Dont think that

The Iranian Government should not think. That our eyes can be covered by a golden veil

THE LEGACY OF 2009 AND “FOUR WASTED YEARS”

THE LEGACY OF 2009 AND “FOUR WASTED YEARS”

Let it be said that this election was pay-back by many Iranians — pay-back to officials all the way to the Supreme Leader — for the manipulation of the 2009 vote and the subsequent crackdown to e...nforce Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as President.

Of course, the word “sedition” was not uttered. However, the chants in Rouhani’s crowds of “Ya Hossein! Mir Hossein!” were a powerful reminder: two of the candidates in 2009, Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi, are still considered such a threat by the regime that they have been under strict house arrest for 28 months. It is not just Mousavi and Karroubi who are detained. Hundreds of activists, journalists, students, lawyers, Baha’is, and people simply caught up in the repression are also imprisoned.

Had the regime used the last four years to bring the “political and teconomic epic” that the Supreme Leader promised when he anointed Ahmadinejad in 2009, then it might have eased the pain and trauma of that collective memory. But it did not do so: Iran is in a far worse economic position since 2009, and its international standing — despite Orwellian proclamations from its supporters — has eroded, and any hope of progress had faded into resignation.

Against this background, the Rouhani campaign reignited the possibility of striking a meaningful blow against the status quo — not with violent protests this time, but with a vote that meant something.See More

Release of political prisoners

President mr. Rouhani plans to issue a “civil rights charter” which calls for equality for all citizens without discrimination based on race, religion or sex. It also calls for greater freedom for political parties and minorities, as well as ensuring the right to fair trial, freedom of assembly and legal protection for all. "However, people don’t want empty promises and rhetoric but rather expect concrete measures. It starts with the release of political prisoners."

A good friend of mine

A good friend. I met in June 2009. Still on the run after four years. From shelter to shelter. Last conversation I had with him. He told me. It is so hard to come by. To escape from Iran costs so much money. And I have not. My family members who are not able to finish their University No job can be found. To be monitored constantly. Just because I participated in the 2009 demonstrations. Dressed in green. 'm So tired.

I can not understand

 

I can not understand. That there are many people partied in the streets of the big cities. A so-called reformer who won the elections.
While there are so many political prisoners behind bars.

Khamanei. The standard comedian

Mother.................................

نظر مادر مصطفی کریم بیگی جوان معترضی که در عاشورا کشته شد را با شما همخوان می کنم این همان آگاهی و احترام به عقیده مخالف است که آدم لذت می برد وقتی می بیند ایران چنین مادرانی دارد:‌
خانم کریم بیگی نوشته: توی ِ هر محفلی که وارد میشی همه جا بحث سر شرکت یا عدم ِ شرکت در انتخاباته ، چهار سال از انتخاباتِ قبلی گذشته و ما توی ِ خیابونها و زندانها کشته های زیادی رو دادیم . عده ای دیگه از دوستامون رو هم اسیر کردن ، اما وقعا ما نمیدونیم که اگه مصطفی یا بقیه ی شهیدامون الان زنده بودن توی ِ این انتخابات شرکت میکردن یا نه ، اون روزا همه ی ما توی ِ خیابونا بودیم و هر کدوم از این بچه هایی که دارن حرف از شرکت یا تحریم میزنن ممکن بود کشته بشن همه ی این جوونا الان شهیدای زنده ی ما هستن، اینا حق دارن که با دلایلی که دارن توی انتخابات شرکت کنن یا تحریم کنن چیزی که نباید فراموش بشه اتحاد ماست ، همان اتحاد سبزی که با هم در قلب هایمان بستیم و برایش هزینه ها دادیم ، نگذاریم اتحادمان از بین برود که بسیار سخت به دست امده است...

Did you know freedom does not exists

w/in a white free Isalmic

We're perched headlong
on the edge of boredom

We're reaching for death
on the end of a candle

We're trying for something
that not already found us.

Freedom.

TALES OF HEROISM

TALES OF HEROISM AND SIMPLE HUMAN DECENCY FROM THE STREETS OF TEHRAN FEBRUARY 14 (25 BAHMAN) 2011--
Talk to anyone who experienced the summer of 2009 in Tehran, they will tell you tales of simple human kindness and decency.... people who hi...d demonstraters etc...... the same stories happened EXACTLY TWO YEARS AGO....HERE ARE TWO OF THEM....
**********************************************

1. THE STORY OF ONE YOUNG WOMAN: I went out on the street to join the crowd...suddendly people were running the opposite direction...and then I saw the bassij (riot police)...and heard at least one gunshot.

My breath stopped.....I remember panicking and starting to cry...then suddenly I felt someone take my arm, her arm in the crook of mine...and I turned around to see this little old chadori woman (WOMAN DRESSED IN THE ULTRA TRADITIONAL ISLAMIC ATTIRE) holding fast to my arm....

As I sobbed, she patted my arm and whispered into my ear: "There, there, my dear. Calm down please. You are not part of this....you are a dutiful niece taking your poor old Auntie shopping...".....
(AND THE RANDOM (CHADORI) STRANGER SAW THIS YOUNG WOMAN OFF TO SAFETY)
********************************************

2. There was one woman, not young but not old, who incurred the wrath of the bassiji....apparently she "mouthed off" too much and they came at her with their electric clubs....a cordon of men held the regime thugs off, just barely....UNTIL....

(GUESS WHAT???) A "JUST MARRIED" car drove by, with a newlywed couple, the handsome young groom and the "blushing" bride...and guess what she did? Without missing a beat, the bride leaned out the window and in an exaggeratedly annoyed toned yelled: "MOM...For GOODNESS SAKE, we are HERE!!!!"

And the Basijii beinging bone-heads, paused long enough for the men to catch on to the rouse and start shouting "OH YES, THERE IS YOUR DAUGHTER!!!" And start passing the middle-aged woman along the line until she reached the BRIDAL car...until she was driven away to safety......
ONE DAY, THERE IS ONE IRANIAN COUPLE WHO WILL TELL THEIR CHILDREN, AND THEN THEIR GRANDCHILDREN, A WONDERFUL "WEDDING STORY".....AND WE CHALLENGE THOSE YOUNG'UNS TO BEAT THAT STORY!!!!!!!! :-DSee Mo

Hanged in Tehran.
