TAHERI. . . uncensored
September 13-2013
Ayatollah Khomeini’s granddaughter has been caught photoshopping a picture of her own daughter in Canada to make sure she complied with the dress standards of the Islamic Republic.
Naeima Taheri, the great-granddaughter of Khomeini, is an undergraduate student at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario.
Recently, she was photographed receiving an Ontario science award. Ironically, it was given by an Iranian-Canadian, Reza Moridi, who was handing out a series of science awards in his role as science minister of the province of Ontario.
Taheri was wearing a headscarf, in compliance with the Islamic Republic’s dress standards. But she also had high fashion platform heels and was wearing very tight-fitting trousers.
Her mother, Nayimeh Eshraqi, was clearly proud of the award and touted it on her Facebook page. But the proud mom cropped the photo to remove the platform heels and then added a demure jacket or manteau that covered the daughter’s legs to below the knees.
Some readers of Eshraqi’s Facebook page had seen the original picture and commented on mom’s photoshopping. Some of the more diplomatic remarks praised her for her skill using Photoshop to alter the picture. Others ignored the photo alteration but criticized Eshraqi for sending her daughter to Canada—which the regime now hates even more than the United States—for her education.
Like many members of the Khomeini family, Eshraqi is far more liberal than the regime. She has, for example, used her Facebook page to criticize the regime for mandating the wearing of the headscarf.
Her daughter won the award with four others for a three-minute video describing Playdeal, a business model, the student group developed to “allow merchants to create brand discovery and loyalty while also generating revenue, making both user and merchant happy.”
She shared the first-place award from the Ontario Centers of Excellence with Ali Sedighian, Masud Shednam, Mohammad Faraji and Funso Jayesimi.
