The couple, Per Sandberg, Norway’s’ minister of fisheries and his 28 year old Iranian girlfriend Bahaeh have got into trouble for their recent vacation to Iran.

For not informing the government beforehand about his trip to Iran and taking his government issued phone, a breach of security, The 57 year old Minister, member of Norway’s “progressive party” was forced to resign yesterday.

That is not the end of it. You see, the now ex-minister and his Iranian girlfriend are known apologists for the uber-misogynist Islamist fascists who rule over Iranians with their draconian gender apartheid laws.

Here is what Amnesty International has said about the couple:

“The Minister of Fisheries’ girlfriend Bahareh Letnes (28) paints a rosy image of the Iranian regime, says the human rights organization Amnesty International.

After a week with heavy criticism, Minister of Fisheries, Per Sandberg (Progress Party) and Letnes appeared for a joint interview in the actuality program “Dagsnytt 18” on Friday. Letnes claimed, among other things, that flogging is not particularly widespread as a form of punishment in Iran.

She also said that the application of sharia law is “only” applicable to 20-30 per cent of all punishment in Iran. Letnes further claimed that if she were to be addressed by the police for not covering her hair using a hijab, she could avoid punishment by apologizing and wearing it.

That is a reality that Amnesty International‘s press contact, Sindre Stranden Tollefsen, does not recognize.

– Amnesty International is absolutely clear on the fact that there is regular use of flogging in Iran, including in our annual report. We totally disagree with the rendering she makes of the situation in the totalitarian state. In the larger picture, we must only repeat that any attempt to paint a rosy image of the regime in Iran is serious and something we strongly disagree with, Tollefsen tells NRK.

Asking about Sandberg’s assessment of sharia in Iran, he told the National Broadcaster (NRK) on Friday that he has very little knowledge about it.

But both when I was in Iran in 2016 and now I notice that there are nuances. We bathed together, although Bahareh had to wear a considerable amount of clothes.  I saw young people walking hand in hand, he says.”

The amoral Western politicians, like this ex-Norwegian fisheries minister, who give legitimacy and do discount the horrible nature of Islamist fascist apartheid rule, are truly despicable.
