We Killed Your Son - Now You Owe Us $3,000

It's not a joke.

Iranian security forces killed a 19 year old boy. When his father went to the morgue to collect his body, he was ordered to pay $3,000 as a bullet fee, yes, a bullet fee, which is exactly what it sounds like. He couldn't pay, of course, because he lives in Iran, so they made an exception, but wouldn't let him bury his son in Tehran.

Read the story here, from the Wall Street Journal.
