So after the unrest in June, there have been a round of arrests and reports of police brutality. The latest that has been brought to the public's attention is of the former Foreign Affairs minister who was a supporter of Mousavi, the opposition leader whose loss in the latest Iranian Presidential election sparked an uproar of protests against Ahmedinijad. Mr. Aminzadeh is facing 6 years in 'the clinker' for his support of Mousavi. This has been reported on almost every major news feed around the world. The question is...are you surprised?
