AlJezeerah has a story of an Iranian feminist and human rights activist, Haleh Sahabi, who was jailed after last years' protests, who was allowed out of jail to bury her father, Ezzatollah Sahabi, also a well known democracy advocate.
Then the local thugs tried to steal his body, and she died trying to defend it.
The editorial compares her to Antigone, who risk the wrath of the king to make sure her brothers bodies were buried with dignity.
