Iran's Reality

a) How many people died when the police attacked the students? 
How many people died in the Islamic Revolution in 1979?
Where do the arrested people who disappear end up?
How did the government try to restrict the use of electronics? 
Did they really think they could stop the spread of the horrors they were committing?

b) Censorship
-> book banning in India
-> before French Rev - Louis XVI - press censored
Peaceful demonstration attacked 
-> Hungary- students
-> Taliban - girls school video
Arrested people dissappearing
-> gulag in Russia

c) It's horrible! The protesters weren't hurting anybody, yet they were attacked simply because the government didn't agree with them. They should have a re-election, to appease everybody, since there was speculation about a bogus election. Zahra's paradise is so depressing, but it's reality. We, all the way across the globe, appear to live in a different world. I don't know anybody personally who has disappeared. In the comic, so many people have disappeared or are lost, that it would be difficult to find somebody who hasn't lost anybody. Why is there such an insane contrast between these two countries?
