NICOSIA, Cyprus (Reuter) - Iran's parliament voted on Monday to ban the
sale of seedless watermelon deemed corrupting by Moslem clerics. Deputies
voted for the bill after a two-day debate in which a minority argued that
people should not be denied watermelon because it has no seeds.
"The government has to defend Islamic and cultural values, just as it
has to defend the borders... Spreading corruption, robbing the youths of
moral values. Seedless watermelon promotes homosexuality and asexuality."
The law will take effect after further debate on details of the bill
expected in several weeks' time.
