Iranian Couple Arrested And Fined For Having Sex On Jomtien Beach

next thing you know they'll outlaw gambling

[ScubaBuddha]

I hope their names and this obsurd act will follow them back to Iran where they will be stoned in the public square for their actions. I myself am not afraid to have sex on jomtien beach at 0430 in the morning and have a 500 baht each fine. Now let me go to Iran and have public sex and lets see what happens. Both these people need to be reprimanded the same as anyone else would in their own country.

I don't get it, so your in support of religiously oppressive totalitarian regimes?

My 2-satang:

I think some here are being a bit harsh.

In the couple's defense, they did choose 4:30am.

Seems they were at least trying to take advantage of the off hours.

Of course, I might have suggested a town and beach more off the beaten path.

Also, they are young and Iranian, and if anyone understands Iranian youth somewhat, they are most likely not strict in their religious interpretation. So, I would not jump to any conclusion about hypocrisy.

And hey, can you really blame them so much... how many Hollywood movies do you think they have seen with beach-sex scenes ... something that may look very appealing to a young couple, perhaps, and yet may be impossible, or at least highly risky, in their own country. They saw their chance, tried to be discrete by choosing 4:30am... but a less ideal choice of beach... and had a bit of bad luck and got caught. Tsk-tsk.

I applaud the MIB (men in brown) for being fairly lenient.

After all, it was 4:30am.

please tell me the girl doesn't look like Ahmadinejad

Yeah right, like he'd be boning his girl in front of a bunch of ayatollahs in a public square in Iran??? He would be beheaded (small one).

[Splatter]

crackdown on sex on the beach...

...sex on the beach hub

[Brewsta]

I wonder how many of us would have walked by with a smile (discrete or encouraging or got a 'naughty' photo....etc) and how many would have called 911 ??

Hmmmm..... survey?

I wonder if they will now qualify for political asylum somewhere. The mullahs won't take kindly to this which no doubt made the front pages back home. They are probably waiting at the airport with their rocks - not too small so as to do not enough damage and not too big so as to cause death too swiftly.

I have followed the numerous replies to this post. One missing link is the couple comes from a religious and utterly supreme group of this planet (this is their opinion of themselves compared to the rest of us infidels) - thus - they stray from home turf and act this way defying their own rigid religious laws - however - that area of the world will not allow religious freedom nor will they allow for open travel for all countries such as they have been given to travel here to Thailand.

I hope their names and this obsurd act will follow them back to Iran where they will be stoned in the public square for their actions.

You clearly has fallen for the propaganda (and I can guess what country you come from) and fail to realize that a nation is built upon the shoulders of many people and no-one is exactly like the other.

I have friends that live in Iran whose parents and friends was amongst those who was rounded up and killed after the revolution of 1979, as they where part of the educated and intellectuals grouping that didn't support the coup. Your views are a huge spit in their and people like them alike in the face and you should be ashamed of yourself.

[rueben]

Lucky it was Jomtien and not Tehran. I'm sort of worried about what will happen to Margam when they go home.

That just what I was thinking!!! WAIT TIL' THEY GET HOME! And if it hits utube!!! I would not want to be in their shoes!!

[holidaze]

Amazing Thailand: by that I mean its amazing how tourists come to Thailand and behave outrageously which for the same offence back in their home countries might involve punishment having theirs limbs(or more intimate) parts of their bodies chopped off.

Lucky to get away with just a small fine.

Chopped Off?? Which perverse country takes pleasure in cutting off limbs as a punishment? I think you'll probably find that wherever these places are, the inhabitants are more likely than not, unable to afford a holiday anyway.

Do we have a re enactment for the news cameras?

[darkstar1943]

Why not apply Shiria law and submit them to same punishment they would be given in Iran: Probably death for unmarried couples!

Why not look it up? You're on the internet.

There's enough stuff about Iran that is bizarre and silly without people making stuff up and posting it here.

[personchester]

I can understand him not being aware that it is illegal, I've never seen any signs saying no sex in public places. How would you know?

Listen ... this is a matter of basic decency, nobody has to be specially informed of this, those that do not know those basics are fools and horses, they are rather lucky that it happened in Thailand, of course they would not dream of doing it in their own country, since it would most probably result into flogging or some amputation.

[stevehaigh]

He he...wonder what happens to this couple when back home and the families discover their holiday photos and videos at YouTube???

stoning for her, worse for him

[stevehaigh]

Anyway, the world would be a much better place if we could all just drop and have sex anywhere in public, IMHO!!

that's right, why should dogs have all the fun.

Wrong.

[bkkjames]

for their sake, hopefully (and most probably) such a vile evil thing as Youtube would be banned in Iran?

[cdnvic]

Stoning officially remains on the books in Iran but except for alleged unofficial punishments that supposedly have been handed out by local mobs, the sentence is not carried out. In some cases adultery results in lashings.

[plaaduk]

This couple will be punished severely once they get back home socially and perhaps legally. The best thing they can do is get married quickly down in Malaysia before returning to Iran. Muslims do not allow sex before marriage at all and is some regions can result in the death of the woman. Iranians usually come here as single men to experience sex with ladies for the first time and they go wild with Thai ladies (and men sometimes). Like most of us of course.

They may be Iranians, but they could be Iranians who have migrated to America or Europe! The article does not mention they are Iranians from Iran!They look like Iranians,

walk like Iranians,<deleted> like Iranians, but they may Iranians from space!LoL

Iranian couple arrested and fined for having sex on Jomtien beach

PATTAYA: -- Police arrested and fined an Iranian couple for having sex on the Jomtien beach early Friday.

Hashom Abdli, 28, and his girlfriend, Margam Ziyace, 25, were charged with indecency and were fined Bt500 each and were released.

Police Captain Chamrasthong Jinda, deputy inspector of the Pattaya police station, was riding his motorcycle to perform routine checking on the beach at 4:30 am when he spotted a crowd watching something on the beach and some of the tourists were shooting video clips with their mobile phones.

Chamrasthong found the couple in the act and stopped them and took them to the police station.

The Iranian man told police that he did not know that it was illegal to have sex in public place.

If the Iranian authorites get wind of this, they'll REALLY be in trouble when they get home.....

[nurgut73]

did we have our daily crackdown already? why not have a crackdown on people having sex in public? there must be millions and millions of them, can't see any sand on the beach anymore...

Why Malaysia? Because it is a Muslim country?

Malaysian Muslims are Sunnis and not Shia! There are Shia Muslims in SouthThailand!

They could get married in Thailand if they wish to.

Muslims in Iran are not allowed to date a member of the opposite sex! But that does not mean they do not have sex. They would just take a trip across the border to Turkey and have all the fun they want.You could watch porno movies in cinemas as though you are in New York in Kizilay, Ankara.The Madame of a sex extablishment pays taxes!Of course officially such activities are banned.In some conservative

towns, even school girls are examined whther they are virgins!

[belidofan]

the iranian dr. goebbels of the local embassy who has to send those moronic excuse letters to the local english language press on a regular basis will, no doubt, make sure that they get an "appropriate" punichment when to get back in their holy state. The best of luck to them.

Th Mullahs do not act on rumours! They may think that this article was an act of creative writing by apparachicks of the great SATAN!

For a person to be condemned you should have the required number of witnesses

who are Shia Muslims and can be believed.Stories that come out from newspapers that are printed by kafirs cannot be trusted as they have an intention to run down

the Islamic Republic.Do you seriously believe that stories from Western media are believed by the Mullahs? They are viewed as Western propaganda!

.....an honor killing for the girl (by a brother or uncle or her own father) and some happy slaps on the back for the young stud, by his fellow shi'ites.

I don't get it, so your in support of religiously oppressive totalitarian regimes?

You are judging Islamic Iran from your christian values! To you, it is an oppressive

totalitarian regime! To a majority of their people, they are happy with their government and their Islamic way of life.Of course, those who disagree live outside the country and those who are in the country reside in the affluent area of Northern Tehran. Those who disagree are in the minority!

At one time, the world also looked at Communism in the same way. Today,you have

America and China working towards a better world.They do not talk about how bad communism is any more, just trade and economy! One world, many systems!Why can't they accept one world, many religions and not try to dominate each other!
