The Mullahs in Iran have proscribed fun from the lives of the common folk. No music, no dancing, no drinking, no nothing. A Land of No more severe than a visit to a New Jersey Beach, however Iranians often leave their Islamic Republic without the strictly enforced morality of the Police Guidance Patrols. Their love of personal freedom reached a red light in Jomtien last week, when Thai police arrested an Iranian couple for having sex on the beach. The man professed his ignorance that sex in a public place was illegal in Thailand. They were fined 500 baht each. Their names were published online and now the couple is seeking political asylum overseas, for the punishment for thier sin in Iran is public stoning in a stadium of the Police Guidance Patrols' choosing.
I wish them luck in their flight from justice.
