Iran

Obviously, it's good news when theocratic thugs are brought under the rule of law, instead of acting with impunity. Here:

TEHRAN (AP) - Iranian police arrested dozens of pro-clergy militants Saturday who smashed their way into university dormitories and beat up sleeping students in a wave of violence aimed at putting down protests against Iran's Islamic government.

The militants, who pledge allegiance to Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, usually act with impunity, breaking up demonstrations and punishing protesters.

We could use some of that good news here!
