22 Bahman: developing news
by Shifteh Ansari
11-Feb-2010
 

Thirty one years after the Islamic Revolution, two forces inside Iran come face to face tomorrow, February 11, 2010.  The Iranian regime, which has increasingly been the sole celebrator of 22 Bahman, is trying with all its might to show this day and its related "celebrations" as evidence of its legitimacy and Iranian people's commitment to the Islamic Republic of Iran, despite appearances.  Iranian protesters who have been denied legal permits for their gatherings to object to elections fraud and subsequent violence on protesters, are planning to take over this public gathering, much as they have every other government supported occasion since June, 2009.

By all accounts, the government has done its best to enlist and summon its supporters to its Tehran gathering, using intimidation and threats to keep the protesters at home, bringing internet services to a hault, lining main streets with loudspeakers to drone out voices of the protesters, switching plastic garbage dumpsters (flammable ones) with metal ones to keep the protesters from using them as barricades, and closing in Azadi Square for more effective crowd control, among other things.

For their part, the protesters have said in Tweets and blogs that they would not be deterred.  They are planning to show up and to be heard again.

The sad murders of Iranians on Tehran streets whenever there has been a large protest over the past seven months has been no small matter.  Nobody looks forward to more violence and it is everyone's sincere hope that no other Iranian dies during the protests or after.  We cannot stop the violence Islamic Republic of Iran is able and willing to unleash on the unarmed Iranian protesters.  All we can do is to share what information we get about the events with others.  Let us not be indifferent.  Let us make the voices of those defenseless people on Tehran streets heard by the rest of the world.

If you see Tweets, blogs, news items, video clips, or anything else which could be of interest to others in our community, please feel free to post it here over the coming hours.  I will do the same.  This blog will be a live news blog.

I wish Iranians worldwide peace and freedom.  I wish every one of those people to go back to their families safe and sound tomorrow.

i have a question for you....

 

if your dear akhoonds and bache akhoonds are so love, why the heck are they pissing their pants every time there is a plan for demonstrations????

if they number of people opposing the regime is so small, why do the akhoonds go to such great lengths to stop western media from reporting it or for people to protest???!!!

 

this goes to show you what an unpopular bunch of thieves your mullahs are......THEY KNOW IF THEY BACK UP ONE STEP, THEY WILL BE OVERRUN BY THE BRAVE PEOPLE OF IRAN.....

KHAMENEI THUGS MURDER WOMAN, 27, IN TEHRAN
CONSCRIPTS REVEAL SHOOTER'S NAME TO OPPOSITION

A 27-year old woman named Leila Zareyi was shot and murdered by goons in Tehran’s Valiasr Square. Reports indicate that the “goon’s” name is Rahim Rezaei.

(The word is that this regime enthusiast was identified by disapproving IRCG conscripts)

Security Forces Opened Fire on the Crowd /Several Injured in Aryashahr

However, the crowd has not dispersed and keeps chanting slogans. Security forces are firing directly on the masses of protesters.

KHAMENEI THUGS TBEAT UP MOUSSAVI'S WIFE TO TEACH HER AND THE PEOPLE A LESSON

The apparent lesson: No one is immune and no one will be safe so long as Khamenei and his hard-line clerics rule.

1415 GMT: Kalemeh is reporting that Zahra Rahnavard, the wife of Mir Hossein Mousavi, was beaten in Sadeghieh Square by a group of basijis. People helped her scape by making a human chain around her. (From Enduring America)

 AND HERE IS MY SPECIAL SATIRICAL TREAT FOR REGIME APOLOGISTS HERE:

Khamenei boasts of 16 crimes he personally approved:

Shifteh jan Thank you! The single Ahmadinejad speech that you provided with MILLIONS of Iranians participating is more telling than the couple of thousands propaganda posts that you have been providing in vain!

Wake me up when Bastille Day is over.

من یکی‌ که اعصابم از دست شما خورد شده.

بابا اصلا شما راست میگی‌، حق با شماست.

اینها یک عده معدودی هستند که واسه دلخوشی خودشون دارن توی این بلاگ
خبر‌های نادرست پست میکنند، میرن توی پشت حیاط خونشون فیلم میگیرند،
آدم‌ها رو میزنند، میکشند  و بعد هم میان اینجا فیلمش رو میذارن که مردم
رو گول بزنن و بگن که جمهوری اسلامی بَده.

ولی‌ شما که میدونین اینها همه دروغه، ما هم اگه نمیدونستیم دیگه حالا
با اینهمه گزارش‌های چپ و راست شما فهمیدیم که موضوع از چه قراره.......

اصلا در ایران همه راضی‌ هستند و دارند جشن میگیرن و از زندان و زندان
بان هم خبری نیست، آره ما همه اینها رو میدونیم. اینها همه بیخود میگن،
شما راست میگید.

حالا شما یک لطفی‌ کن و کوتاه بیا، بیا برو دنبال زندگیت، بذار این‌ها همین دروغ‌ها رو ببافند و اینجا پست کنند، مشکل شما چیه؟

به قول خودت که تظاهر کنننده‌ها جمعیت کمی‌ هستند، این‌ها که دیگه از تظاهر کننده‌ها هم کمتر هستند، پس دیگه از چی‌ انقدر نگرانی‌؟

بیا برو دنبال زندگیت بابا.

نمیدونم این جهانشاه کی‌ از خواب بیدار میشه، ساعت ۸ صبحه اونجا، نه؟.........

Company strength IRIPF/SF deployment

This force appears better equipped than ever. Company strength deployed on the ground (transport vehicles parked), with motorized unit passing by.

Improved equipment and better tactics this time around. (Who would want to protest in this environment?)

Speaking of IRI propagandists

this is unrelated to the protests, but yet it's an eye opening and informative piece on IRI lobbying in the U.S. and Flynt Leverett's possible role.  I also posted it in the "News" section:

just flag the fool. Or better still let Iranians see what kind of spiteful  garbage we are up against. The type of people who call us Anti-Iran - look at their behaviour. I think I know who this person is, and hope that Mr Javid deals with him accordingly.

Better equipped Security Forces

by Sargord Pirouz on

Paintball gun arrest tactics: Point, shoot and capture. Here suspect is marked, he removes his shirt to try and evade, is captured and subjected to excessive force.

IRIPF/SF appear better equipped than before, and wear a slightly different woodland camo.

by vildemose on

Full Account of What Happened to Karroubi the Lion Heart This Morning Many of Karroubi's known supporters and associates were rounded up in recent days, some were imprisoned and some were forced to make written pledges not to take part in the protests today. Karroubi himself had received such a letter. Despite all this intimidation Karroubi set out to join the protesters at Sadeghieh Sq. at 10:00 am Tehran time as he had promised. From 8:00 am this morning however there were heavy clashes between people and the repressive forces around Sadeghieh Sq. The special units kept dispersing the people but the people kept returning.

Approaching Sadeghieh Sq. Karroubi decided to get out of his car and walk the rest of the way to Sadeghieh Sq. due to heavy car traffic. Around 500 people spontaneously started walking behind Karoubi  //azarmehr.blogspot.com/2010/02/full-account-of-what-happened-to.html
