#4 Aftenposten has been in contact with the Foreign Ministry, who said that they had not been contacted by Mamandy or his family in connection with the matter.

Gee. I wonder why. Maybe his family has more important things to attend to at the moment? Fuc&ing Iranian gov't is working together at all levels to cover this up. Don't they have something to say about it without the Grand Poobah giving the nod first? I'll bet they would have something to say if Mamand was a mass murderer or something obvious, but when it's stuff where the Iranian system obviously goes overboard it looks like they have basically put off the press with this weak excuse while they coordinate another lame excuse.

#6 Anyone stupid enough to voluntarily go to Iran and then publicly consume beer doesn't get any sympathy from me. Fer criminey sakes, the guy is seeking asylum in Norway already, doesn't he have enough sense to understand why it's such a good idea?
