efforts to bring peace to their countries. In Iran despite having a woman Noble winner and the efforts of many to stop violence against citizens, the authorities use violence as a routine method to silence every voice of decent.
