This is horrible. I don´t know what kind of pressure the world is able to put on Iran but it mustn't look away from this torture.

To accept and respect a country's sovereignty is one thing.
To refuse to accept ongoing crimes towards humanity in the very same country is another. It ought to be possible to have a code of honour that values both these statements - or isn´t it? I really wonder.
