She has been dubbed Iran’s Paris Hilton<\/a> after appearing in a sex video on the internet. <\/p>\n

But while Paris’s exploits propelled her to worldwide stardom, Zahra Amir Ebrahimi faces ruin, a public lashing and even a jail term. <\/p>\n

Ebrahimi is one of the best-known actresses in the strict Islamic country and made the 20-minute sex tape privately with her boyfriend on a camcorder at the flat they shared two years ago. <\/p>\n

Unbeknown to her, it was posted on the internet and widely released as a DVD – angering millions in Iran. <\/p>\n

Her boyfriend, who has not been named by the authorities in Tehran, is suspected of distributing the material illegally. <\/p>\n

He has fled to Dubai and if caught and returned, faces three years in jail and a \u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a36,000 fine for offending public morality. <\/p>\n

Now 25-year-old Ebrahimi faces the disgrace of a court case, has been dropped from the top-rated soap where she played a morally upstanding young woman, and has been forced to deny rumours she attempted suicide.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Anyone who paid attention to the National Newscasts this weekend heard the outrage. In fact, American sexually-liberated women are uniting, via a petition drive at the National Organization for Women<\/a>. Please go there and register and let Iran know that it is not<\/span> OK to fire, flog or otherwise humiliate a woman simply for enjoying premarital sex. This is the 21st Century. Islam, the religion of tolerance<\/a> and peace, does not stand for subjugating women. It stands for liberation<\/a>. Iran must demonstrate Islam’s fairness and respect for women. The solution is clear: Modern Feminists love burqas. Put her in one so she can know freedom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
