Chaharshanbeh Souri: developing news
14-Mar-2010
Another occasion for protests is upon Iran. In keeping with the by now standard procedure of defining the next occasion for protests, Charshanbeh Souri, the night before the last Wednesday of the Year, is the next date on which Iranians will come to streets to protest. Since its inception, Islamic Republic of Iran has never recognized Charshanbeh Souri as a national day of celebration for Iranians. Conversely, it has banned lighting fires and observation of standard rituals and ceremonies associated with the occasion. During the past 30 years, Iranians all over Iran have held on to the thousands-year-old tradition, less lighting fires and jumping over them, and more and more using firecrackers and explosives which are easier to manage than fires on the streets. The traditional celebration, therefore, has already turned into a night of danger and unexpected injuries and explosions.
Now as the next "meeting point" for the protesters who have faced threats of arrests, imprisonment and death sentences, Charshanbeh Souri is here. Almost on the eve of the event, in response to a question about the legitimacy of Charshanbeh Souri, Iran's Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei has shunned the Persian fire festival as an un-Islamic event which
causes "a lot of harm."
Judging from reactions to Khamenei's statement, Iranian protesters have found new resolve in showing up to streets and celebrating the occasion to confront what has become an increasingly personal matter between Ali Khamenei and Iranians. This blog will be an effort to bring information about events in Iran to the community. As I have mentioned in previous developing news blogs, please bring any articles or news items you would like to share with others and post it here. You can also stop by just to read or to discuss the news. These are rapidly changing times in Iran and in the absence of official and accurate news reporting out of the country, Iranians inside have turned to citizen journalism in order to capture contemporary Iranian history in their tweets, blogs, and clips. On the receiving end, we have a job to do, too. We need to read and understand what they are trying to convey. We need to get their voices out to each other and to the world. We are the media. Please do your share to
help.

This way, we can have an actual information and thought exchange. What's so nobel about putting down the efforts of so many who are trying to report/find out what is really happening in Iran?
May I suggest that you "man" Twitter for us? Here, start by checking this link and if you see anything useful, post it here. Thanks so much in advance for your active and productive participation.

Now, you're the focus of this thread's commentary because we find that the color of your uniform suites very well with your rich-vo-mich. It's a question of harmony.

Lack of reliable news
by Fair on Tue Mar 16, 2010 09:35 AM PDTis due to fascists like your bosses being in power, and not allowing a free press. What are you so afraid of that you close down so many newspapers and reporters, and allow no reporting of Charshambeh Soori, one of the most ancient Iranian traditions?
By mainstream, you clearly mean "mainstream anti Iranian", like Baathists and Khameneists.
Many foreigners come on this website, and they are by and large welcomed by Iranians, who are a hospitable people.
But when traitors and anti Iranian fascists like you show up and put down our country, we will cream you, as Iranians have pride and will not accept being pushed around.
Indeed that makes you, along with all other sworn enemies of Iran, like Khamenei, Ahmadinejad, Saddam Hussein, the Mongols, the Arabs, and Alexander, the MAIN focus of Charshambeh Soori, and therefore this blog. So get used to it.
So to all Iranians and Iran loving foreigners on this website, happy Charshambe Souri. And to all the fascist enemies of Iran, I say may you burn in the eternal fire of Charshambeh Souri. Iran is bigger than you puny people, and will defeat you. As Iranians have been saying in the streets,
IRANI MEEMIRAD
ZELLAT NEMIPAZIRAD
and if you cannot understand it, get one of your translators to help you.

AO, please excuse waffen SS major
by Fair on Tue Mar 16, 2010 09:00 AM PDTHe is a stateless terrorist and an anti Iran pro fascist cheerleader.
Only an anti Iranian fascist like Khamenei would denounce one of the most ancient Iranian traditions (the other person who did this was Saddam Hussein).
And only his fascist traitor supporters would completely shut up about such crimes against Iranians, as the waffen SS major does. He is just a stateless parasite who makes noise on this website, and has shown his lack of allegiance to Iran many times, including this one.
The biggest threat to public safety is actually the Islamic Fuehrer inciting a riot by making such anti Iranian statements. Therefore an actual lawful police force and judiciary should go after him first. A terrorist anti popular fascist militia of course is another story.

گزارش از چهارشنبه سوري , مناطق مختلف تهران
Shifteh AnsariTue Mar 16, 2010 08:46 AM PDT
خبرنگار آژانس ايرن خبر- تهران – ساعت 17.30:
بنابه خبر دريافتي تجمع مردم در منطقه اكباتان در فاز 4 ساعت 1630 عصر شروع شده است اين محل اصلي و سنتي همه ساله تجمع جشن چهارشنبه سوري است . نيروي انتظامي در فاز 9 اكباتان مستقر هستند.
نكته قابل توجه ديگر اينكه دربرخي مدارس تهران وموسسات آموزشي درشرق تهران حكومت ضمن تعطيل كردن اين واحد ها به جاي محصلين و كاركنان نيروي سركوبگر امنيتي متمركزكرده است كه اگر اعتراضات مردم بالاگرفت آن هارا براي سركوب بفرستد .
عليرغم همه تمهيدات , در خيابان هاي مركزي تهران سروصدا ي ترقه به گوش مي رسد. بطور خاص درمنطقه سعادت آباد - پايين تر از ميدان كاج صداي ترقه ها و انفجار زياد است .
همچنين در خيابان كارون به ميزان زيادي صداي ترقه و بازي با فشفشه به چشم مي خورد جوانان به صورت دسته هاي چند نفره اقدام به درست كردن ترقه ها و نارنجك ها و انفجار آنها مي كنند .
درخيابان وليعصر - صداي ترقه ها تا چندين خيابان آنطرف تر به گوش مي رسد جمعيت مردم و بخصوص جوانان زياد است و شروع به ترقه زدن كرده اند و قطعا با تاريكي هوا بيشتر خواهد شد .

Sargord or whatever your real name is
by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on Tue Mar 16, 2010 07:57 AM PDTThe news I provided shows the level of emergency contingency planning that will go into effect; which, if you're interested in public safety, you'll be relieved to hear.
The only emergency IRR is worried about is its own survival. From now on IRR will fear every single occasion when people get out. They are scared of the people. Because they know how much people hate them. They know their days are numbered. The only thing keeping them in power is their guns. Don't you try to fool us with pretense of them being worried about Iran. The Islamists hate Iran and Iranians; we are not stupid and we see right through them and you.
Yes they are going to be prepared and looking over their shoulders. Not one night will go with Khamenei and Ahmadinejad sleeping in peace. They know if people get their way they will end up hanging off a tree.
The may extend their tyranny for a while. But sooner or later they make a mistake. Then the full force of the Iranian people will come down on them. Then they will meet the devil to whom they dedicated their lives.
Anon
by Sargord Pirouz on Tue Mar 16, 2010 07:23 AM PDTI didn't actually quote Fars News. The Fars News element was lifted from a report in Persian from Asr Iran.
By the way, Anon, don't be so disingenuous. You're not here advocating Chaharshanbeh Souri, as much as you're cheerleading rioting.
Whatever, take into account that many will be taking vacation for two weeks of Nowrooz holiday. And there will be those, like Bahman 22, that will simply stay away for fear of the rioting that marred Ashura.
The news I provided shows the level of emergency contingency planning that will go into effect; which, if you're interested in public safety, you'll be relieved to hear. But of course, if you're cheerleading riots, casualties and destruction of property, then this will represent a potential setback.
