Iranian hero
This Iranian doctor who refused to be silenced by Iran’s version of Big Government is a hero, perhaps deserving of a Nobel Peace Prize (and definitely more deserving than a few of the recent winners). In a world of mindless followers and cowards, this man is a hero for others to aspire to, in and outside of Iran.
From the WSJ:
At the height of Iran’s bloody civil unrest this year, a young doctor named Ramin Pourandarjani defied his superiors. He refused to sign death certificates at a Tehran prison that he said were falsified to cover up murder.
He testified to a parliamentary committee that jailers were torturing and raping protesters, his family says. He told friends and family he feared for his life.
