Mideast Revolution Sparks Pro-Democracy Protest in Iran

1 hour ago

Iranian journalists are barred from reporting on anti-government demonstrations, and most foreign reporters are kept out of the country altogether. .

CAN YOU SAY PFUI?

Trouble in the Persian paradise.

The problem for the protesters in Iran is quasi-military Revolutionary Guard which, unlike the Egyptian Army so far, is perfectly willing to use force against the pro-reform faction to try and preserve the power of the corrupt mullah oligarchy.

and savak's successor secuity agency rules the streets and the people.

you/ve become a lot less cocky sir since your own people are openly protesting their lack of liberty.

even wikipedia sees through the pious veil of theocratic tyranny.... and I quote:

"Under the administration of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Iran’s human rights record "has deteriorated markedly" according to the group Human Rights Watch,[3] and following the 2009 election protests there were reports of killing of demonstrators, the torture, rape and killing of detained protesters,[4][5] and the arrest and publicized mass trials of dozens of prominent opposition figures in which defendants "read confessions that bore every sign of being coerced." [6][7][8]

Officials of the Islamic Republic have responded to criticism by stating the IRI is not obliged to follow "the West's interpretation" of human rights,"[9] and that the Islamic Republic is a victim of "biased propaganda of enemies" which is "part of a greater plan against the world of Islam."[10] According to Iranian officials, those who human rights activists say are peaceful political activists being denied due process rights are actually guilty of offenses against the national security of the country....

The Islamic revolution is thought by at least one scholar to have a significantly worse human rights record than the Pahlavi Dynasty it overthrew. According to political historian Ervand Abrahamian, "whereas less than 100 political prisoners had been executed between 1971 and 1979, more than 7900 were executed between 1981 and 1985. ... the prison system was centralized and drastically expanded ... Prison life was drastically worse under the Islamic Republic than under the Pahlavis. One who survived both writes that four months under [warden] Ladjevardi took the toll of four years under SAVAK.[13] In the prison literature of the Pahlavi era, the recurring words had been `boredom` and `monotony.` In that of the Islamic Republic, they were `fear`, `death`, `terror`, `horror,` and most frequent of all `nightmare` (kabos)." [14]

INTERESTING HOW MEN OF THE CLOTH DEVELOPE GOVERMENT SPEAK NOTIONS LIKE NATIONAL SECURITY TO IMPRISON THEIR PEOPLE...

HAVE THEY STARTED KILLING THEM YET?

If the regime in Tehran falls as well then this month could prove to be one of the most significant in recent history. Egypt is a major regional player, and without the crippling theocratic regime holding them back so is Iran. Of the most powerful states in the region (Turkey, Israel, Egypt, Iran, and Saudi Arabia) all except one may be democracies by year's end.

Obviously there is much that could still go wrong, but I can't side with the people who have to be toughguys and assume the worst before the week is out.



Azari's defense of the current regime and its powerless spokes-puppet Ahmadinejad is puzzling. As I have elsewhere, I recommend the HBO doc "For Neda."
