They Must be ExpelledÂÂ
Radio Farda has quoted the International Bahai’i Society that “Government of Iran has expelled 128 Bahai’i students from universities”.

Damn, my bad on the double-comment.
Kamangir: No Roman, it is WordPress’s fault. For some reason the first one was moved to the spam folder.
Yeah, I remember not seeing the Comment Moderation message, so I got worried. I have no luck whatsoever with spam filtering, by the way. Many of my comments end up filed as spam, as do some important emails. Must be a Jewish conspiracy.
Kamangir: You mean an anti-Jewish conspiracy, right? ;)
Nah, we conspire against anyone, ourselves included. ;-)

lol, Serendip, that article was hilarious. In a sad way, true, but still hilarious.
