Iran takes seat on U.N. Commission on the Status of Women

Barely hours after the news broke that Iran would be trying to gain a seat on the CSW, this press release from the United Nations was issued. Iran will take it's place on the Commission on the Status of Women at the first meeting of the 56th session in 2011.

Can't find it in that press release? It's there, but it's a long way down. Perhaps the U.N. were trying to keep it quiet, after a leading Iranian cleric declared that "immodest" women caused earthquakes.
