I think we have to admit this. We shouldn't try to gloss it over or it would go away. – Hillary Clinton	Found on CNN 8 years ago

The number of Christians in Iran is estimated at between 200,000 and 500,000, out of an overall population of nearly 78 million. Although the Islamic Republic’s constitution guarantees on paper that Christianity, Judaism, and Zoroastrianism are protected religions, the application of Sharia Law — or Islamic Law — relegates the members of the minority religions to second class citizens. The historical term for a subjugated non-Muslim religious minority member living in an Islamic society is dhimmi. In response to multiple FoxNews.com media queries about the convicted Iranian Christians, Hamid Babaei, head of the press office in the Mission of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the United Nations in New York, declined to comment.

So I think there's no issues regarding the fact that he committed the crime. – Foreign Minister Dunya Maumoon	Found on Reuters 9 years ago
Ray Hinton was convicted because Ray Hinton was poor. – Bryan Stevenson	Found on FOX News 9 years ago
He was a poor person who was convicted because he didn't have the money to prove his innocence at trial. He was unable to get the legal help he needed for years. He was convicted based on bad science. – Bryan Stevenson	Found on FOX News 9 years ago
