In other news, Argentina has given same sex couples the same legal rights as heterosexual couples, which is very cheering.
And the Iranian government has arrested the wife and brother-in-law of Mohammed Mostafaei, the human rights' lawyer defending Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani, the woman facing death for alleged adultery. There's also an arrest warrant out for Mostafaei over his human rights activities and involvement with Ashtiani. Which isn't cheering at all.
