Good Reads: Iranian Lady Drives a Bus

Kamangir | November 1, 2007 | Category Good Reads

I do recommend watching this short documentary about a lady driver in Iran.

Not a coincidence at all, as JSinger also pointed out, that Haartez carried a similar report today about Nabila, the first Muslim female to drive a bus in Israel. Actually, the Iranian-Israeli blogger Kamran [Persian] posted a link to the Iranian video on his Persian blog, exactly because he had heard about Nabila’s story. Watch Nabila’s story here. Does anyone know if her video is available anywhere in an embeddable format?

Viva Iran! Viva Israel!

Farda claims that he confessed to his crime in the court for numerous times. More, graphic, pictures in the photoblog.
