Iranian Car-Racing Queen Banned from Competition
Kamangir | September 1, 2007 | Category Human Rights, Iran, Islamic Republic, Women
The Iranian photographer Ako Salemi has taken pictures of the car-racing queen of Iran. The Tehran-born Ph.D.-student has been driving since thirteen. She was recently banned from entering the stadium for the national competitions. She says this is normal to her and that she never knows if she will be allowed to take part in the competitions or not. Interestingly, female photographers were banned form the stadium as well. Anyhow, Sedigh is the queen of Iran’s car-racing amid all this [Persian]. More pictures in the photoblog .

Is it just me or she looks like Angelina Joline :-)
She is a very nice lady,and I hope she is smart too.
I think she is smart, she has her PHD. But then having a PHD does not always indicate that the person is smart, just look at Ahmadinejad!!!!
what is her first name? She is beautiful and I feel sad for her.
Just to say thanks! Your visit from my humble place made very happy dear Kamangir.
[...] the way, in Iran the racing Queen Sedigh has been banned from entering the stadium for the national competitons. What happens, ayatollahs? Do you think she was going to win again? Well, yes… [...]
