Sakineh

Have you heard of Sakineh Ashtiani? No? Then read this, please!

Sakineh Ashtiani is a 42-year old mother of two children who lives in Iran.

LIVES is the point, cause maybe she will be dead soon.

She was sentenced to death by stoning for adultery and murder of her husband.

She claims that she was forced to admit it and honestly, I believe her.

If you would live in a country that kills you if you have sex with another man, would you be that stupid and do it? And why would she kill the father of her children?

Well, even if she did it, which I clearly believe she didn't, that doesn't give Iran the right to kill her.

Especially not in such a BAD way! I will explain it to you:
STONING is a way that is often used for executions in Iran.

The women is put into a hole that goes up to her hips, so she can't move, her arms are buried in this hole aswell. Now, people can take stones and throw it at her till she is dead. The rule is that the stones can't be too small cause that would cause more Pain than "neccesary", she would die too slowly, the stones can't be too big cause she would be dead too early. I can't even imagine how much it has to hurt, physically and mentally, and I can't imagine how people can even have fun at killing people with stones, like in the middle ages.

Now I don't want to say Iran is a bad country in general, all I want to say is that it is ABSOLUTELY NOT RIGHT to execute people, especially NOT for this, especially NOT this way!

So, Sakineh's lawyer and one of her sons are in Jail at the moment aswell. Why?

Two german journalists were in Jail for reporting about that. Why?

And Sakineh? She is still in prison, they already whipped her with !!99!! whippings as her first sentence, now she awaits her death, either due hanging or maybe due stoning.

Please, if you have any kind of sense for justice sign the petition to save Sakineh from her certain death!

Fame?

"Would you like to be famous?" is a question almost everyone heard before.

I did. And I must say I really can't decide and this is the reason:

Being famous can be wonderful, you get the chance to get peoples attention for the problems in the world. If you are famous, they will listen to you and maybe make that change.

Also, you can donate the money you earn to good causes.

I can't forget to mention that you can show the people of the world that YOU can do something, you can do it so good, that people know you for that. You get love from all around the world, and of course you can afford so much more with your money. You can buy a mansion, you can dress up like a queen!

But on the other hand..

Think a second about Michael Jackson. What comes to your mind?

Perv? Pedophile? Weirdo? Skeleton robot? White?

Well, that is what a lot of people think of him.

Too many.

The tabloids caused this. I did so much research and NONE of this is true.

99,9% of all the stuff the press says is not true. They make up stories that destroy famous people. Good news don't sell, bad news do. Think about that:
You're in a shop and there are two magazines. One cover says: Paris Hilton had sex with 10 girls. One of them talks exclusive to us. Paris the sexslave...

The other cover says: Paris Hilto visits Hospital and donates 10000$.

Which one would you buy? I honestly would buy the first one, cause it just sounds more interesting. And we human beings get happy when we can slander about other people. This is just our nature...

And, I would have no privacy as a celebrity. Paparazzis following everywhere, haunting you and catching you without Makeup.

People crowding around you, which can be wonderful at times, but sometimes it just isn't.

So, would you like to be famous?

My brother.

I recently talked to my older brother Miguel, who is 27 and experienced a lot in his life, for example moving from Bolivia to Germany, losing his father who stayed in Bolivia, seeing him for the first time after 17 years, having a new stepfather, getting attacked by him, and so much more.

Now, a lot of things happened between and after all of that.

So much, that he doesn't want to talk to our mother anymore. He doesn't want his family anymore cause they "don't do him good" and he wants to be happy.

Well, I somehow understand him, but on the other hand, I don't get how you could ever leave your family behind. I know what it is like to lose a father, he's not dead, nor is he far away, to be honest, he's about 50 meters away in another room. I know what it is like to suddenly feel hate for someone, cause he did something wrong, but our mother?

Our mother went through so much more than you can imagine. She married with 17, got her first child with 18, had 4 misscarriages after that, my brother Miguel after that, my other brother Jorge was not even born when she went to Germany, pregnant in month 8. Alone, with nothing but almost 3 children, in a country where she couldn't even talk to anyone although she's german, having no money. Marrying an abusive and addicted man, who happens to be my father and my brother Patrick's aswell. Divorce, back together, breaking up, marrying and now, hopefully, a divorce. This is the reason he doesn't want to talk to her anymore, because she decided to take back the man who got her into so much trouble, I would like not to go deeper into this, but I can tell, he is the devil. And there is really no person on earth that I "hate" as much as him. Well, I'd say "hate" is a very strong word, let's say I just REALLLY dislike him and sometimes it goes into hate. He also scares me, honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if he would kill someone...

Anyway, my brother doesn't talk to my mom anymore and I had to search for almost 5 years to get the connection to him back and I must say... I don't understand him.

I know he is a very strict person, I know he is about work, intelligence and knowledge.

But what I didn't know is that those events changed him so much.

He told me to give up in trying to change my family. I told him I won't.

He told me I should first think about myself and then other people. How could I ever put myself in the first position? I want to change the world, and that starts with my family.

Sadly, I am one of the few people who talks to everyone in the family. And my family is big!

My mother doesn't talk to my brother, cause he said she killed our granduncle. The opposite is right, she saved his life after my uncle made him become even more ill.

My family is very strange, but as I said before, I will never ever stop trying to make Peace between them and telling them my opinion. You can either call me insane, like my brother does, or you can do your part and try to make Peace between people.

Well, that's it for now.
