URGENT

Amir farshad Ebrahimi has been arrested and beaten up by Turkish authorities in the Ataturk international airport.
The Turkish authorities are planning to deport him tomorrow (29 March 2008) morning. This is EXTREMELY DISTURBING. Amir is a human rights activist, not a terrorist.

Reza Zarei, Ahmadinejads ally, the very guy who is in charge of enforing Hejab in Tehran, was caught literally wih his trousers down with 6 naked prostitutes. It's not a surprise .... the Islamic Republic pf Iran is being run by a mafia and it is the most corrupt regime in the world ...

In Iran we have the so called "moral police" who are imposing their self-styled Hejab on Iranian women. They allow themselves to verbally and physically abuse innocent Iranian women, but more people are starting to fight back.
Hejab was imposed on Iranian women shortly after the Islamic revolution in 1979, despite Ayatollah Khomeini's pledges before the Islamic revolution who always claimed that in a future Islamic Republic, women will be free to dress as they wished. Shortly after the revolution he allowed organised thugs to attack women with knives, blades and acid in the streets in order to enforce the Hejab.
Iranian women have never accepted the Hejab and the way they push the boundaries by pushing their scarves back and wear make up shows that they never will.

Parlimentary elections in Iran is becoming a real joke.
The Iranian government will be losing all its legitamcy with this circus.
This is not an election its a selection by the conservative camp.

Daheye Fajr is the title of the final 10 days of street battles leading to the victory of the Islamic revolution. It is so very depressing to be reminded of it!
My family and I were sitting around the TV watching scenes of angry crowds shouting "marg bar Shah" meaning "Death to Shah" during the 1979 revolution.
You see most of my immediate family supported and took part in the 1979 revolution, yet here they were sat around the TV with tears in their eyes regretting what they had done. "We should have never trusted the Mullahs" said my dad with a shaky voice. "Please change the channel .... put some music channel". I turned the channel over to PMC (Persian Music Channel).
A smile of relief appeared on my Dads face and he said again "we should have never trusted them".......

The Zanan magazine has been shut down by Ahmadinejad. Widespread exclusion of non-conservative (They are not really reformists!) and an increasing atmosphere of intimidation throught the country.
Is there going to be a showdown between the people and the government? if the Iranian economy continues to decline and sanctions bite harder then a showdown is likely.

I hope your people succeed in the struggle against Ahmadinejad and the Islamic dictatorship. Your regime is a disgrace and an insult to your ancient culture. I am German student and every time I hear your president I feel sick of his ignorance!!
good luck

Ossanlu has been returned to prison after an eye operation despite the fact that doctors have recommended 6 weeks of rest.
Dr Alavi a political prisoner is in poor health after 24 days of hunger strike.
More students arrested in Tehran university.

I think Ahmadinejad is trying to steer Iran into conflict with the west and possibly into civil war.
He's a leader standing for a tired system with old, self-appointed, tired leaders who have nothing in common with the young vibrant population of Iran.

In his Friday 1 Feb 08 speech, Ahmadinejad again threatened Israel, calling for western governments to stop supporting the "Filthy Zionists". I don't know what he's trying to achieve, but if he's looking for trouble he's going the right way about it!

Third sanctions are on their way.
The government of Iran is angry but still defiant.
The economy is already suffering from 2 rounds of sanctions.
It will be interesting to see how the third round of sanctions would affect Iran's already fragile economy.

I was arrested in a shopping center for wearing boots. I had my full hejab but they arrested me because I was wearing boots. They treated me very badly and call me different names. It is very hard to live in Iran. There is nothing for young people like us.

13 people were executed and a wave of amputaions in the Sistan & Baluchestan provinces were carried out.

There are more executions than ever before but protests by students and factory workers are on the increase.
