The Iranian government is dragging these young women back to Iran and it is likely they will be punished for the actions of their team mates. At least one of them was literally physically dragged, according to a witness.
I don't know what would happen if this were America. At this moment, the State Department might step in, but if we were not actively in conflict with Iran, I don't know if Marco Rubio would act. Someone should have gotten on that bus, read them the Australian law on seeking assylum and given them a chance to do so.
I have to applaud these protesters. Yes, they are blocking traffic, which I have deplored in the past. But . . they are blocking a specific vehicle being used in the kidnapping, not random people trying to get on with their lives. They are not spitting on police, blowing whistles, getting in police officers' faces or kicking police vehicles, and probably not carrying guns.
