Iran, proving they do not understand irony

An Iranian actress was sentenced to one year in jail and 90 lashes for her role in a film about the limits imposed on artists in Iran.

Because, obviously, punishing someone for being in a film about restrictions on free speech is just fine and dandy. It's not hypocritical at all.

(Yes, I'm aware that Iran probably doesn't have freedom of speech.)
