Inside Iran

Zanan monthly has been published for 16 years in women's field. The magazine has tried to make women aware and informed. Zanan was the most expanded and specialized magazine in women's field in Iran.
The news of canceling Zanan magazine's license has been published on Fars news agency and the head editor has not been informed formally by the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance.

The news is short. “Zanan Magazine is closed”. This magazine published for 16 years! Maybe a 16 years magazine should be considered a CHILD but we are in Iran; in a regime in which 12 newspapers was closed in one day and I think the average life of a magazine is no longer than the time required for getting the “publishing licence”.
Zanan (means Women) used to be a “moderated” magazine. It never wrote anything extreme to prevent it's closing but now, after 16 years the only Persian Women's Magazine is closed.

This “punishment” is part of Islamic law but as I know they've never done it in recent years. These 5 people's crimes were blocking streets and shooting to police (no one died). The names (Rigi) implies they might be AbdulMalek Rigi's family members.
I agree that they might be a terrorist group or funded by US / al-Qaeda but this does not justifies AMPUTATE. Just like execution, this is inhuman and … I'm shaking with horror.
OMG! I wanted to write about the SNOW. Tehran is in it's coldest days in 45 years (right now it is -4 centigrade, but it's going to reach -11 tomorrow). We had snow last night and…. amputate (refrence: Iran's students news agency)
