An Iranian beauty queen has requested asylum in the Philippines after an Interpol alert about her filed by Tehran got her detained at the Manila airport.

Bahareh Zare Bahari has been held at Ninoy Aquino International Airport’s Terminal 3 since October 17, as authorities examine Iran’s allegation that she assaulted a fellow Iranian in the Philippines and Bahari’s counter-claim that the Islamic Republic is targeting her for her political activism and that the charges against her are fake.

This twitter picture seems to show her too and that does look like the Shah OR the son of the Shah, Pahlavi in a picture as well on the flag. I can't be sure though.

This international news is pretty exciting, perhaps, I can stop here.
