[edit] Fair use rationale for Jahangir Razmi

1. It is believed that an article describing the image itself or its photographer on the English-language Wikipedia constitutes a non-profit educational context.
2. Image is an historic, Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph, and no freely licensed alternative that would serve to illustrate the article will become available until the expiry of copyright on this image.
3. Image is of a very low resolution, and so constitutes only a small part of the detailed original work.
4. Given the extremely small dimensions of the image used, the version here is highly unlikely to have a deleterious effect upon the value of the original image or that of its copyright.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Human rights in the Islamic Republic of Iran

1. It is believed that an article describing the human rights situation in Iran including the large numbers of execution there on the English-language Wikipedia constitutes a non-profit educational context.

The event took place at the height of tension and civil war between Kurdish parties and Islamic Republic of Iran in 1979.
2. It is believed that an article regarding Kurdish people, their relationship with the Iranian state and their struggle for human rights in Iran after the 1979 Islamic Revolution constitutes a non-profit educational context.
