Today at last Amir went to the judge and judge ruled that he has to be moved to the Evin prison. Her sister asked the judge "What is Amir's crime?! Is talking with people and gathering signatures illegal?". He asnwered "Being Legal or Illegal is not the issue. The issue for me is the reason of doing this. He is man, so WHY he is active in these women's issues? He has to study and nothing more". And this man is our JUDGE! He has to learn that being a feminist or believing the equality of men and women is not dependent on being MAN or WOMAN. It depends on having a functioning mind.
Oh ! And one important point to mention. In Iran Hijab is obligatory but we have two kind of Hijab; Manto and Chador. Chador is a big black scarf which reaches to the floor and Muslims wears it. But the Manto is a more moderated hijab just like a long shirt plus a scarf. This one is easier to wear and most of the Iranians wears that (or forced to wear that). I've just learned that if you do not wear Chador (the long black scarf) you DO NOT HAVE A RIGHT TO ENTER ANY COURT! It means if you do not wear chador, you do not have the right to justice! Same thing applies to many hospitals and official offices. This is a shame: If you do not act as I say, you do not have any right in this regime.
