Iranian Women Arrested in Protests Outside Court
[New York Times] Nazila Fathi - Iranian authorities arrested 33 women on Sunday after protests outside a court where five of them were being tried for leading a campaign to gain more legal rights for women. The five were put on trial after they organized a demonstration for women's rights last June, charged with endangering national security, agitating against the government, and taking part in illegal gatherings.
