Quote Unquote
A great human rights activist and social studies Phenomena says this about Pakdasht
" "Pakdasht crimes will never be forgotten. The depth of these problems and incidents should be heeded at the regional and national levels. As long as issues of the sort are not attended to in a comprehensive and effective manner, we cannot protect the society as expected."
He goes on to reiterate that, if the root-cause of such ugly incidents is not heeded,
Referring to the shocking crimes committed by two men in Pakdasht, he noted,
And finally, a last emphasis and a warning to all that,
(Just kidding, this was no other than Dr. Chocula himself, Khalibaf)
The hanging of Mohammed Bijeh, who was the main perpetrator of the violence committed against the 28 or so victims was probably the climactic surge in public attention that was paid to this sad but eventful day in Iran. However, the mainstream media chose to ignore the otherwise obvious occurence of such crimes and the systematic brutality that most men within Iran committ against their female counterparts be they wives, sisters, or mothers. I know that there is a social crisis in the male population in Iran, that they are struggling with a terrible appettite for identity that is easily hidden behind the grotesque manifestations of male patriarchal systems, female subordination and discrimination, and gender/economic issues.

"our future moves will not be trustworthy".
Referring to the shocking crimes committed by two men in Pakdasht, he noted,
"The people who committed these crimes were enveloped by violence and revenge and were merciless. It must be seen what conditions led to the emergence of such people and that how many of the same might still be in the society of whom we are unaware.”
And finally, a last emphasis and a warning to all that,
"Otherwise, incidents of the sort recur and people soon forget about them until they happen again and then society wakes up."
