A lawyer living in Iran sent in a message to Maryam Namazie when he found out about the seminar on Sharia and the Childrens Act. Namazie writes:

Whilst the seminar addresses Sharia courts here in Britain, it is astounding how similar Sharia rulings are no matter where you live.

The letter reads:

 In summary I am a lawyer under the Sharia legal system under which a child could be beaten and raped legally or be accused and charged for any crime like an adult or be used for military activities in Basij force.
