I live in Iran. you have NO IDEA what's it like living in Iran...
(A)nything can be against law. law is what they say, they can accuse you of anything they want without having any proof...you can get arrested and go to jail...for playing music, wearing T shirts, holding your girlfriends hand in public, posting your pictures in instagram, filming yourself dancing...you can be executed for doing metal, defending women's rights, being homosexual or atheist, or just being or thinking different from them.
now tell me, when you live in such place, can you just surrender yourself to them and shut the **** up for your whole life and never, never object or protest against anything...maybe you think you can, but those guys just couldn't take it anymore and they screamed though they knew they're risking their lives...
sorry for my angry words. your love and support and the fact that you think of us and remember us and care for us, means the world for us...wish me luck and that I won't get arrested for my "blasphemic" and "satanic" comment.
