Headlines:  MOUSAVI'S NEPHEW SHOT IN HEART AND OTHER DEVELOPMENTS

--Oppressive regime is making new martyrs on a symbolic day for martyrs fighting an oppressor

1420 GMT: Parleman News is reporting that Mir Hossein Mousavi’s nephew was shot and killed in today’s demonstrations.  (BBC confirms Sayyed Mousavi was shot in the heart in Enghelab Square.  His uncle is currently at the hospital).

1350 GMT: Rouydad News is reporting clashes in Tabriz, with “probably at least four” killed.  (Would that be in addition to the 5 killed in Tehran and who knows how many others?  Meanwhile according the BBC the regime claims its forces shot no one in which case we'll see these victims come back to life).

Rah-e-Sabz, still under cyber-attack, has reported, “Police forces are refusing their commanders’ orders to shoot at demonstrators in central Tehran….Some of them try to shoot into the air when pressured by their commanders.”

1135 GMT: Reports now of protests in Babol.

1130 GMT: Still a fluid situation with reports of gatherings and clashes throughout Tehran and in other cities. We have posted the first set of videos from today, including dramatic footage of protesters fighting back against security forces, especially at College Bridge (Pole Kalej). One report claims the forces relinquished Val-e Asr Square to demonstrators.

JARAS EXCLUSIVE: Special Guard Forces Refuse to Shoot People

Green Way Movement network (Jaras): Special Guard forces are disregarding the orders of their commanders and refusing to shoot people.

Military commanders have asked their forces in central Tehran to use direct shooting to disperse demonstrators. But forces are refusing the command, causing disputes between forces and commanders.

A Jaras correspondent present around Enqelab Square clashes says: “After this dispute, one of the guards said: “I will never kill the people of my own country”, he was then slapped by his commander who threatened him with martial court.

According to Jaras correspondent, more forces are joining the demonstrators.

IRAN NEWS CORRESPONDENT: People Disarm Regime Forces in Vilna Streetr

Protesters attack a truck load of regime mercenaries, which was brought to Vila Street to suppress demonstrators. The mercenaries consequently ran away from the people, and their truck was set on fire.

Brave and freedom-loving people of Tehran set the truck on fire under the Hafez Bridge. They disarmed the mercenaries and confiscated their batons, tear gas and hats.

AN AMAZING VIDEO SHOWS MAN WHO APPEARS TO BE SHOT IN THE NECK

VIDEO: Street Barricade in Iran

//www.youtube.com/watch?v=iI9dmwRNOGw

(Like the other video you can see how radicalized and broadened the opposition has become since June.  Khamenei's brutal tactics have not only failed. They've backfired and enraged people.  As others say, the stolen election is no longer relevant or the issue.  An obvious criminal regime led by a Supreme Criminal & Thugs is the issue)

Ordinary Americans

by Charles on

Hello.  I am just an ordinary American of nonIranian descent on an ordinary street in a small town in the USA.

This is just a note to tell you that many ordinary Americans like me are praying and hoping for the many ordinary people of Iran during this time of turmoil.  We pray for your vision and your safety.  We do not want a return of the Shah or any of his descendants to power in Iran.  We do not wish to take away or destroy your Islamic faith.  We do not want our country to meddle in Iran's affairs as it once did.  I think most people here in the United States probably feel about the same way.  We want only what the Iranian people want for themselves and support only what the Iranian people want for themselves.  Many blessings to you all.  It looks as if the Iranian people have chosen a new revolution.

You are not hearing similar statements of support from the U.S. government  and will not hear them because President Barack Obama does not want the Khameini regime to have any evidence claiming that the "American Satan" is the cause of the current unrest.  We do not wish to be involved in such unrest.  He feels that the best way to support the Iranian people is to simply reassure them that the destiny of Iran is solely in the hands of the Iranian people with no interference from outside.  Because it is this way, you can be reassured that there will be no American treachery against you or the Iranian people, and the Khameini regime will know that it has irretrievably lost its own people.

Hot stuff from NY Times: Video of 3 Basilj surrendering, etcv.

by FG on

1) A VIDEO showing 3 Basilj surrendering to demonstrators. It deserves wide circulation, especially since it looks like we'll have 7 more days of mourninh coming up for Martyr's Day martyrs.   You can BET that it willl encourage others to surrender or not turn up at all. 7 more days!  Khamenei are you ready? 2) A PHOTO OF MOUSAVI'S DEAD NEPHEW (shot through the heart) 3) AN ACCOUNT OF BASILJ THUGGERY (50 motorcyclists) at the hospital where the body was taken.   Despite the above photo, despite numerous eyewitnesses including the former presidential candidate and his aides and despite an inability to produce a living nephew, the regime continues to deny killing him and claims he is still alive. 4) VIDEO: Protestors trample a street sign with Khamenei's name on it. 5) A graphic link to a protestor dying in the street. Like Neda's photo and that of the dead Mousavi, it deseves and will get wide circulation among the people.  6) A Twitter feed apparently run by supporters of opposition leader Mir Hussein Moussavi posted a message asking people to gather in front of a hospital in Tehran “where Mousavi’s martyred nephew is resting in peace.” ANOTHER NOTABLE MURDER Twitter is now saying there are unconfirmed reports brother of Dr Noorizadeh (I am assuming exiled scholar and historian) beaten to death by security forces in Isfahan What a moral regime!  What a moral Supreme Leader!  No wonder he is so loved! (just joking)

 Thank you for your blog and videos. I am glad to hear that guards refuse to shoot people. Thank God that guards have started to be disillusioned and come to people's side.

A sure thing prediction

by FG on

The regime will claim it was framed and blame and say a "foreign spy" or "opposition protestors" killed Mousavi's nephews.  All it will do is enrage even more people and add to the opposition's numbers.

BBC link on Mousavi death & my comment

by FG on

//news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/8431523.stm

First Khamenei stole his election victory, then he kills his nephew, will be "do" Mousavi next.  This death will win hundreds of thousands more over to the opposition and radicalize people further.

I suspect that after this even Mousavi may give up on the idea of the regime's "reformability."
