Do yourself a favor and watch this:

Women Without Men: Tehran 30 July

Indeed ... thousands ... again ... their courage humbles me!

Thousands flood Tehran's cemetery despite explicit rejection of request for peaceful assembly; and despite explicit threat by the guards that the crowds will face violence ...



Jafar Panahi is released!

The memorial day update: 40th day of Mourning, Beheshte Zahra & Mosalla

I am putting links here that give a sense of what is happening in Tehran today! The news are happening at such speed that I cannot be coherent; but I try to add little commentaries ... (interestingly, today both the cell phones and the internet are working well in Iran! Is it a trap, or has the rank within the "intelligence" authorities broken after sacking Ejeh'i??) I am sure all this is already on CNN, but I don't trust CNN!

A better video here: The camera zooms on a cluster of the policemen who are walking in the crowd. They are not violent. But in the vide I posted before, you see the "basijis" on motor bikes, holding batons.



Karoubi can be seen in the middle of the crowds at the cemetery!





The regime is preparing for assassination ... They have openly attacked Karoubi's vehicle today; and they have removed bodyguards of Abdollah Nouri, The Interior Minister of President Khatami's.

More and more "original" revolutionaries (i.e Khomeiniists) are decrying the Basij/Guard crimes!

Ebrahim Yazdi (speaking on Radio Zamaneh) emphasized today that we should not put all of the Revolutionary Guard under the same blanket! He reminded us how they defended us in the Iran-Iraq defense; and emphasized that it is a faction within the Guard seems to be responsible for this. A lot of Old guards have started speaking up, reminding every one that Mr Ahmadinejad and many of those who are now attacking the old establishment have never been in the frontlines. Remember that Moghsen Rezayee the founding father of the revolutionary guard was running against Ahmadinejad. The killing of Mohsen Rouholamini, the son of a close confidante of Mohsen Rezayee, a pharmacologist in charge of Institute Pastor (a central pathology institute in Tehran), had highlighted the divisions amongst the conservatives. Even Zarghami, the head of the loathed national broadcasting corporation (Jam e Jam) has had enough of Ahmadinejad!

(I keep wondering who are those IDIOTS who vote Ahmadinejad as a "leader" or "socialist" in my poll! ... are you blind or DUMB?!)



Jafar Panahi the director of the internationally acclaimed films The Circle, The White Balloon and Offside, to name a few, is arrested!

Crowds are trying to gather and the police is resorting to the same savagery to disperse them!

18.5 Billion dollars transfered from an unknown Iranian "businessman" to Turkey!! HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN WITHOUT THE GOVERNMENT'S KNOWLEDGE?

Video in turkish.

This news was first reported on "Tabnak": http://www.tabnak.ir/fa/pages/?cid=57439

This is what appeared on Iran's PressTV web site:

A Turkish lawyer has claimed that his Iranian client has transferred an $18.5-billion treasure from Iran to Turkey through courier services.

Senol Ozel told Turkey's independent “Kanal D” channel that his client, “Esmael Safarian-Nasab,” is a respected Iranian businessman and has transferred the money to Turkey through legal means.

The container-load of US dollars and gold bullion was delivered to Ankara Customs Office on October 7, 2008, Ozel said.

He noted that the container contained $7.5 billion and 20 metric tons of gold.

In a recent speech, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan had boasted of the huge fund transfer as an indictor of his government's success in attracting foreign investment despite the economic downturn in the world.

Erdogan had not revealed anything about the origin of the wealth.

Ozel says Turkish government's move to adopt new regulations to facilitate foreign investment in the country had encouraged his client to take his wealth to Turkey.

According to Kanal D, the Turkish government had adopted a new regulation dubbed as the “Suitcase Law” to alleviate the harsh effects of the economic crisis on the country.

The new law allowed anybody to take any amount of foreign currencies into the country from anywhere without being scrutinized.

Now the problem is that Safarian-Nasab wants his money back from Turkey, which could create a big hole in the Turkish Central Bank's balance-sheet.

Ozel said his client will arrive in Turkey in the near future to discuss the issue with the Turkish Central Bank.

There is no word yet from Iranian authorities as to the source of the funds and the circumstances surrounding their export to Turkey.

List of Prisoners

Thanks to Pedestrian:

A list of prisoners, with their professional background and political affiliations

Neda ye Sohrab

You may wonder why Neda and Sohrab are the two most talked-about victims of the recent savagery of Ahmadinejad-Thugs.

It partially has to do with the meaning and connotation of these names. Neda means "calling" or "heralding". Neda is often used in combination with words such as love "Neda-ye-Eshgh", or freedom "Neda ye Azadi".

Sohrab is the name of a character in and oedipal tale in Ferdowsi's Epic of Kings. Sohrab is the son of the unbeatable Persian Hero, Rostam. But Rostam doesn't know of his existence. Sohrab seeks Rostam, but Rostam is in disguise and unaware of his son's searching. In a battle, Rostam delivers a fatal wound to Sohrab. Before he dies, Sohrab tells him that his Father Rostam will avenge him. Only then Rostam recognizes that he has killed his own son. And it is too late.

With that introduction: Here's a song called Neda-ye-Sohrab:

Of course it rhymes in Persian. But I thought you may want a gist of the lyrics we hear these days.

News came that the winter is drifting / Silence of the dark city is lifting /Look at the foot of the Azadi of this soil [referring to Azadi (Freedom) square] / Prettiest of flowers are dying (2)

News came that people are in streets / All lovers gathered in squares / News came that Neda has rolled in blood / To not let freedom pass away easily (2).

News came that Khordad's* chest is red/ that the city is full of fire and fury / News came that Sohrab's heart is bloodied / That Taraneh's** burned in the hand of injustice.

Sky, rain on this dark night / that they open fire on lovers / they respond to us with lead and bullets / But, the axman: The Forest doesn't die.

*Khordad is the name of the Persian month when Iran's election was held.

**Taraneh is the name of the girl in the black and white photo who was killed on the same day as Neda. In persian, Taraneh means "song".

The pictures in the video belong to those whose families have gone public. Many families of victims are coerced to keep silent. It is shocking to know that the thugs are extorting money (~4000-7000 Dollars) to return the bodies to the families. It is shocking that the police and the department of justice admit that they have no control over what is happening. It is shocking that after they evacuate the Evin from the battered prisoners, the gullible and fundamentalist members of the Iranian parliament claim that the prisoners have been "satisfied" with their conditions! Reading IRNA these days literally nauseates me.

These hideous acts are not motivated by any religious belief; these are hired gangsters who are operating above the law. Just as Ahmadinejad has been operating above the law, while crying crocodile tears of fighting corruption and lawlessness ...

Many a religious leaders has come out and decried these crimes. But many more are complicit in these acts! It is their moral, ethical and professional imperative to speak up. Some have threatened that hey will migrate to Iraq. This is a symbolic protest that the shiite leaders staged during the constitution revolution as well. But this is their last chance to show to Iranians that they are "relevant".

If they leave, we shall never take them back!

If they stand up, we might forgive them for all their betrayal of democracy and their cooperation with the American conspirators who ousted Mosaddegh in the 1953 Coup!

If they stand up, we may reconcile our Nation with the spirit of Islam, and provide an alternative to the Al-Quaeda/Neocon narrative that "Islam is the religion of violence and blood" ...

When Iranian members of parliament arrived to inspect Evin Prison, all of the high profile political prisoners had been transfered away!

Yesterday 140 of the admitted 300 detainees were released.

I cannot post blood and gore on neoresistance, but daily, I am stumbling across before/after photos of young boys who have died in these prisons. The cold blue dead bodies of tortured humans who have been lashed with wet cables, baton shots to head and eyes ... I have posted some of the before pictures though ... (The new victim in the picture is Hossein Akhtarzand)

Those who are released yesterday are afraid to show face and to say what has happened to them, but they have been indiscriminately tortured. It seems that the torturers are creatures of the same character of the soldiers who brought Abu Gharib to closure. Hired psycopaths!

More and more families are speaking up. They are very intimidating: a ugly giant who looks like a killer stares you in the eye and with a low voice and low accent tells you: "If anyone else knows of "this", we will take your other children away/take your husband away/take you away from your young children/throw your kids out of school ... "

PLEASE keep the pressure on by emailing the web page of Ayatollah Khamenei, the supreme leader; as well as Ayatollah Shahroudi, the head of the judiciary. Write respectfully please. Although at this stage, it seems that no one has any control over the thugs of Ahmadinejad; but let's do what we can.

Save Hajjarian: ACT PLEASE!

Feel free to take this picture and post anywhere you want.

Our pressures have worked. We HAVE to work, globally, for releasing all prisoners. Today, 140 are released on bail; and Iran's Guantanamo (Kahrizak) is ordered shut.

I try to prepare posters for other high profile prisoners who have been taken out of Evin (after the head of the judiciary ordered a probe) and into the detention centers of the revolutionary guards.

Torture Report: Khamenei is forced to order closure of a detention center due to maltreatment of prisoners

Finally, they can no longer deny it!

The Iranian head of the judiciary, Ayaollah Shahroudi, has ordered a task force to determine the charges or innocence of all detainees.

Khamenei has ordered one detention center (not known which, if any) closed, due to their improper treatment of prisoners.

Below, pictures of the most recent victims (see older posts for other losses of life and youth)

The following are also reported but await confirmation! I pray the news is false.

Amir Javadifar

What is disturbing is that no "official" organization is taking responsibility and it seems that the detentions and torture are done without permission from the judiciary!

Given that the Minister of Intelligence (whom we thought was behind these arrests and tortures) is now sacked, it is even more puzzling who is running the arrest and intimidation show. Allegedly, the Revolutionary Guard!

On some Iranian news channels Ahmadinejad's quick temper with people who do not satisfy his desired narratives is repeatedly discussed. The minister of Intelligence seems to have opposed the idea of broadcasting the confessions (obtained under torture!).

The Ahmadinejad Farce Continues!

First he fired Saffar-Harandi; the hardliner Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance!

Then He figured this will throw his government out of the door, and that he will need another vote of confidence to be able to do anything.

So he called Saffar Harandi back.

But Saffar Harandi refused and handed in his resignation (see the previous post)

Now, Ahmadinejad's office is saying: no way Jose: Harandi has NOT resigned and even if he has, we are not going to accept it!!

He's undeniably a psycopath!

Ahmadinnejad's Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance refuses to take back his job!

In his letter, he clearly states that Ahmadinejad is calling him back to cabinet because he has "just" realized he needs a minimum number in his cabinet to run a legitimate government, constitutionally. With firing cabinet members over the weekend, plus those who already quit after the appointment of Mashayee, Ahmadinejad has no legal right to run the country. This is communicated by the very conservative deputy speaker of the parliament: Bahonar!

Rats are beginning to jump the ship. All those crookeds who have been supportive of Khamenei have now a perfect excuse to herald not only Ahmadinejad's incompetence in running the government, but also they have the excuse of his reneging the orders of the Supreme leader.

This is again a delicate situation for the Greens. If the Supreme Leader comes out and fires a president who, according to the supreme leader, was elected by 24 million votes, then any semblance of a "republic" is officially removed from the face of the IRI. This will inevitably put the Greens in open opposition to the supreme leader; although Hashemi has reiterated that the Supreme leader is the only hope to divert disaster. At this juncture, I agree with Hashemi. To ask for removal of supreme leader, before he is dead, is to call for civil war. After he is dead, the position can be "respectfully" deleted from the constitution.

The best case scenario is if Ahmadinejad looses the confidence vote of the parliament; of the "senate" (i.e. the Assembly of Experts); or if he resigns. Then prisoners should be released, people be allowed to vent off for a while, a second election be held, and a Mousavi/Karroubi coalition win. I pray for the latter, helplessly optimistic.

Yarom Bia

This has a brilliant video on facebook but I can't find it! Enjoy the song! I love it!

Ahmadinejad has become a "Reformist"!?!

In the past few hours, he has been firing some of his most fundamentalist supportes:

Mohseni Ejehi, the Minister of Intelligence (who's been in charge of putting anyone with a brain in prison. He was nominated to serve as the minister of Justice!)

Saffar Harandi, the minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance (who has been in charge of closing down any news paper that published anything reform-related.)

Kamran Bagheri-Lankarani, the minister of health (who has been neglecting people who have been dying of infection, thanks to basiji people-batters! Not confirmed yet.)

This was reported by Tabnak (A paper connected to Mohsen Rezayee the founder of the Revolutionary Guards and a contender in the presidential race). I put a snapshot because in the past few hours, a lot of items appearing on the Tabnak web site:

A lot of these things have happened because the son of one of the IRI's regime consultants has been killed under arrest, and this has angered many a staunch supporter of Ahmadinejad.

I see all this as a prelude to sacking Ahmadinejad! We shall see!

Thanks to my friend, for this lovely poem inspired by our plight for justice

The Sword of Damocles

The demoralizing phantom holding the cudgel can strike us

Like a rapist would, or screech like an injured swine,

Or reflect our disgraced and beaten will, as the ghouls have.

The vapors cannot cleave from our hearts our children’s dawn

Or their passion tendered willingly as falling rain from heaven,

Like Gibran’s silver thread’s fetching them laughter in front of misery.

They are the heirs, the warriors to lift Damocles’ blade from the sky and

Mightily point it as proof they’ll not breathe another minute next to fear.

They will evermore admonish the failing ghosts of this day’s shadow

And fend off the hounds of cruelty with the strength they’ve resurrected.

There will be no reason to shrink from this; their destiny; they’ve seen

Her floating over their heads, grace and harmony hanging by a thread.

To the misguided leftist "elite" ... (By Muhammad Sahimi)

Heavens sent this for me! I was preparing to write something that listed some of the common misguided beliefs adopted by the so called "intellectuals" of the left. But Professor Muhammad Sahimi, A peace activist AND a supporter of Iran's nuclear program did it far better than I could:

He writes:

(I orange-coded the "lefties" arguments; and purple coded Ahmadinejad's reality!)

Let us then look at up some of the reasons invoked by some “leftist-progressives” to argue that Ahmadinejad actually won the election without any significant and game-changing fraud:

Ahmadinejad won because he represents the proud tradition of Iranians’ deeply-rooted nationalism, standing up for the country’s political independence from Western powers.

Sahimi debunks this notion by drawing attention to Ahmadinejad's Islamic fundamentalism and acting against national interest by his senseless barrage of belligerent rhetoric against Israel, and denying the Holocaust, that offered the United States and other powers the perfect excuse to convince the world of the (non-existent) dangers posed by Iran’s nuclear program, bringing Iran more hardships in terms of economic sanctions and diplomatic isolation.

Ahmadinejad exposed corruption among Iran’s elite.

Sahimi reminds us that NONE of his claims about corruption among the elite,are substantiated by concrete evidence, nor has his administration referred even a single case of corruption to the judiciary. If he was serious about stopping corruption, he should have acted on it!

Sahimi PLAUSIBLY notes that Ahmadinejad’s agenda is to replace one group of the elite with another, namely the commanders of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) and their allies whose companies (owned by IRGC) have won billions of dollars in contracts, in most cases without any bidding process whatsoever plus at least 63 seaports and airports that are not controlled by the government, and are used to import cheap products from China and other Asian countries, nearly bankrupting the domestic industries that produce the same products. (read the article for explicit details of Ahmadinjad's OWN corruption!)

Ahmadinejad has used Iran’s oil wealth to boost the income of the poor majority, and improve their quality of life.

Anyone believing this myth must be foolish [my words] because Ahmadinejad has had a haphazardous economic policy that has dramatically increased inflation, unemployment, the cost of food, housing and fuel. (Read the article to see how he has also veiled the economy from the scrutiny of experts!)

Mousavi’s support is mostly from the middle class.

Despite having a strong base in large urban areas, the Green Movement is not about Mousavi. It has deep roots in all sectors of the population: poor and rich, young and old, men and women, urban and rural. The vast basis of the Green movement became clear in the spontaneous massive demonstrations that hundreds of thousands of people protested in complete silence in Tehran and other cities.

Sahimi then takes a look at the sheer absurdity of the arguments of the conspiracy theory fanatics who see the hands of the CIA and other Western intelligence agencies, and Israel’s Mossad in the election and its aftermath:

The demonstrations in Iran are a repetition of the 1953 coup that overthrew Dr. Mohammad Mosaddegh, a coup that was financed and carried out by the West.

I summarize his points:

1. This is a popular movement BECAUSE unlike an average of 60% election turnout, 85% woted this time, the extra voters being the protest voters who had so far boycotted and stayed out of IRI's ceremonial elections.
2. The Iran of 2009 is vastly different from the Iran of 1953: The rate of literacy in Iran is close to 90%. Iran has 100,000 bloggers and 23 million internet users. More than 60% of its university students are female. Iran today has a strong feminist, labor and university student movement, which forms that backbone of Iran’s democratic movement. It is insulting to Iranians to claim that such an enlightened population can be easily manipulated by foreign agents.
3. The CIA and other Western intelligence agencies CANNOT have a significant presence in Iran BECAUSE there is no U.S. Having learned the lessons of 1953, [and having been in cahoots with CIA in 1979 revolution], Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence has a tight grip on all the foreign embassies in Tehran. US has no Embassy in Tehran!
4. The very fact that brutal force was used to suppress the huge demonstrations hints not only at the depth of the roots of this movement, but also its authenticity as a genuinely Iranian phenomenon. Due to what has been done to it by foreign powers over the past 200 years, is deeply suspicious of foreigners. Are all these leaders of the Green Movement Mousavi, Khatami, and Mahdi Karroubi, who have (by the power of their popular support) gained the support of Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, FOREIGN agents??
5. Unlike in Ukraine and Georgia, that the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) of the United States had a significant presence in those nations, the NED does not have any partner to work with in Iran. A couple of Iranian intellectuals, such as Ramin Jahanbeglou, who had visited the NED in the United States, were quickly arrested upon returning to Iran.

Now Sahimi draws attention to some of our gullible leftist friends' defense of the rightist realities behind Ahmadinejad:

The Fatwa issued by Ayatollah Mohammad Taghi Mesbah Yazdi several days before the election, authorizing the use of fraud in order to “re-elect” Ahmadinejad, was fake and a propaganda ploy by the Mousavi camp, in order to prepare the people for incitement after the election.

Well well, this news was distributed by the staff of the Interior Ministry! Sahimi was the first to report about the Fatwa, which he had received by e-mail from a highly reliable source in Iran but he didn't attach author’s name because he was terrified by the possibility that his extended family in Iran may be hurt! Lack of attribution became the “reason” for the leftists to believe that the Fatwa was fake; However, other Iranian websites (all using Persian) and even Iranian newspapers in Iran reported on it, BUT no one in the conservative camp denied the Fatwa.

Sahimi then gives examples of Soviet-Style killings of the whistle blowers, blaming it for lack of attribution on many news articles that come from Iran.

Ayatollah Mesbah Yazdi, who is Ahmadinejad's mentor, has made statements such as this [but because we, the "leftist Iranians", have been busy fighting George Bush thus have not drawn attention to our version of Bin Ladan in Iran]:

• Those who are opposed to the Velaayat-e Faghih (guardianship of the jurist; the backbone of Iran’s political system) should get a passport and leave the country.
• People are sheep; their opinion does not matter.
• If people do not give their consent to the Islamic government that he advocates, it is permissible to obtain their consent by force.
• Islam does allow use of violence to govern an Islamic nation.
• Iran’s Supreme Leader is selected by God; the task of the ayatollah is to discover whom God has selected.
• The powers of the Supreme Leader are unlimited. He can act above and beyond what Iran’s Constitution allows him to do.

ANOTHER Leftis absurdity:

Kenneth Timmerman, a well-known Iran basher, had invoked the Fatwa heavily. In other words, just because Timmerman had used the Fatwa in his propaganda, the Fatwa could not have been true! Another absurd argument was that some of the Iranian websites that reported on the Fatwa contain advertisements for the U.S.-funded Radio Farda and Voice of America! This is beyond fiction. It is hallucination.

Sahimi also mentions the patronizing crowd, who want to decide what is good for Iran and Iranians:

Ahmadinejad is the president that Iran deserves. He is good enough for the backward Iranians.

And of course there is another crowd of so-called leftists that supports Ahmadinejad because,

Ahmadinejad has resisted the pressure by the U.S. Empire for dismantling Iran’s uranium enrichment program.

Sahimi, the author of this article is an antiwar activist, and has been writing about Iran’s nuclear program for years, and has been defending it in terms of Iran’s national rights in the framework of the relevant international agreements. (Read the article to be reminded that it was indeed Mousavi who put the Nuclear program back on track as Prime Minister, and Khatami who laid the foundation for today's achievements)

However defending Iran’s nuclear program does not necessitate supporting an illegitimate second term of Ahmadinejad, or silence about the rigged election and its aftermath.

Faceoff: Ahmadinejad vs. Velayat Faghih

On the front page of Hossein Shariatmadari's today Newspaper, Keyhan, there is a picture of Khamenei's not-so-orthographic order to Ahmadinejad. It is Brisk:

In the Name of God

Honorable Mister Doctor Ahmadinejad, Respectable President of the Islamic Republic [no this is not nice, it;s just normal formulation]

With Salam and greetings, Assigning Mr (then opening a V to add Honorable before Mr) Esfandiayr Rahim-Mashayee to the post of deputy president is not in the interest of yourself and teh government, and will cause divisions and disappointment amongst those who love you. It is essential that the mensioned assignment be reversed and its anullment be announced.

Seyed Ali ... shomething(Khamenei?)

27/4/88 [ 19 July 2009]

Well, it's worth noticing that three days after this letter was issued, Ahmadinejad appeared in public, sang the priases of his beloved Mashayee and insisted that he must not be removed!

Today, Hossein Shariatmadari is considering Ahmadinejad's pick and his stubborn defiance of the Supreme leader's orders as "another wing of the velvet revolution"!!

I am getting confused now:

• Ahmadinejad is defying the Velayat-e Faghih in Action
• The Greens are calling for abolishing Velayat-e Faghih, but theoretically and constitutionally and through referendum.
• The people who call the Greens agents of CIA are now calling Ahmadinejad agent of CIA as well
• The People who call Ahmadinejad and the Greens agents of CIA are the only ones to have received a direct letter from President Obama!

Details of economic aids of Ahmadinejad's government to Hamas and Hezbollah

Wednesday, 24 July 2009

Last week the Head of the Imam Khomeini’s Charitable Foundation said: “Giving dowry to new brides in some countries not only is not a cost but also is considered as an investment for the country, because this is done with the purpose of transferring Islamic Republic’s culture and ideology to these countries and the official diplomacy can benefit from that.” Soon people paid attention to these comments. Perhaps because the people who are paying tolls or are making donations in the charity boxes in the streets has just learned that the money that they were donating for their own good, is probably being spent to buy computer for the girls in Comoros or dowry for the new brides in Azerbaijan. Interestingly during these past four years at the same time that the ninth administration took office the Head of the Imam Khomeini’s Charitable Foundation, who after the Revolution was appointment to this position (for 24 years) by Imam [Khomeini] and then later by the Supreme Leader, was also changed; and after this change the statistics of the aids in some cases were increased even by hundred percent. On the other hand the Imam Khomeini’s Charitable Foundation is giving out these aids to other countries despite the fact that occasionally we are witnessing unusual behaviours from some of these countries. One of the events was burning the oil shipment donated by the Imam Khomeini’s Charitable Foundation in Azerbaijan that during the news silence nobody paid much attention to it. The Imam Khomeini’s Charitable Foundation is helping some countries that are generally among the underdeveloped and third-world countries, for example providing dowry for new brides in Comoros. The whole population of Comoros is 700,000. There is an airplane for the trips of Comoros president, Ahmed Abdallah Sambi who was one of Ayatollah Mesbah-Yazdi’s students, which did not exist before and [the government of] Iran had sent it to him prior to his trip to Iran.

The Imam Khomeini’s Charitable Foundation in Lebanon:

The country that Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah is from has an area of 10452 square Kilometers, but its population like its area is almost half of Tehran. You might not know, but Muslims are not all of the population. Lebanon’s ethnicity is diverse; some of them are in Iran as well. Lebanon’s population is consistent of 60 percent Arabs, 36 percent Assyrians and Syrians, 4 percent Armenians and one percent Kurds and Jews. The Imam Khomeini’s Charitable Foundation in Lebanon was established and formally started to work in March 1986. By March 2006 (after two decades of activity) the total number of the Imam Khomeini’s Charitable Foundation units in Lebanon was 20 units. 460 cities and villages of Lebanon are under cover of the Foundation. All the main branches are run by councils of 3 to 5 people and the central unit that is run by a council of 5 people is responsible for coordinating and supervising all the branches. The total aid payment of the Imam Khomeini’s Charitable Foundation in Lebanon to those who demanded support in 2006 was more than 15,364,928 million dollars. The total number of the families under cover of the Imam Khomeini’s Charitable Foundation in March of 2006 was 7,486 which is equivalent to the population of 16,045. The number of people under cover in 2006 in comparison to the previous year, i.e. 2005, (5212 families with the population of 13172) was 43.6 percent increased with respect to the number of families and 21.8 percent increased with respect to the population.

The Imam Khomeini’s Charitable Foundation in Syria:

Syria is a country with an area of 185,000 square Kilometers and a population of 18.5 million. The total number of families under cover of the Imam Khomeini’s Charitable Foundation in Syria in March of 2006, was 2126 with the population of 9289.

Iran’s 90 dollar monthly aid to hundreds of thousands of Palestinian workers:

After Israeli’s attack on Palestine, On Qods day the Imam Khomeini’s Charitable Foundation called for donations and set up specific locations to collect public donations to help the oppressed Palestinian Muslims. The net worth of the collected donations for the oppressed Palestinian Muslims was more than 410,000 dollars. Of course this is only a small example of Iran’s aids to Palestinians. Before March, the Palestinian Prime Minister announced Iran’s 250 million dollar aid to the Palestinian government and people. According to “Aftab” news agency, Ismail Haniya’s remarks were published in the Thursday issue of the Lebanese newspaper, “Alsafir”, in which he stated: “The conclusion of my trip to Iran was the 250 million dollar financial aid to Palestine and presenting a plan for the direct financial and economical support of the government and the people of Palestine.” Haniya also said: “For instance, in this aid, there was 120 million dollar allocated for financial support of the Palestinian government in 2007 and also 45 million dollar was allocated for the salaries of the three Palestinian Ministries’ employees and for the payment of the Palestinian families’ allowance for 6 months.” Haniya that was interviewing with this Lebanese newspaper, added: “Iran also accepted to pay 100 dollars to 100,000 Palestinian workers every month and continue to do so for 6 months which comes to the total of 60 million dollar.” According to him: “Iran has also accepted to pay 100 dollars a month to every one of the three thousand fishermen who were banned from sailing since few months ago, and to continue to do so for 6 months which will come to a total of 1.8 million dollars.” At the end the Palestinian Prime Minister said: “Iran will build the Cultural Center of Palestine and national libraries with the total cost of 15 million dollar; and will reconstruct two thousand demolished houses with the total cost of 20 million dollars.”

The Imam Khomeini’s Charitable Foundation in Afghanistan:

Afghanestan is a country with an area of 652 thousand square kilometers and close to 28.5 million populations. With continuation of civil war in this country, the aids from the Imam Khomeini’s Charitable Foundation to this country was stopped in the summer of 1998 but with the beginning of post-Taliban era the activities of the foundation was started in January 2002 in the city of Kabul and in 2003 in Harat and Nimrouz. By March 2008, 5252 families with a total population of 21777 were covered by the foundation in that country. Furthermore, in the same year, additional 745 families with a population of 3498 have received aids from the foundation in one or two occasions.

The Imam Khomeini’s Charitable Foundation in Azerbaijan:

Azerbaijan is a country with an area of 86,600 square kilometers and about 8 million populations (almost same as Tehran). The Imam Khomeini’s Charitable Foundation in this country has 464 cities and villages under its coverage. By March 2008, 9593 families with a total population of 27875 were permanently covered by the foundation in that country. Furthermore, in the same year, the foundation had additional 5148 families with a population of 15272 under its coverage and support on a case by case situation. The total amount paid as aids to the beneficiaries and for the expenses of the foundation in Tajikistan in 2007 was 2,211,694 dollars.

By the end of 2007, 7154 families with a total population of 27967 were covered by the foundation in that country which a majority of them were from the Muslim abandoned or immigrant families; while also some families from Russian descent were also receiving aids from this foundation. The total amount paid as aids to the beneficiaries and for the expenses of the foundation in Tajikistan in 2007 was more than 1,341,701 dollars.

The Imam Khomeini’s Charitable Foundation in Comoros:

Where do you think Comoros is located? Perhaps you have never heard its name but you have definitely seen the images of the strange and bizarre dance of some people with make ups like the primitive natives of Africa in front of the president of our country. A dance, that IRNA (the news agency belonging to the administration) covered as part of Ahmadinejad’s trip to Comoros and some African countries last year in great detail and reported in multiple parts. Comoros is a country which the history of his establishment does not reach [even] half a century. A country with a population of less than one million or specifically about 790 thousands; and with an area of about 2 thousand square kilometers. In order to, have an idea of the size of Comoros, compare it with Tehran. Tehran is 19 thousand square meters and has a population of more than 7 millions (some statistics have even reported a population of almost 12 million for Tehran). [However] this small African country has also not remained hidden from the eyes of our government and with the invitation from high-ranked authorities of [some] African countries and with coordination from the political and cultural centers of our country in Tanzania, Comoros, Sierra Leone and Madagascar (the same countries that Ahmadinejad visited a while ago), they have conducted special communications, dealings and activities; one of which could be pointed out to be the establishment of industrial college in four areas: computer, residential and industrial power, tailoring and trade. The Imam Khomeini’s Charitable Foundation, since its start in Comoros supports more than 500 families in need or caring for an orphan in Comoros. Of course the exact number of people under coverage has not been published but even we consider each family to consist of 5 people then the Imam Khomeini’s Charitable Foundation supports 2500 people of the total population of 790 thousands in Comoros. Of course the people of Comoros appreciate Iran’s aids. According to a report by Borna [news agency] around end of the last year, Ahmed Abdallah Mohamed Sambi, the president of Comoros, in his speech in the auditorium of the foundation’s office, showed gratitude for the efforts of the Islamic Republic of Iran and especially the Imam Khomeini’s Charitable Foundation, in this country. According to the report by this news agency, Sambi in this speech, while mentioning the remarks made by our country’s president about providing suitable resources in Comoros by Iran, deemed that the presence of the Imam Khomeini’s Charitable Foundation in Comoros to be very pleasant for that country.

Sambi, student of Mesbah:

Ahmed Abdallah Mohamed Sambi (born 5 June 1958) known as the politician Ayatollah and one of the Sunni Muslim clergies (although you will read in the next session that Ahmadinejad in his memoirs considers Sambi to be Shia) and from Comoros. He became the president of this country in 2006. His coming to power was the result of the first peaceful transfer of power in the history of Comoros which is filled with Coups. He is also the first president of Comoros who is from Anjavan, an island which gave up his request for separation from Comoros Islands. Sumbi, like the majority of natives of Comoros, is Sunni Muslim and the title of Ayatollah has been given to him because of his stay and education in the city of Qom. He studied the theory of political Islam in Qom, and it is said that he was a student of Mohammad-Taghi Mesbah-Yazdi. After that he continued his education in Sudan and Saudi Arabia.

Iran’s private plane for the Ayatollah:

One of the serious criticisms of Ahmadinejad against the “reform” administration was the use of a private plane by the reformist authorities but even though he himself was not using that private plane but it was sent from Iran to go and bring Sumbi to Iran! A website supporter of the ninth administration reported that for the visit of the president of Comoros from Iran, Ahmadinejad had ordered that a Falcon plane went to Comoros and brought him to Iran. This pro-Ahmadinejad source which has started to publish some of the memories of friends and associates of the Head of ninth administration, wrote: “The president of Comoros is Muslim and Shia. He has studied in Iran and has been a student of Mr. Mesbah-Yazdi. He wanted to visit Iran but since he didn’t possess a suitable plane to come to Iran, doctor [Ahmadinejad] ordered that a Falcon plane be sent to bring him.”

Setting the oil shipment on fire in Azerbaijan:

In 2008, like years before that, the foreign affair office of the Imam Khomeini’s Charitable Foundation in Azerbaijan sent out packages of aids which sends out every year to the cities and villages of this republic such as: Baku, Lankaran, Goychay, Ganja, and etc but it appears that this year one of the oil shipments which were sent to this republic like previous year was set on fire in Lankaran by the authorities of Republic of Azerbaijan.

Amir-Haadi Anvari, E'temad Melli

Mrs Rakshan Bani-Etemad, one of the best documentarist of Iran: Give my camera a break, and I will show you what's happening "Under the City Skin"

Iranian writer-director Rakhshan Bani-Etemad is probably Iran's best known and certainly most prolific female filmmaker. She began her career making documentaries for television and her features are steeped in research on Iran's economic and social problems (source). A number of her films are available abroad, including the features Nargess (story of a prostitute in love in the IRI), The May Lady(the story of a single mother of a teenage boy in love) and Under the Skin of the City (about ordinary urban realities of ordinary people which are extraordinary struggles), Gilaneh and the documentary Our Times (about women's political aspirations and regards of democracy.)

Within hours of violence staged against the protesters and media crackdown in the aftermath of the election, she distributed the below video reading a statement on behalf of Iranian documentarists demanding freedom of expression.

She is speaking up again:

I am not afraid.

I am not afraid if in the turmoils of these conspicuous times I will be accused of conspiracy.

I am not afraid to be accused of stirring unrest, but you cannot deny that I am a mother; not only the mother of "Tandis & Baran" [refering to her daughter Baran Kowsari], but also the mother of all that youth who has been witnessing their own mothers through the windows of my films; mother of "Touba", "Gilaneh", "Forough", "Narges", "Seema" and ... [names of female protagonists of her films]

I am the mother of all those who have opened their homes to me; who have told me their suppressed pains of years, such that I can depict their life sufferings on film.

Out of respect for the trust of all my audience, I feel entitled to the right of seek justice for all these mothers who, in the chaos of this crisis, are helpless and vulnerable, either having lost their children, or frantically and frightened seek the missing ones in the four corners of the city. [I feel entitled] to writing this open letter to say that no law, no concern, and no politics justify the pain they are suffering.

In a condition that no media is there to report the truth and no official takes the responsibility of helping the killer anxiety of these parents, how can we not tremble on every rumor of the torture of killing of a young son or daughter?

Give my camera a break to provide you a naked picture, perhaps you do not know what is really happening under the skin of the city.

And here is a translation of her first public statement on this matter:

We are documentary filmmakers.

Our job is to uncover and express truth. expressing truth from several points of view. In the events of the past few days, by hiding reality, the national media is making it impossible for the members of the society to have access to the reality.

We are documentary filmmakers, our job is communication.

Iranian national TV belongs to the whole of the country and is obliged to reflect the opinions and the events of society, hence it must not be the mouth peace of a specific faction and exclude a large portion of the society.

We are documentary filmmakers, and our job is art, committed to culture and the language of our country. Reporting language has to be the guardian of the dignity of the nation. By censoring, spinning and using an inappropriate reporting languahe, the national TV has on the one hand, made lying a norm in the society, and on the other uses disrespectful language against people and in so doing provokes people into chaos and revolt.

We warn you that at the current inflamed situation, depriving the society from ability from peaceful expression of their demands draws the society into violent reactions in people who prior to election were expressing their opinions on their favorite candidates, peacefully side by side.

We warn that these actions [of the national TV, Seda o Seema] lead to violence and unrest and makes them liable for any massacre and chaos in the society and endangers a country that if guaranteed of justice, can reach a true national unity.

Every single one of these people, in every single day of every single year of the past 30 years have been compassionate to each other's sorrow and happiness. They have fought next to each other and have given martyrs and victims.

We are a people of thousand years of history. We are all together, we all share the history of this land.
Don't break us apart!

IMPORTANT: Voice of The "security" and intelligence forces! DISGUSTING!!!

http://www.zandiq.com/pandiq/files/persian%20-%20hamayeshe%20kousar%20-%20sader3-21_22.mp3

This is in Persian; but it shows the characer of the THUG who is heading the security forces.

(Listen to his intonation, listen to his vulgar jokes, his condescending behavior towards his own subordinates.)

This also shows that the extent of protests has gone far beyond Tehran.

This is also illustrating that they are trying to intimidate people to prevent gathering of large crowds again. They were caught by surprise on Friday.

They keep repeating the term "psychological warfare" ...

A suggestion by a Kurdish "Oppressor" (who happens to be the MOST intelligent of them all):

"Leave people channels to run away; and beat and arrest their leaders! Crowds are usually just curious observers who can get emotional, when these people see their leaders are arrested, they will run away. If they are caught in a corner, like a cornered cat, then can claw your eyes out ... Don't bruise their emotions by insulting them ... Don't bring out the special forces to give photo-ops of oppression ..."

The Turkish one: "We used Taxis to listen to people's sentiments to know how to control; the other tactic was to send women in the university and hospitals to give us information; locations of detention should be secret and spread to avoid a central locus of crisis!"

Sigh ... Kurds versus Turks ... why don't we let Kurds run our country??!

All Persians, LISTEN to this. ESSENTIAL! PLEASE LISTEN!

Old pictures of Hashemi, Khamenei & Mousavi

The man in the low right side of the above picture is Khamenei, lighting his pipe. I guess this is where the rumor for his opium addiction is reinforced. The big man to Khamenei's left is Hosein Beheshti; he was killed in an explosion on 7 Tir 1360. I don't know who is nest to him (help?) and the one in white turban is Hashemi Rafsanjani.

This is when Mousavi (left) was the prime minister and Hashemi (with his usual smile) was the parliament speaker.

From left to right: Mousavi (prime minister), Hashemi Rafsanjani (Speaker of Parliament), Khamenei (President "select" after the president "elect" Rajayee was killed in an explosion, and then he became elect!!) and Mousavi Ardabili (head of the judiciary).

Hashemi Rafsanjani, before his second detention!

Today, Rasfsanjani published a 40 year old record of one of his revolutionary speeches, allegedly taped by SAVAK: (this is the highlighted quote on his web site)

"One must not fear anything. When one is to be tested, to have good intentions and high but empty claims is not sufficient. Each generation has to pass a test, but what test is higher than a social one, leaving ones family behind to serve God. Sacrifice in heart is not useful. Be brave a little."

This letter is unmistakably treated as his indirect response to Khamenei's yesterday implicit threats. Khamenei, had said:

"

The elites have to be careful, because any of their actions or paroles that risks the security is a movement against the will of the people[!!!!]. [The elites] have to watch what they say and what they do not say, because not saying what they have to say is evading responsibility, and saying what they do not have to say is acting against duty. [Is anyone remembering Bush's speeches?]

The Elite have to watch it, because they are in a big test, and not succeeding in this exam not only fails them, but also will make them fall!"

Sample of Iran's News on the eve of "The 30 Tir Uprising"

(Have you taken the poll yet? Look on the right!)

On July 16th,1952 Prime Minister Mosaddegh hands in his resignation in protest to obstacles by the Monarch in implementation of the Nationalization of the Oil in Iran. His resignation is accepted and Ghavam-Ol_Saltaneh is instated as the interim prime minister and installed teh army in the streets to prevent potential revolt by the supporters of Mosaddegh's nationalist party.

Despite the heavy military presence, the Iranians flooded streets of several cities and with the slogan of "Either Death or Mosaddegh". With hundreds of killed and wounded, undeterred, they overwhelmed the military on July 21, 1952, (30 Tir, 1331); toppled the hand picked chancellor of Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi and reinstated Mohammad Mosadegh with full authority as demanded by Mosaddegh prior to resignation.

As we speak, the anniversary of this triumphant day of victory in Iran has begun.

As we speak, 57 years later, the green-ones are preparing to express their demands in creative and peaceful manners such as creating a blackout at the time when the full-of-lies national news is broadcast, burning candles, and standing in silent vigils.
The irony of the history repeating ...

Today, Ayatollah Khamenei has come out again, in his opiated state perhaps, uttering threats, this time against the pillars of the Islamic Republic, perhaps addressing the Assembly of Experts and the religious elite. He is acting more and more like a caged wounded animal facing death, thus acting more violently. And I am still baffled, for I NEVER imagined him to suffer such a tragic absence of sense!

And as remembering this historical moment, this is what one of Iran's official news agencies is busy with:

I thought I make you a snapshot of the web page and translate the headlines (in red; forgive the typo in foreign!). One picture worth a thousand words. Need I speak more on the hypocrisy of the state that we call an Islamic Republic? (Maybe they will say something relevant and meaningful in a few hours? If they do, I will post again.)

For some footage of "Ghyaam-e sy-eh Tir" (the 30 Tir uprising) you can watch this video.

From Archives of Neoresistance: on fascism.

In September 2007, when America was nervously anticipating fascist actions of Bush/Cheney Co. I made this post

Interestingly, the current IRI regime aces all these 10 items of fascism prerequisits:

1. Invoking an external and internal threat
2. Establishing secret prisons
3. Developing a paramilitary force
4. Surveiling ordinary citizens
5. Infiltrating citizens' groups
6. Arbitrarily detaining and releasing citizens
7. Targeting key individuals
8. Restricting the press
9. Casting criticism as "espionage" and dissent as "treason"

10. Subverting the rule of law (while accusing the opposition of 'imaginary' crimes!)

I remembered this post when I came across this Persian Blog that was citing an essay by Lawrence Britt.

Khamenei's lost his mind. He is the Spirit of Gravity (without being profound, thorough or solemn!)

And makes me think of Nietzsche's Thus Spake Zarathustra"

I should only believe in a God that would know how to dance.   And when I saw my devil, I found him serious, thorough, profound, solemn: he was the spirit of gravity- through him all things fall.   Not by wrath, but by laughter, do we slay. Come, let us slay the spirit of gravity!   I learned to walk; since then have I let myself run. I learned to fly; since then I do not need pushing in order to move from a spot.   Now am I light, now do I fly; now do I see myself under myself. Now there danceth a God in me.

Translating for a Persian blogger addressing his Palestinian Brother

What is expressed in the following is not necessarily my opinion. But I think for Palestinians, it is critical to know how the actions of Ahmadinejad and the IRI make the majority of Iranians feel about them.

Yes, a lot of people in Iran are 'convinced' that the Basijis who engage in brutalization of the Iranian protesters are from Hamas or Hezbollah ... We NEED to hear from you DENOUNCING the actions of IRI ... denouncing them being the only regime other than the Israeli one to attack innocent people during a friday prayer ... your silence is feeding our doubts ...

Translated transcript of Part 5 of Hashemi's Friday Prayer speech July 17 2009

Original YouTube

(first 52 seconds of this clip he is talking about China and ending his sentence by wishing that the rational government of China and other governments do not oppress the Muslims around the world)

Now I am going to return to our own issue. As I said in the second and third parts of the sermon we want to discuss matters that relate to ourselves. Well ... thank god, in the election process that we started and ended, we began very nicely. There was a good competition. It was organized well. It was a competition between four individuals whose qualifications were approved by The Guardian Council. They competed and competed well and people were hopeful that they could participate in election with full freedom, and really, the turnout was unprecedented. And in a situation that everything was heading in the direction of gaining our country an epics pride, whose credit should be given to the people, because it was they who came forward and broke the voting records. We have to be grateful to people that in a time that no country has such a level of participation, they freely came forward and took part in the election. This is very valuable. I wish the same condition had prevailed till today and that today we had the highest achievements irrespective of the result. But it didn't turn out that way. SO the principle issue here is "what do we need?"

What I want to express in essence is "what does the revolution need?" These things that you are hearing, you are hearing from someone who has been accompanying every second of this movement since the inception of this revolution by our late Imam [khomeini]. We are talking about 60 years now. We knew what Imam wanted.

We know what was the principle of his fights. When in those days people came with proposals of using arms or forming coalition parties,Imam said that "what I need is the people; do all you can to acquaint the hearts of the people with our struggles." To us, students, he said that as religious students your role is to go to mosques and podiums and explain to people what we want. If people are with us will have every thing. {Imam] didn't disagree with party activities, but what he followed was the prophet's path; which was to bring people to the scene based on their own will and their own beliefs. This was Imam's art which led to success. It took 20 years until people became aware, of course we paid a price, we gave martyrs, prisoners, Imam was exiled and many of these things. But our gain was much higher. People became so aware that those who are older remember how they flooded the streets in the last two years [of Shah's regime]. And these very streets full of Imam supporters broke the back of the arrogant regime of Pahlavi who in those days was supported by the East and the West and had coffers full of cash because of the high prices of oil; and could do anything he wished. But these people came and intimidated them [Pahlavi's] such that hey abandoned all and left and we became victorious.

And after revolution, we worked with Imam on a daily basis and his principle was that Islamic governance without people's participation is not possible. If people are not satisfied, that government is not doable. And I heard an anecdote in those years. I didn't know it's source and didn't ask but looked for it later myself. It is an interesting anecdote [ravayat is anecdotes about Prophet's actions and paroles] which was the principle of Imam's reasoning --of course Imam's sources were plenty, they were both Koranic and Figh'hi but this was a very poignant one expressing the role Imam considered for the people. I have jotted this anecdote down. It's from the book Kashf El Na'ajjam, from Seyyed Bin Tavous, who is one of our most invaluable teachers of or 7th century (~ 12 century AD). Please listen to this, this is one of the most clear principles of Imam's thinking:

'this is a story told by Imam Ali in the last years of Prophet Mohammad's life when he was worried about the future; this is what prophet Mohammad has told Imam Ali: [it's Arabic, I only translate what Hashemi translates:] Ali, you are the leader of this Ummah (people), if you see these people are happy and come and accept you and give you majority of support--of course majority is always proportional and it is never absolute--if they did, then accept this position, become their leader and sort out their affairs. But if you see they disagree, and did not once to you in majority, leave them alone and let them do what they want. Let them do it themselves, and god will find you a way to reach your goals. This is a credible ravayat, and it is cited by one of the most credible of our teachers. This is not the only Ravayat; we have many, we have books, many books, this is just one anecdote. This has been the principle of prophet's government and we based the Islamic government on that. We put the basis on people's accompaniment and they have come along really well.

And it was based on this thinking that when Imam chose Mohandes Bazargan as the head of the temporary government post revolution, we had not over taken the government of Shah. Bakhtiyar was still here, he was the head of the government. But Imam was in rush to pass on the government to people and in the memo that he gave to Mohandes Bazargan, the first objective is set on shortening the period of temporary government and forming the parliament and the assembly of Revolution (Shoraye Enghelab) to write the new constitution so that after that people can live on the new Islamic constitution. And when we were preparing the new constitution before passing it on to the Assembly of Experts, Imam reviewed it and emphasized parts that were related to people and conceded the work [power] to people. Later on, when we saw countries like Algeria, they were surprised and were telling us that it took them 20 years to write their constitution. They thought we were not thinking this through. We responded that we have come to power on people's power and we know that this people will support their revolution and their religion so we are not worried. And we were right. You know that from the perspective of the constitution, everything in our country depends on people's vote. Everything from Leadership ... [See next part]

I chose these pictures because they illustrate the diversity of Iran, and the diversity of those who have chosen to gather under the Green umbrella. It is not about the supposed leaders of this movement. At this moment it seems leaderless to me and what unites people is their collective love and care for their country and even their religion which is being savagely tarnished by recent actions of the supreme leader.

I want you to focus on the 3rd and the 6th picture.

In the 3rd, in the 40+ celsius heat of Tehran, you see a man with a green hat and a white chefiyah. Another young guy is in heavy argument with the guards whose back is to the camera, and the rest in the back have their hands in the air.

In the 6th photo, you see a Basiji who is aiming his gun and another basiji who is running towards him from the left, with his hand raised in a gesture of "stop". Also in the same photo, notice the man in a pink shirt. He is a photographer, it seems.

These pictures, everyone of them, defy stereotype. This is Iran! The grand paradox!

Translated transcript of Part 7 of Hashemi's Friday Prayer speech July 17 2009

Previous part: http://iranfacts.blogspot.com/2009/07/translated-transcript-of-part-6-of.html

Part 7 (translation starts from minute 3:20 of this video as the early part is repeated from part 6)

"we have to sympathise with them [the families of the victims of protests] And we have to take the high road. Here we don't need to rush, and we don't need to get personally involved. We should let the media that has obtianed permit to operate freely, in the frame of law, I said before that the law is the reference, is the framework. Neither the media should expect to exceed the limits of the law nor the establishment to should expect the media to neglect their legal right . All together, let us have a calm and free atmosphere in which both criticism and approval can exist. I think if this atmosphere is created by our official by our military and security forces ... we are all member of one family, we all have paid a price for this revolution, we all have invested in this hard sacred path, we all have martyrs in the Marty's Gardens [cemetery], we have the war veterans amongst us ... why should it be that people from far places should come and prescribe for us [he is referring to russian/chinese or american/europeans or both simultaneously?] Don't we know ourselves? Aren;t we wise? Aren't we experienced in running a country for 30 years? Don't we have our elite and our "Marja'" [i.e. grand ayatollahs who can issue Fatwas] who have always supported us in the seminaries, without expecting anything in return? why do we have to upset some of them? We have to keep them by our side. We have to have their support. We have to rely on them. If we can create this unity, in sha allah [god willing], I think this Friday Sermon can be a point of departure towards future and safely cross these unfortunate troubles which we can call crisis, may we witness again a unity and cooperation and healthy competition, whoever people want, be it.

[people chant hashemi-hashemi hemayatat mikonm, i.e. hashemi we support you, but then slogans start mixing and become incomprehensible]

God keep you. God be the keeper of you. God keep you. God give you success, and you be always safe and present on the scene with this very spirit

[And then he starts reciting koran ...]

Inna a'tinaka al kowsar ... Fasalle le rabbeka va [al]nhar ... Inna shane'aka hova al abtar

[It's Arabic]

[end]

Then those in the front rows, who were allegedly basijis who could only enter the closed space if they showed their membership card stand up and chant: the blood in our vein is a gift to our Leader (suppose Khameni)

Can anyone help me find a translation for the Koran verse please? My memory's failing me and my husband's sleeping in another time zone to give me his usual help :)

Translated transcript of Part 6 of Hashemi's Friday Prayer speech July 17 2009

Here's the original on You Tube

If you cite these transcripts please give reference to neo-resistance. These mullahs don't often use proper grammar, so I have tried to translate his speech in a grammatically correct manner that makes it understandable to someone who cannot fill in the Persian gaps! But I have stayed 99.9% close to his words (that doesn't mean I haven't made English errors though!).

"People have to choose the "Khobregan" [Assembly of experts which selects the supreme leader], and Khobregan the leader; i.e. it has to be created from people's vote. The president should be elected by people directly. The parliament should be elected by people directly. The city councils should be elected by people directly. And the people who are assigned to positions after that will be leaning on people's vote. It means this would be a people's government, this would be a religious government. The "Islamic Republic" is not a formal phrase, it [the government] is both Islamic and a Republic. The Islamic Republic is not a word, it is a reality that we have inherited from our beliefs, from our Koran, from the Hadith, from our saints from our prophet and we believe in their unison. They have to be together. Be sure that if either of these two [Islamic or republic] are damaged, we will lose that revolution. If it is not Islamic we will be heading to the abyss. If it is not a republic, then it will be essentially unattainable. Where people and their vote are absent, it is not an Islamic government; for the same reason that I said before, for the same reason that Imam Ali stayed home for 19 years until people came to him in huge numbers, in as many as the number of the strands of a horse's mane--as history goes--and sought his leadership; then he accepted it and accepted it with all it's problems. This has been our path. this is where we have to arrive. And this is what we have to reinforce on a daily basis. And this election, if it was free of troubles, it would have been the greatest step in thirty years in achieving the goals of our Islamic revolution. I am not saying we haven't but I want to ask why this happened.

From what I understand, and based on which I am seeking a solution is that towards the end of the election campaign some seeds of doubt were planted. For whatever reason, whether by wrong advertisements or by inappropriate actions of the state television [He explicitly names Seda o Seema] some planted the seeds of suspicion in people's minds. We consider doubt to be the worst of perils. [this is in fact a reference to a religious principle in Islam that considers doubt as the worst enemy of faith]

[... people start slogans and he asks them to be quiet.]

This doubt began eating up our people's souls. Of course there are two groups. One groups is stubborn and is standing and is doing what they want, and another group, which is not small and is a "laaaaarge" portion of the wide and erudite people of our society are saying that we doubt and we have to work hard to gain their trust.

Today is a bitter day, i.e. the events that unfolded after the election have created a bitter period. I don't think any one, any one from any of the parties wanted thing turning this way. Right now, we all have lost, all of us. Why should this have happened? Today we need unity more than ever. Our country needs to stand united in front of all these dangers that threaten us and those whose extortion have increased today and are pushing to set us back in our hi tech and nuclear achievements. Of course god won't let them but they are tempted.

My brothers, my sisters, you know me, you know that I have never used this tribune to support any factions. You know that I have acted above the party lines and I am doing the same now and I am not addressing any specific party. I am talking to everyone and in my opinion, together we have to think and find a solution to both advance our country and also to wipe the ugly and dangerous effects of the grudges that are emerging, and also to disappoint our enemies to not eye us greedily. What should we do to make this possible? I have a few suggestions which I have previously discussed with a few of my trustees in the Khobregan (Expert's assembly) and in the Expediency Council and this is the conclusion we have arrived at. I present these [suggestions] to you as solutions, may others [referring to Khamenei i think] reach the same conclusion and act upon them; such that hopefully with devotion [we can achieve this goal.]

Our main issue is to restore the faith that brought people out on the field in that [huge] scale; a faith that is tarnished a bit, today. It has to be our sacred goal to restore this trust. How? I will now say how. Take a note of these things:

1) We have to, all of us, be it the establishment, the government, the parliament, the security forces and the people, the so called protesters, we all have to move within the frames of law. If we break the boundaries of law, there won't be any other barriers. We have to express our problems legally and be content with the judgement of the law; our current law. Now if some people don't like the current law, then later they can find ways to challenge and reform and hopefully solve some of the problems that we just witnessed. But let's take the frame to be the law and all stick to it. That's one.

2) Of course the trust will not be restored over night as this is a long process. But we have to eventually create an atmosphere that all people can come and speak up their minds, and each side can express their opinion in a logical manner and without tension. Of course, this is the duty of Seda o Seema [the state TV] that has the largest audience. And other media have to do the same. discussions should be logical, sisterly and brotherly, sitting down and talking, each presenting their own evidence, and in this exchange people will be able to decipher what they need to know and they can be polled later. Unfortunately the opportunity to restore trust was lost by the Guardian council who was given 5 additional days to consult the legal and religious authorities to examine [the vote] to attract people's confidence. I don't want to say whose fault it was no, that that opportunity was lost. But it didn't happen. That opportunity passed. We are now in a different stage. I think for future, for our unity, for preventing dangers to the establishment and protecting the values that the revolution created, the glorious foundation that Imam and the martyr's blood and the struggles of the people who have tried in this path and the war veterans have left us, should be protected for the third and forth and later generations. f we accept these two solutions of staying in legal frames and opening the ways of discussion and debate perhaps in a short time we can reach satisfaction.

In the meantime we have to do other things too. It is not necessary to imprison any individuals under present labels [political] in current situation. Let these people [prisoners] join their families. Don't allow our enemies scorn us and humiliate us for imprisoning a few people. We need to have enough patience and courage to tolerate each other.

Next, our next issue is that we need to compensate and sympathize with the victims of the events that took place. We have to extend condolences to those who are mourning and soften their hearts. And this is doable, those who are believers of this system can quickly forgive us and give us their heart [oh yeah?], we have to do this with generosity ..."

Part 7: (continuing on importance of freedom of press)

Look at my blog history. I have been a HASHEMI-HATER for ever. But today, HASHEMI DID GREAT! He really did well! Everyone should listen!

If anyone has a full text transcript in Persian, PLEASE sent it to me so I translate it.

I am getting it off you tube myself. Here's English Translation.

Statement of Mousavi's camp in support of Hashemi's stance. I FULLY endorse this assessment.

"Despite plots to put heavy pressure on him, both before and during the friday prayer (having made it clear that they won't stop at anything given that they had arrested his children earlier), Mr Hashemi took a middle-left position that secured the minimum demands of the green movement.

Not only did he debunk the "confession project" (admitting that he was deceived to assist in selling the country to foreigners), but he also attested to the integrity of all those who were lined up to "confess" after him [referring to heavy pressure on Hajarian, Saharkhiz, Taaj zadeh ...]. Today, as a green link, he connected us to the chain of history.

Viva Hashemi!

In summary, Mr Hashemi demanded the following:

1) Freedom of political prisoners.

2) Media independence from state control

3) trying to restore people's trust and confidence

4) constitutional reform

He also condemned the china's treatment of the innocent muslims, uniting both the reformist and fundamentalist attendees to chant in unison: down with China!"

Peopel are REALLY out again ... CAN you imagine the indignation they feel to come out to FACE death but to be heard???

Hashemi's Friday-Prayer sermon was NOT conciliatory, it was pragmatic!

Here's translation in English

UPDATE: more people are coming out in support of Hashemi! I think I will forgive all his past crimes for his courageous appearance today!

Zahra Rahnavard, in Friday prayer. Woman in dark veil and blue shirt.

This is Karoubi before his turban falls.

The man sitting in the blue shirt with white hair/bears is Mousavi in today's prayer.

Please read the transcript by ISNA. (in persian)

Someone is fanning the flames in Iran!

As we speak, people are chanting:

Down with Russia
Political prisoners must be released
Down with dictator

Hashemi gave the speech he was expected. People are now being encouraged to "topple" the regime ... and this is NOT what we need. This is NOT what we need ... And the Los Angeles traitors as well as "mojahedine khalgh" are gleefully cheering on people to revolt ... I am just so depressed. I will translate and post things this weekend.

But for the record:
Mousavi WAS present in the prayer
More tear gas, more arrests, more stabbing ...
I cannot decipher rumors and facts now. I need to wait a few hours to get the bigger picture!

PLEASE DO NOT BELIEVE ANYONE right now! We NEED TO WAIT a few more hours!

See the role of US in the plane crash that killed 168 passengers today.

Please visit Tehran Bureau
...

Mousavi appears publicly to visit the mourning family of Sohrab A'arabi

This 19 years old boy was killed with a bullet in the heart! his mother was camping in front of the Evin prison for almost a month. Her son had already died over three weeks before she was called to identify the body, but no one bothered to inform her. In the meantime, she, a member of Mothers for Peace, was worrying and petitioning to prevent her son (and others) being tortured.

A'rabi's family is the first to have publicly defied the IRI orders of "holding a quiet funeral". His devastated mother's pledging to fight on! and so do many Iranians! (Sohrab;s father had died when he was 16, after a long battle with cancer)

What is concerning is that Sohrab's mother identified him from over 50 pictures she was shown. This means that at least over 50 of those who are missing may already be killed. When? We won't perhaps know. And because there is no opportunity of autopsy, then we will be inclined to believe the worst rumors about the Evin prisoners. And of course, those who want to blame us for spreading "propaganda" may instead go petition their beloved Ahmaghinejad regime to loosen up prisons, and let in journalists and independent observers to assess the human rights in Iran's prisons, political and otherwise!

This will also let us know who the 13 Balouch who were hanged were. Just because someone belong to Jondollah, which is branded as a wing of Al Quaeda, doesn't mean we should let their death go uninvestigated!

Without Caption

This picture was posted with some rumors that Khamenei's camp (allegedly his son Mojtaba) are planning to sacrifice Ahamdinejad (in an assassination plot) to further militarize and clamp down the reformists. Rumor it maybe, but no harm in being paranoid and vigilant!

Another Grand Ayatollah (Bayat Zanjani) gives a Fatwa against Ahmadinejad's fraudulent government

Here's the text in Persian

Essentially, it is in response to someone who asks if cooperation with the current government is against shari'a. And the Ayatollah's response is basically that he should stay, and try to change the illegitimate individual; but if his staying empowers him, then his cooperation is against sharia ...  

Open letter of Basiji veterans of Iran-Iraq war to Khamenei

source: various places, but I translate from here because I realized the previous letter I translated from a Basiji was twittered hundreds of times in less than a few hours; and I received messages asking for translation of this letter, which I had linked before.

In my opinion, there is a genuine wish in the heart of people to cut this fiasco short and to unite the country and to punish those who are tarnishing the reputation of the security establishments of the country, by using them against Iranians! (No Basijis are NOT and have never been very popular amongst the "westernized", but this letter makes you realize why. However, they were INSTRUMENTAL in defending us against Saddam.)

Voila the letter:

In the name of God

To His eminence, the supreme leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Khamenei 

With greetings and due respect,

Our understanding of "Velayat-e Faghih", at least based on our learnings from Imam Khomeini's lessons as well as your own statements and the Constitution, has been that it is the governance of a just and moderating individual who earns leadership based on his qualifications, and based on public approval which is mediated through the Assembly of Experts.  Because of this principle, we differentiate a regime based on "Velayat-e Faghih" from an oligarchic dictatorship. Therefore, when we speak to you in your leadership role, we consider you as one of the god servants who has dedicated himself to serving the people. It is because of this understanding of your role that we, who have served this revolution in fencing off the invading enemies of the revolution, are allowing ourselves to speak to you, as otherwise we would have been scrutinized for exceeding our lot in criticizing the highest position of the regime. Of course, if that were the case, then we would not have been addressing an Islamic establishment, but a despotic oligarchy.

At the same time, if there was an opportunity for people like us to speak to you directly without becoming a target of harassment of a group of opportunist bootlickers, we would have preferred to speak to you in private so our complaints would not be abused by the enemies. Nevertheless, speaking out at this critical situation is better than silence. 

The legacy of the 10th presidential election, which was one of the rarest of the political events of the Islamic revolution, which was applauded as magnificent both by friends and foes, has now fallen victim to conflicts that could have been wisely prevented. Presently, we are facing a situation that at least half of the society is in shock that these events have led to militarization and a healthy competition is replaced by hatred and animosity, and worse than all the blood of several muslim Iranians is spilled.

Now, for us Basijis who had battled the invading enemies for years in the war  plains, there is nothing more painful than to be associated with hired baton- and gun-holders who are ready to oppress the protesters to the election results, in exchange for a salary and benefits.

We don't forget those years that Basijis were bid heart-felt farewell by the people of cities and villages who considered them their eyes and lights. 

We won't forget those years that Basij was a symbol of defense and sacrifice for revolution. And while they were brave lions who attacked the enemy, in presence of the people they were humble as dust, and many even hid their bravery in the battle front, alas they be accused of opportunism and deception.

And now, in the current situation, the sacred name of Basij is equalled with Shah's "baton-holders"[chomagh be dastan, the gangsters who assisted in 1953 coup] and "monafegh's" militia [refereing to Mujahedin-e Khalgh who raised arm against Iranians together with Saddam!]. Now, the well intending children of Basij are pulled into a scene which they have not created, but they are paying the price for a situation in which they have had no role but obeying orders. And Your Eminence knows better than us that the spiritual damage is not easily repairable.

We expected of you, as someone who in 20 years had well conducted and managed the country through several critical junctures and had put the interests of the establishment ahead of political factions, to have handled this situation such that nothing but shame would remain on the face of our enemies. We don't understand why this didn't happen; and why the security forces confronted the people and happened what should not have.

This is our question: why unlike previous years that you left specialists and trustees to handle conflicts, you have personally gotten involved in such a manner that the sanctity of your position is now under assault?

This is our question: why despite your emphasis that the conflicts would be addressed via the Constitution, on Saturday 23 Khordad [June 13, the day after election] while the results of election had not been fully accounted yet, and the Guardian Council had not yet validated the results, you congratulated Mr Ahmadinejad.

This is our question: why after demonstration of more than two million in Tehran, and meeting with the representatives of the candidates where you promised addressing the complaints through legal channels, on Friday Prayer of 29 Khordad [June 19th], before the Guardian Council finished its investigation, you stated with certainty that an 11-million vote fraud is impossible. This is while you knew that other than Mr Ahmadinejad's supporters, other candidate's supporters were expecting their claims to be addressed. Even if you were certain that there was no fraud, would it not have been better of you allowed the certification of the election come through the Guardian Council so that it wouldn't make it look like you didn't keep your word?

Double approval of the results of election on 23 and 29 of Khordad [June 13 and 19], before finishing the investigation of the Guardian council raised the serious question of what this rush was all about? If we interpret your statement of June 13 as your provision for putting a cap on potential later conflicts, and if you expected people to accept your judgment, then why didn't you pay attention to large waves of protesters in Tehran and other cities, who made it clear they didn't accept your verdict? Was confronting 14 million, who constitute about half of the population in our interest?

This is our question: why in a situation that in the world view it seemed that the supreme leadership was biased towards Mr Ahmadinejad, and hence had rushed to approve his presidency prior to the Guardian Council's validation, you expressed special affection to Mr Ahmadinejad in the Friday Prayers of June 19, to an extent that you considered him closer to you than Mr Hashemi?

In a situation that different factions are expecting you to act like a judge, didn't the position of judgement require you to regards different sides of the conflict impartially?

Here, the discussion is not about Mr Mousavi, because he has not been around for many years and he may not be around after this. Rather, our discussion is about people who have voted for him and who will be present in the society after this. Don't you think that this confrontation consolidated a portion of the society to join in the protests of June 14th?

We witnessed that during the campaign, and even in protests before June 14th no one insulted you and the supporters of different candidates were prudent to not cross the red lines of the establishment. They even marched in protest in total silence. However after the Friday Prayer of 29 Khordad (June 19_ barriers were broken. And they said what they wouldn't have, reasoning that the leadership wanted this person to be president irrespective of the results of investigation, and that not only he [the leader] doesn't address our complaints, but also threatens us to death if we protest again!!

In practice, what have we seen? Thousands came to face off the security forces, and tens of people were killed and injured only to say that we cannot ignore them. And this is while your practice in the past 20 years was not to ignore people and even yourself said on June 19 that if people's trust vanishes the establishment cannot stand.

This is our question: why with that history [of yours] we should have ended up here? How can this 10th government be effective in this atmosphere of grudge and distrust?

This is our question: why despite emphasizing that all four candidates where personally approved by you, the election had to turn into the scene of life or death of the regime to such extent that retracting from any position would would be considered as the death of each faction and the death of the establishment?

That we wish groups closer to revolutionary values take the power is undoubtable and the polls of the interior ministry attest to that. But, when a situation happened that the opposite group doubted the election, why before sealing the results of the election with your approval, you didn't allow independent observers recount all the votes? When the Ministry of Interior can count the votes in less than 24 hours, why didn't recount be the first on the list of task force, instead of all the tension and blood spillage that ensued? In a situation that you do not want a large section of the supporters of the establishment be isolated from it, shouldn't appeasement have been given priority?

In conflicts, it is always expected of the wise party to control the situation. Worse came to worse, after the recount, the vote would have been annulled and a new election would have been held. Was an election worth breaking apart the society and the sacred Islamic Republic establishment?

From the onset of revolution, we have had several conflicts with the opponents of the establishment and the revolution and we have won at the end. But this time, we were not confronting the enemy but a large portion of the society whose ignoring, especially in Tehran, is as if we are a small island surrounded by a big sea. This is an abrasive situation, which will be exacerbated as heavy waves of this sea smash the shores of the island, making the situation more grave unless we seek a logical solution.

This is our question: why is the position of Supreme Leader spending such a heavy price for the winning of one of the candidates, while you had said that all four belonged to the family of establishment? In the extreme, someone like Mr Khatami would have taken the executive office [in Iran there are three independent bodies of government: Executive, Judiciary and Parliamentary; Of course the fourth one is the military which is independent of the three above and is directly under the supreme leader.] In a situation that you controlled him for 8 years, what did we fear in others who didn't even have Khatami's social stature?[!!! here's when Basij show its real face?!!?] Of course, this would have been the worse case scenario[!!!], because considering the care taken during the election, a total recount could have proven that you had not in vain insisted on the validity of the election.   

In any case, after a total recount, whether the election was validated or annulled [:) inha yeki be nal yeki be mikh mizanan!] your management would have become paramount. Your flexibility would not have diminished your principles but would have shown that Islamic governance is significantly different from oligarchic manners against which you had fought for a life. But the events unfolded otherwise and now, we who have spent part of our lives to promote the islamic revolution are having hard days and nights. We wish we had fallen in our blood during the sacred defense [referring to the war] but had not witnessed the falling in blood of those who came to election boots on your invitation, and even worse had not faced this heavy silence of a large portion of the society who is now in a destructive doubt about you and the Islamic establishment.

With wishes for salvage of Islamic Iran,

A group of veterans of the 8-year sacred defense

IMPORTANT: Grand Ayatollah Montazeri's Fatwa declares the supreme leader and the current government illegitimate

Source: Dr Kadivar's web site

According to Grand Ayatollah Montazeri, the current government and the supreme leader have proven themselves ineffective, unfair and dishonest. These acts remove their legitimacy and it is upon every muslim to seek the best (and least costly ways) of seeking justice and repairing the governing system.

Ayatollah Montazeri was supposed to be the successor of Khomeini, however one year before Khomeini's death their relations fell apart because 1) Montazeri got on Hashemi Rafsanjani's toe (revealing his link to Iran-contra) and 2) because he opposed Iran's training militia (in Lebanon) and objective of "exporting revolution" He had called for a RETURN to "revolutionary values" and he advocated freedom of political parties. In other words, he opposed the absolute powers of the "supreme leader" (a position that he himself was to occupy soon.) This made Khomeini fire him!!

In the same year, thousands of Mujahedin were silently executed in Evin Prison; and Ayatollah Montazeri was put under house arrest and banned from public appearance.

Because of his "ejtehaad" degree, many shiites follow him. Hence, the Hashemi/Khamenei axis of evil has so far been unsuccessful to get rid of him and fully silence him ...

===============

Update Jul 12: Tehran Bureau has now provided a full transcript of exchanged between Dr Kadivar and Ayatollah Montazeri.

Letter from a Basiji who defended Iran against Saddam to his son

This is my translation of a new poem by a well respected "Poet of War and Revolution", Abduljabbar Kakaee:

All these years I read poems, and wrote new songs for a war that was, for frail bodies in gray uniforms [refering to Basiji's uniform in the war], for my mother's peace under bomb rubble, for my father's agony in chaos of death. All these years, I read poems and wrote new songs for a sunshine that needed no witness.

When I returned from war, I hang my gray suit from the wall of memories and greeted live with a people whose being refreshed my soul. My name matured among theirs and grew. I cried with their tears and laughed with their smiles.

And today, you were innocent, next to me; and you were slapped by someone who was wearing my gray uniform. You were slapped in front of my shocked eyes, helpless and hopeless; and God who was your only friend saw that you, innocent, were slapped by an insect who had crawled into my uniform; the same that I had hung from the wall of memories.

And at that moment, I wished I had burned it after the war so that it didn't robe an affliction as this.

My son,

Do not question the frail bodies of those who fought in my dress many years ago. Do not doubt the heros of my stories. Do not question the bloodied rivers of Karoun and Arvand. Do not doubt the injured bodies in the passage of Chazabeh. Do not doubt the dusty bodies on Mehran plain. Only question the insect that has crawled into my uniform ...

By AbdolJabbar Kakayee. He is from the Ilam province, one of the frontlines of the Iran-Iraq war. He has published several books of poetry on the war. He worked for Iran's state run television up to three yeas ago. He is known as the "Poet of War and Revolution"; however he has been very critical of the cultural decay iran has been suffering under presidency of Mahmood Ahmadinejad. If anyone thinks Ahmadinejad is hated by "westernized Iranians", think TWICE, even THRICE!

این همه سال شعر خواندم و ترانه نوشتم برای جنگی که بود  برای تن های تکیده در لباسهای خاکستری برای آرامش مادرانم در آوار بمب  برای هیجان پدرانم در آشوب مرگ . این همه سال شعر خواندم و ترانه نوشتم برای آفتابی که بی نیاز از دلیل بود .

 

از جنگ که برگشتم پیراهن خاکستریم را آویختم به دیوار خاطرات و به زندگی با مردمی سلام گفتم که عطر شناسنامه هایشان در مشام جانم بود و اسمم در میان اسمهایشان بالید و کم کم بزرگ شد .با گریه هایشان گریستم و با خنده هایشان خندیدم .

و امروز کنار من بودی و بی گناه سیلی خوردی از کسی که لباس خاکستری مرا پوشیده بود مقابل چشم حیرت زده ی من سیلی خوردی در بی پناهی و ناچاری وخدایی که تنها دوستت بود دید که بی گناه سیلی خوردی از حشره ای که در لباس من خزیده بود همان لباسی که من به دیوار خاطراتم آویخته بودم.

و آن لحظه اندیشیدم کاش پس از جنگ سوزانده بودمش تا تنپوش بلایی چنین نمی شد.

پسرم

 به تن های تکیده ای که در لباس من سالهای پیش جنگیدند شک نکن . به قهرمانان قصه های من شک نکن . به رودخانه های خون آلود اروند و کارون شک نکن  به تن های مجروح تنگه ی چزابه شک نکن به بدنهای خاک آلود دشتهای مهران شک نکن  فقط  به حشره ای شک کن که در لباس من خزیده بود .

This is an open letter of a number of Basijis to Khamenei (the now-illegitimate supreme leader) protesting to his lack of fairness and judgement in crisis management that has led to discrediting all that the Islamic Republic of Iran stood for (I won't translate because it very much resonates with my views expressed in previous posts, and because I am exhausted.)

Brain Drain of Iranians ...

240 Iranian postgraduate students have recently written an open letter to condemn recent violence on peaceful protesters who were doing little but exercising their right to peaceful assembly guaranteed by Article 27 of Iran's constitution; and to demand 

1) prompt and unconditional end to violence against the Iranian people

2) prompt release of students and journalists

3) prosecution of those who violated student's dormitories by beating and killing several innocent students.

A large number of individuals who have signed these petition are Gold and Silver medalists in not only national but international Olympiads in Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry and Computer Sciences. I have prepared a chart, which I hope some of the "caring and loving!!!!" "brothers" of Mr Ahmadinejad's gang will see; and will realize what a HEAVY PRICE Iran will be paying for this brain-drain.

This list consists of mostly Physics and Engineering students; however there exists a large number of Iranian students training in medical and biological technologies. With all that has unfolded, these individuals are rethinking their desire to return home. Many more are packing to escape Iran. This is a heavy price, which I wished to prevent by voting for Mousavi ...

And these are NOT the police: they are the militia/special guards of Khamenei defaming Islam & threatening the Republic to create an Oligarchy

If any one is in doubt that Ahmadinejad's supported by a gang of goons take a look at this video. The gangsters (when Mosaddegh was overthrown, these criminal gangs were known as chomagh-be-dastan, i.e. baton-holders) are waving their batons and moving to the right. Then they target one car (it might be that the driver has honked the horn, or has made a remark to these savages.) Look how they start running after the little silver Peugeot 205, then listen to the sound of smashing glass, and through the branches see how they are vandalizing the car, on is standing on it. Then the woman behind camera whispers "they are beating them" ... pack of hyena ...

Police to the crowding people: I beg you, please go away, go have an icecream on my account!

Watch the below video carefully! It hasn't got gore and blood so it is unlikely to appear on the "liberating" media! (e.g. CNN)

listen to sounds and track the city in interaction. This will make you realize why there WON'T be a civil war in Iran!

Some crowd is gathering in this working middleclass neigborhood in mid West Tehran. The government has banned crowds of larger than four. (this has been the case for a long time but it is recently reinforced after the election.) A boy is roller skating. Cars are honking their horns. This is not an unusual sound in Tehran's traffic, but it sounds to me as if these horns are in solidarity with small and disperse crowds. Then a police truck comes. It announces on loudspeakers, with an uncle-ly voice:
"Go away kidos, I am humbly begging you to go away, go have an icecreame in the corner on my account, go away please."

The truck has barely passed that a few start chanting slogans. They are too few and the chanting stops. I doubt it stops because the big-bad police came back. I think it stops because it hasn't attracted other voices. And then, the boy who has been taping this comes home, announces on "balatarin.com" that he has such a video and after a couple of hours transmits this to us on YouTube.

You see? There IS "some" freedom in Iran! And when it is restricted, it can have several reasons. No government can stay on if it limits all communication and all freedom. It is because of the infrastructure put in place by the IRI mafia that we are receiving these images.

The men who are oppressing people are not doing it because they want a "theocracy". The Theocracy in Iran is a blanket to hide economic mafias.

But economic mafias NEED transportation infrastructure, need communication infrastructure, need safety and security, and EVENTUALLY need "LAWS" to protect them against eachother. This is the juncture at which our history is unravelling now! We are the collateral damage, to some extent. But it won't stay this way long. Nature operates in balance; and right now it is taking its course in Iran. 

... ONLY if the leaders of the coup circumvented a history that we have lived so repeatedly and did the right thing: CALLED to a new vote, and STOPPED arresting all these "foreign spies!!!", they would have come OUT victors ... perhaps it is not too late yet. I keep hoping.

These men will be responding to ANY USreal attack; for they are not afraid to die for Iran

People seem to be out, and heading towards China's Embassy!

Here, you can find news of how today looked like

One of the challenges presented to the IRI in the past few days has been this:

"Why isn't the IRI crying "murder" at Chinese authorities for killing Muslims?"

One blogger write:

"No to Zionism, Yes to Communism?"

The SMS service seems to be off; I will post info/pictures of what Tehran looks/sounds like today. Today is the 10th anniversary of another student uprising when the Basijis attacked Tehran U, killed one, and arrested and injured tens of others.

Has anyone heard Ahmadinejad or Khamenei of the Islamic Republic of Iran condemn China's massacre of its Muslim protester?!

I bet not!

and I bet you haven't heard that Mr Ahmadinejad's Minister of Oil is in China, handing over to them rights to Iran's wealth in exchange for participation in development of Oil refineries (for which the IRI will be paying, of course!) 

Oh yes yes Mr Ahmadinejad is a defender of the poor and what you see is just a class struggle because Mousavi wants to privatize the state; while Mr Ahmadinejad wants to keep it in the realm of his "untouchable" PUBLIC mafia!! 

What you should know about what is happening in Iran!

I'll make it simple!

1. Iranian women are fashionable and stylish, even under the veil! Wearing Gucci glasses doesn't imply this is a struggle between classes! Turkey has been supplying Iran with fake designer attire far before China democratized fashion!
2. The only party in this conflict who has been seeking "foreign approval" is Mr Ahmadinejad, who is 'subsidizing' the support he is forking out from Africa, China, Venezuela, Syria; and who is subjecting Iran to heavy taxation by Russia. It is THIS waste of Iran's resources that makes us hate him so! His international popularity comes at a cost! He gives free potato to buy the rural vote and  he gives free petrol to buy China and Russia's veto!   
3. Do not hold your breath, there will not be a regime change! And Khamenei will not be tried in any court until the judgement day when he meets his maker! But the IRI is changing in its very fabric; it is a change it has been undergoing in the past 10 years. It is steady progress.
4. What is happening in Iran will not escalate into a civil war! Iranians are a fun loving bunch and they try to find a way out of conflict and into normalcy! Iranians are also a tolerant bunch; even though they may sound passionate every now and again. If my Bahai friend finds Iran (even under Ahmadinejad) a better place to live than Germany, it should speak volumes to you in terms of what compassion and peaceful coexistence in Iran means!
5. These jailings and crackdowns, are not NEW and not shocking to people who are in Iran! We are shocked that the IRI has unveiled itself to the world so carelessly; but we always knew what's happening there!
6. Even the revolutionary guards and the Basijis are reformable! Know that many of the leaders of the movement today were the oppressors of yesterday!
7. Ahmadinejad seem to have learned his lesson! He is already prioritizing "social freedoms" in his agenda!!! In a country that the middle class is the largest portion of the society, a government has NO CHOICE but to accommodate their wishes. Cracks that are forming in the fabric of the IRI elite reflect their attention to the power of the masses!
8. Israel is not going to attack Iran; Iran knows it, Israel knows it too! I take Biden's remarks and Obama's later rebuttal of those more as what we call in persian "the goldsmith's fight", which is a staged conflict within the ranks of the same profession only to jack up the prices of their own commodity. Here, the Obama/Biden commodity is their wish to engage Iran diplomatically, but being put in this moral position vis a vis their own people who are appalled by the bloody images coming from Iran. 
9. Iran is a Muslim country! Even atheists in Iran are spiritual and act/do as muslims are supposed to act/do--which is to be fair, honest, clean, generous, selfless, brave! Shiisim is a revolutionary manifesto that Iran has subscribed to in its struggle for justice and freedom. This that you see on streets of Iran is indeed another "Islamic Revolution"! Secularism is not on the agenda of the Green Wave! Look, the most secular of us atheist Iranians are looking up to the power clergy hold over the masses to divest Ahmadinejad and his fascist supporters of power! 
10. I would be happy if street fights are stopping; this is a great opportunity for this young movement to sit back, evaluate itself, and think of its long term goals. No nation has been indefinitely oppressed by the police; and Iranians are too creative to be! This is a hope booster that is injected in lethargic soul of a depressive youth! This shall not turn into despair and I am so ever proud of the wisdom of my younger brothers and sisters who are acting so much smarter than my older ones who bestowed us with the IRI 30 years ago, and then got themselves killed (either in war or in prison) and exiled!   

Iranian Hip Hop: Brother, stop it, it's not time to kill butterflies ...

Quiet Revolution: Etekaf ... look at these rich and westernized anarchists who are protesting against Khamenei & Ahmadinejad's COUP!!!

E'tekaf is a form of protest! An expression of resignation from an unfixable world outside, into a self that can be cleansed by absorption in spirituality.

Iranians, whose vote is stolen, whose dignity's insulted, whose young men and women are imprisoned, have chosen to seek silence, and take refuge in mosques, without doing and saying anything but reciting Quoran! These are the images of he men and women that Ahmadinejad calls "khas o Khashak" (dust!), these are the images of Iranians who have been true supporters of Palestine, while not even ONE single pro-palestinian blogger has bothered to lend them sympathy, but worse, has accused them of neoliberalism, Westernizm, and naivete!

Iran’s biggest group of clerics has declared President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s re-election to be illegitimate and condemned the subsequent crackdown.

The statement by the Association of Researchers and Teachers of Qom is an act of defiance against the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has made clear he will tolerate no further challenges to Mr Ahmadinejad’s “victory” over Mir Hossein Mousavi.

“It’s a clerical mutiny,” said one Iranian analyst. “This is the first time ever you have all these big clerics openly challenging the leader’s decision.” Another, in Tehran, said: “We are seeing the birth of a new political front.”

By CounterPunch: The Iranian Uprising Green, But Not Velvet

Letter from the son of a jailed journalist Isa Saharkhiz to Ahmadinejad:

Issa [Eesa, Isa] Saharkiz is one of the most credited post-revolutionary journalists of Iran. His house was raided two weeks ago and he was in hiding, but today his son has twittered that  his father is violently arrested. 

Eesa Sharkhiz is one of the founders of the "Association of Freedom of Press" that awards journalists who have paid a price for defending freedom of speech. Here's his son's open letter to Ahmadinejad. Those who consider the Greens Western-puppets, take particular attention!!!

Ahmadinejad, if you know my father, you would learn honesty from him!

By Mehdi Saharkhiz

Ahmadinejad,

I call you only Ahmadinejad, because I have difficulty calling you "sir".

I have picked up pen to introduce my father to you. So you know who it is that you have jailed today.

First of all, I tell you that my father is a revolutionary. It was thanks to his service and other like him that the oppressive regime of "Taghoot" (i.e. Shah's Regime) ended so that a new chapter begin in our dear country. He spent all his life on obtaining and attaining the revolution.

Did you know that my uncle, my father's brother, was martyred in the [Iran-Iraq] war? It was thanks to my father and his comrades that an inch of this land didn't fall in the hands of the enemy. They risked their lives n the path of God and on the order of Imam so that this country do not become ruins. But neither knew that in future, the command of this country will fall in the hands of someone who hasn't the least respect for them and their sacrifices.

Did you know that when my father returned from the war, he put down his gun to pick up a pen to transfer the message of revolution to those who didn't know it. to my generation who was absent during the revolution, and during the war only sensed his long absences from home. He picked a pen such that this revolution move in the path of people's wishes and its leader.

Did you know that my father was the head of the Islamic Republic's News Agency (IRNA) in the United Nations?

Did you know that my father was the chairman of the Internal Press in the Ministry of Guidance and Islamic Culture?

I wish you knew my father, so he taught you honesty. I wish you knew him so you learned lessons in dignity, service and sacrifice.

My father is a defender of Muhammad's Islam, but you are a defender of your own profits! He has dedicated a lifetime to defend the republican basis of the regime. He wants the world to know that in IRan, people's vote is sacred, so sacred and valuable that if necessary one must die for it. He is trying that in Iran a religious rule of people be established, but you and your accomplices are wasting people's struggles and sacrifices for your worldly profits.

after many years, I have now been able to see your famous "halo" [Ahmadinejad is on vide tape, explaining to some Mullahs that when he gave his first speech in the UN a sacred halo surrounded him and the audience was captured to that light radiating around him!!!]. But unlike your claims, it wasn't a halo of light, but a halo of lies, deception, accusations, hypocrisy, injustice, and foolish populism! I know that in front of a mirror you are proud of yourself, but I am sure that even the mirror hates you!

Ahmadinejad, know that just as the history has judged our forefathers, it will judge you and my father too. Lucklily, your oppressive and censoring hand can no longer hide the truth. [The history] will know you as someone who cheated on people to keep his position, and sacrificed revolutionaries such as Abtahi, Taj Zadeh, Mir Damadi and many others. Know that his post will not bring you any respect.

"When the thorns were growing on the wall, I knew that a lowlife doesn't become elated by such a raise!"   

IRI's response to people calling "God is Great" on their roof tops: shooting children!!

Please see the previous posts as well; and please be watchful of two groups in the mainstream media of your countries:

(1) The leftist liberals who consider this a "Western and Zionist" plot to do "regime change" in Iran. (They are often pro-palestinians and are foolish enough to believe IRI is a defender of Palestine and Lebanon!)

(2) The rightist conservatives who think this justifies military action against Iran! (They are often neo-conservatives or zionists who are enjoying this and are trying to glue themselves to the Green revolution of Iran only to discredit it. Among these are also some Iranians who run the CIA funded Los Angeles Iranian media!)

These two groups are just as harmful to Iran as are the fascists who have hijacked Iran! In fact, these two above mentioned groups are WHY Iran's revolution is hijacked and dragged to the mud as it is now!

Those who are suffering in Iran today are demanding nothing other than their human rights, their rights to political and social expression, their rights to peaceful protest, their rights to accountable elections.

Stand in solidarity with us and help the two groups of enemies mentioned above, who are free to operate within your free press and society KNOW that you are not fooled by either!

I am dismayed by the so called "pro-palestinian intellectuals" who are condoning the crimes of the IRI,

and who call the anger that has mobilized the Iranian intellectuals AGAINST the tyranny, a "Western plot"!

I suggest they excuse themselves and their Middle East expertise from waxing intellectual on Iran! I also ask them to take a good look at the images which are coming out of Iran and tell me how exactly is the savagery of the Iranian government any different from the savagery of Israel in Gaza?!

Mousavi's moto was something like this: "you cannot call yourselves champion of the dignity in Gaza when you are denying the dignity of Iranians." (what about this is pro-Western?!)

Anyone who thinks Mousavi is a pro-western or westernized opportunist who is looking to the western support in this, needs to educate himself/herself by reading HIS statements, rather than by DEDUCING a logic from "which neo-con or which Zionist is cheering Mousavi on!"

For your information: Mousavi doesn't give a damn who is cheering him from abroad! Has he ever ASKED any foreign power to HELP?? Show me evidence that he has. In fact the only one who seem to have been seeking foreign approval is Ahmadinejad! Guess who has been cheering him on? Russia!!

In fact, Mousavi has stated OFTEN that he is not the LEADER, rather he is the FOLLOWER of the people's wish! Keep in mind that it is the people who are dragging him along and are forcing him to "resist", no the other way around! He has also continuously warned that the "foreign enemies" are trying to take advantage of this situation! But I guess you have been too busy reading what Zionists say about Iran to have noticed that!! Go to the source; many of us are doing our utmost to provide translations; and many of us who do so, have not just popped up ... (Remember, neo-resistance was created to fight neo-con and zionist disinformation against Iran in 2006!)

Mousavi has been telling people to stay home, it is they who have said "no way"!

Mousavi has been trying to get "permits to protest", people have defied his wish and have drenched in cold blood facing hot bullets!

Today, the West is busy with Health care and with Michael Jackson; but the fight for freedom goes on in Iran.

No, it is not the freedom of dress, but the freedom of press that we are after!

They are not jailing gigolos, they are jailing journalists!

How is it that you go all hoohaa if Zionists control the Western press but you overlook it when a government is jailing, torturing and intimidating Iranian reporters?! Where is your moral anchor?!!

You condemn the mainstream media in the west for spreading hateful propaganda, but you are ignoring it when the Iranian state-controlled media are spreading lies and hatred and invoke violence but cowardly blame it on the victims of the violence?! What is your "intellectual" stance on this?!

Do not you compare anything of Iran's movement to that in Lebanon, or in Egypt ... Also, don't you conflate Iran's problems with those of the Middle East!

Arab-Israeli problems are really not ours, not part of hour historical discourse! No one in Iran has any visceral hatred for Israelis or a visceral love for Arabs! If Iranians like Arabs, its because of common religion, and if they like Israelis its because of common disdain for Arabs ... and that is a historical and cultural sentiment, not a geopolitical one! And that too is paradoxical like many other things in Iran.

BUT, We do not run our elections on a "Middle East peace process" platform! We seek economic, cultural and political clarity in the acts of our governments, which we wish aligned with OUR national interests.

Furthermore, be informed that we do not take any pride in having been educated in French or American universities! The best Iranian universities are not run by American and French missionaries (as they are in Lebanon or Egypt), and this generation who is fighting against dictatorship is not the one who has grown pampered in Western delights!! I doubt if Mousavi even speaks a second language!

We have been in this fight for over a century and the west has sure tried to milk it to its advantage. But at this particular instance, by calling Mousavi a western puppet, you are standing on the wrong side of the history: you are standing with the Zionists and the Imperialists who NEED Ahmadinejad to justify them!!

This is how Tehran sounds at night

And what is pi$$ing the "security" guards off is that much of it is happening in the poorer South Tehran!

How does European's care for Iranians in DANGER of IRI's Human Right's abuse look like?

This is an email response to a journalist and political activist (who happens to be a medical doctor) with a death sentence hovering over his head!

Dear Dr. X,

 

The Embassy would like to emphasize that we consider your mail as a request for general information, and not as an application for asylum. In order to apply for asylum in X you must be in X or at the Xian border. 

 [did you know airlines do not fly anyone to an Xian border UNLESS proof of proper entry visa is provided?]

Refugees outside of Europe are requested to ask for protection from the UNHCR.

 

An application for asylum/resettlement should preferably be forwarded through the United Nation High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).

 

We are sorry to hear about your situation. However, immigration to X has been restricted since 1975, and permit to stay is only granted under certain circumstances. The process of receiving refugees in X is primarily based on collaboration with the UNHCR and their refugee quota programme. Thus, in order to be accepted as a quota refugee, an application must be submitted and recommended by the UNHCR. Please note, however, that a recommendation from the UNHCR does not automatically result in an entry permit to X . Each case will be considered according to the criteria for selection of refugees under the annual refugee quota.

 

For further information please see the Xian Directorate of Immigration's web page:http://blahblah

 

You may alternatively be granted a work permit in X under the condition that you have been offered a job in a Xian firm. For more information on Visa procedures, please refer to http://www.blahblah

[Simply DISGUSTING!]

Look at this beautiful artist's view on the "other"

PLEASE ACT BY CONTACTING THE MINISTERS OF IMMIGRATION AND FOREIGN AFFAIRS OF YOUR COUNTRY: The lives of these individuals are in danger!

Thousands of young Iranian activists are imprisoned. Many of those imprisoned have been injured and dragged out of hospitals to incarceration.

PLEASE ACT BY WRITING TO YOUR COUNTRY'S EMBASSIES AND the DEPARTMENTS OF IMMIGRATION AND REFUGEE AFFAIRS IN YOUR COUNTRY!

(you can also help me by posting in the comment section the contact information you find in the comment section.)

I have been trying to save a friend of mine who was hiding in Iraq, but Canadian, Norwegian, and American offices have turned him away. Given that he is from a religious minority, he has a death sentence waiting for him, but faced with the humiliation of the COLD bureaucracy of our Human-Right-Defending Western countries, he prefered to go back and at least see his wife and two young children, before being assassinated in Iraq. (We have decided keep his name private, unless he is arrested!)

But there are plenty others who do not have "journalistic or academic credentials" that would make their execution a case of bad PR for the IRI! So PLEASE ACT and have your countries take refugee cases seriously and have professionals handle calls to asylum!

Here are some of the names, ages, all arrested after the first demonstration against the election fraud (source: http://www.iran-emrooz.net/index.php?%2Fnews2%2F18623%2F
) They are now TRANSFERRED TO EVIN PRISON, this means they were not intimidated properly in the police station and may face torture or "accidental" execution (like Zahra Kazemi)! PLEASE ACT!

(with every post, I am thinking of the book "The Blood of Others", I just pray my genuine wish to help will not get any of these individuals in trouble; but i don't know any of them personally, so whichever Evin interrogator might be going to use this as an evidence of foreign involvement, I suggest to them to go look in the mirror and repent! I am doing what any concerned human would do to prevent further bloodshed. This is something humanity stands for, UNITED, unless the governments and the media distort the facts and realities and hide them from humanity! The charge of foreign plot is now a boring cliche!

Parts of Abbas Milani's interview with Zamane

A few highlights from Abbas Milani’s interview with Zamaneh.

“The fault line that has existed between the people and the regime in the past 30 years has now become obvious. There is also the second crack, which is between different factions of this regime. These two fault lines have met at this post-election juncture of Ahmadinejad’s fraudulent election and a great storm has resulted. The end is not clear yet.”

On role of technology:

“On the one hand, the type of technology that the Iranian movement is using today is modern, but on the other hand this is a historical recurrence. In Iran we have had three large movements in the 20^th century: Constitutional Revolution, Islamic Revolution, and now the Third Wave. In all three, the people have been one step ahead of the despot in using the technology.

During the Constitutional revolution the [Quajar] regime controlled preachers, neighborhoods and coffee houses [19^th century], but people took advantage of the print and newspaper industries that had just arrived to Iran.

During the Islamic revolution the Shah [Pahlavi] controlled television and had assigned member of Savak [the security and intelligence agency] as editor in chiefs of all major newspapers, but Mr Khomeini used tapes.

And now, the regime thinks it owns the TV and Radio, and that it controls internet, it buys spying devices from china and from San Jose, but people’s collective wisdom is always one step ahead of the wisdom and technology of the despots. Just because of that, our world is today a smaller one, and a tech in Singapore can screw the [IRI’s] Ministry of Intelligence and its Made in China filtering devices.

On differences of Iran from its neighboring countries in terms of fundamentalism and Talibanism:  

“Iran is different because Iran has been ahead of its neighbors in the past century. All movements in the Middle East have been initiated from Iran: from constitutional revolution to Islamic revolution and now the revolt of the youth that is likely to spread elsewhere. But we have fundamentalist Shiism as well. The thinkings of Mr Mesbah, who is Mr Hamadinejad’s mentor, are nothing less than Taliban’s. His animosity with democracy is as strong as Taliban’s. His superstitions are as superstitious as any Sunni fundamentalist, although the fundamentalist movements have begun with the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt.

However, in terms of its social and economic growth, rate of education, the size of the middle class, the number of those who travel abroad, it is far ahead of many other countries. In Iran, with 70 million population, more than 22 million work with computers, there are 550,000 Iranian bloggers, last year 6000 book titles are published, while in all of the Arab countries, only 1200 titles were published.”

 

On the role of Americans in this movement:

“Five months ago, in Boston Review, I explained that the Democratic movement in Iran needs the help of the American Citizens more than the help of the American governmet. Technical help, Knowledge help, translation of their works, and making life hell for Ahmadinejad when he comes to the US.”

“America has to stay away from internal affairs of Iran. Showing sympathy, as much as possible, which is what Obama has done. But in current situation, what more can Obama do? Many of those who are criticizing Obama are those for whose ignorance, and paranoia and their excessive speeches have forced Obama to be more cautious nouw. When Mr McCain sang, “Bomb, Bomb, Bomb” and  joked about bombing Iran, created an anti-American atmosphere that forces Obama to be more cautious to diffuse those sentiments. Those who wreaked these havocs in Iran, announced that they will give 5 million dollars [to advance democracy in Iran] and only those who had no sense of democracy, and only followed the scent of money went after that cash.

Which Iranian democrat accepted that 5 million dollars? But with that 5 million dollars they defamed all of democracy activists of Iran. It is these people who are now criticizing Obama for not participating more actively and more explicitly. […] If America wants to help Iranian’s movement, it is best to stay out of it.”

On differences of the new generation and the past intellectuals/revolutionaries:

“Our generation was one that saw in terms of black and white. This generation is taking advantage of any crack in the regime, take advantage of any instance when they can express themselves. Essentially, they have no ideological belonging. In a sense to have a pre-constructed universe to which they want to fit their world. They face the world as it unravels.”

(I am at the airport and my internet will soon run out of charge!, will post the reference later.)

Ayatollah Taleghani was a GREAT leader of revolution (more respected than Khomeini): he predicted what kind of a despot Iran will have! Subtitled.

Statement by Dr Arash Hejazi who witnessed Neda's death and is now threatened by the government for being a conspirator in her death!!!!!!!!

Original: http://ahejazi.persianblog.ir/post/86
Title: A Note for Future Generations
Translation: Naj

’My fear, is just of dying in a land, where the wage of an undertaker is higher than the price of a man’s liberty." (Ahmad Shamlu)

After my interview with the BBC (June 25, 2009) concerning my personal observations of the savage killing of Neda Agha Soltan, the news headlines have indicated that my arrest warrant had been issued by the Iranian government. As I stated in the interview, such an act of repression to hide their heinous crimes was not unexpected from a government that is founded on the basis of lies and injustice. In this interview, I anticipated that they will [deny] my statements; that they will point several accusations at me. This government is so obsessed with hiding its incompetence in finding and prosecuting the main actors in the death of this poor girl, that it is trying to lay the blame on any individual, organization or country that has had nothing to do with this.

They have been pressuring my family and friends in Iran—who have no relation to this matter. My father, a 70 years old emeritus university professor has been summoned without having any role in any of these matters.

I just did what any honorable human would have done in similar situation: to save a victim and to express and testify the realities when the government’s media were distorting the truth.

I have always lived to suffer no regrets. I was among the first medicines who rushed to Bam in the aftermath of the devastating earthquake, just to be near victims who were about to loose all hope.

This time, my proximity to this victim was accidental and I didn’t foresee entering the events that ensued. But this time, it wasn’t the nature claiming a victim, but the greed of power had wasted her blood.

I am a writer too and if you read my stories, articles and prose, you would realize that I have always defended the human rights and I have always paid the price.

I have tried to live an honest and honorable life, I have never betrayed my values.

I am confident that in what I did to save Neda, and in the later recounting the events, I did the right thing. I believe God is the lord of the brave. I have faith that truth will emancipate us. I acted according to my conscience, and if I have to pay a price for that, so be it. But I have a right to defend my honor and dignity.

God be my witness that I have said only the truth of my observations.

The Islamic revolution and the Islamic republic were founded on a principle to which people have remained committed. In the battle against the past despotic regime, also during the war with a dictator who ran Iraq with and iron fist, it was this faith that mobilized people to defend their country with their blood.

But, these lies discredit all claims of this particular government: this government that perjures the WWII history, that claims freedom of speech is granted in Iran, that claims there are no political prisoners incarcerated in Iran, that claims there is no censorship in books, information, media, and press; and pretends to respect civic rights such as the right to peaceful assembly, right to protest, right to equality irrespective of gender, religion and ethnicity.

In the past 20 days, the world has witnessed the falsehood of all these claims in the teary eyes of the courageous Iranians. I am sure that the world will not believe this new lie and will know that a physician, a writer and a publisher has done nothing but acting conscientiously in rushing to help someone in need, and retelling the truth.

Neda was not the only fallen individual in these events. Have all those innocent killed in these events victims of a global conspiracy? Why aren’t the killers of other victims prosecuted? Or could it be the insolence and incompetence of the armed militia who could not tolerate the lawful and thoughtful protest of their fellow Iranians to injustice?

I am but a witness. Why should a witness be prosecuted instead of a murderer? Has not enough blood been shed? Should I have remained silent in the face of this horrendous crime? Is this the message that we are leaving for our future generation?

I am confident that no world citizen will abandon supporting me and thousands of my fellow Iranians who were beaten, imprisoned, chased and dragged to ground and to blood, just because they wanted to be a free nation joining the path of justice and prosperity of the world such as to share with others their rich culture and their courageous history.

I am proud to be part of this movement. What I have done, any man of honor would have done. This is why I am threatened. All these martyrs did what any free man would have done. this is why they are killed, by the dark hand of the hatred for all which these martyrs stood for: Liberty, Honesty, Justice.

Arash Hejazi, July 2, 2009

This is for Persian readers: a detailed list of Ahmadinejad's abuse of power in the election.

Sorry non-Persian folks, this report is just detailing much of what has been said repeatedly. It is reflective of Ahmadinejad's abusing his governmental privileges to run an election campaign. this is against the Iranian law. It is also detailing the double standards used in vetting candidates. Others with half of Ahmadinejad's flaws of character and manner would have been excluded from the guardian council's list of approved candidates. Over all, this report can be summarized in this cartoon:

تبليغات غيرقانوني با استفاده از منابع و امكانات دولتي و عمومي

انجام هر گونه فعاليت تبليغاتي » : -1 به موجب ماده ( 68 ) قانون انتخابات رياست جمهوري اسلامي ايران

از تاريخ اعلام رسمي اسامي نامزدها له يا عليه نامزدهاي رياست جمهوري از ميز خطابه نماز جمعه و يا هر

وسيله ديگري كه جنبه رسمي و دولتي دارد و فعاليت كارمندان در ساعات اداري و همچنين استفاده از وسايل

و ساير امكانات وزارتخانه ها و ادارات، شركت هاي دولتي و موسسات وابسته به دولت و نهادها و مؤسساتي كه

از بودجه عمومي (به هر مقدار) استفاده مي كنند و همچنين در اختيار گذاشتن وسايل و امكانات مزبور ممنوع

ادارات و سازمان ها و ارگان هاي دولتي و نهادها و اعضاي » همچنين «. بوده و مرتكب، مجرم شناخته م يشود

آنها با ذكر سمت خود حق ندارند له و عليه هيچ يك از نامزدهاي انتخاباتي اعلاميه، اطلاعيه و پلاكارد

« بدهند

-2 متأسفانه در اين انتخابات شاهد نقض صريح، گسترده و جسورانه ماده ( 68 ) قانون انتخابات و استفاده

وسيع از امكانات دولتي و منابع عمومي و مداخله آشكار تعداد زيادي از اعضاي دولت، مديران ارشد، استانداران

و مديران اجرايي به نفع نامزد حاكم بوديم.

-2/1 در اكثر سفرهاي تبليغاتي انجام يافته توسط آقاي احمدي نژاد از امكانات دولتي استفاده گرديده و به

ويژه استانداران در جمع آوري مدعوين از ميان كاركنان دولت، مدارس، كارخانجات، اعضاي شوراهاي اسلامي

و امثال آنها از اختيارات خود سو ءاستفاده كرد هاند.

-2/2 در سفر آقاي احمدي نژاد به اروميه، تبريز، اردبيل و اصفهان از هواپيماي اختصاصي دولت استفاده

شد.

-2/3 بسيج كليه استانداران و فرمانداران و تشكيل جلسات متعدد در مراكز بخ شها و دهستان ها به عنوان

رسيدگي به مشكلات و بيان عملكردها و تشويق روستائيان به رأي به آقاي احمد ينژاد از جمله سو ءاستفاده ها

از ا ختيارات و امكانات دولتي به نفع كانديداي خاص بوده است.

-2/4 از ديگر موارد نقض ماده ( 68 ) قانون انتخابات، سفر اعضاي هيأت دولت به منظور انجام تبليغات به

نفع رئيس دولت و استفاده از امكانات دولتي در اين سفرها بوده است. در اين زمينه م يتوان به سفر آقاي

پرويز داودي معاون اول رئيس جمهور، آقاي سعيدلو معاون اجرايي رئي سجمهور و تعدادي ديگر از مديران

دولتي به استان هاي اردبيل و آذربايجان غربي اشاره كرد. همچنين سفرها و سخنراني هاي آقاي متكي وزير

امور خارجه به شهرستا نهاي مختلف از جمله زنجان، سمنان، ايلام، سنقر و . . . . از اين قبيل موارد بوده

است. همچنين در اين زمينه مي توان به سفر و سخنراني وزير راه و ترابري و افتتاح نمايشي و زودهنگام

راه آهن اصفهان – شيراز و بم – زاهدان اشاره كرد. سفرهاي تبليغاتي وزراي ديگري نظير وزير بهداشت و

درمان، صنايع و رفاه را نيز بايد بر اين فهرست افزود.

3

-2/5 مجامع تبليغاتي سطوح مختلف مديران دولتي از جمله استانداران، معاونان استانداران، فرمانداران،

مديران ارشد دستگا ههاي دولتي، رؤساي ادارات و . . . كه در اين مجامع با استفاده از امكانات عمومي و دولتي

ضمن انجام سخنراني و تبليغات به نفع آقاي احمدي نژاد مواد تبليغي مربوط به ايشان به وفور در اختيار مديران

گذاشته شده و بعضا هدايايي نيز به مديران داده شده است.

-2/6 تلاش گسترده بسياري از مقامات و مسؤلان دولتي با بهره گيري از امكانات عمومي به سود آقاي

احمدي نژاد كه به طور علني و در منظر عموم انجام مي شد و سكوت مسؤلان نظارت در قبال آن شائبه

اراده اي ناپيدا براي انتخاب مجدد آقاي احمد ينژاد را جدي تر مي نمود به طوري كه در محافل مردمي به

فراواني شنيده مي شد كه همه تلاشي كه مردم مي كنند بي نتيجه است و تصميم از قبل گرفته شده و آقاي

احمدي نژاد به عنوان فرد منتخب اعلام خواهد شد. اين موضوع با نقل مواردي منتسب به مقام معظم رهبري

نيز تشديد م يگرديد كه البته خود در سخنراني تكذيب نمودند اما تلاش يكپارچه دولت يها به عنوان سند

درستي آن مورد استدلال قرار م يگرفت.

-2/7 حضور بسيج نيروهاي ادارات و آموزش و پرورش گاهي با حكم مأموريت و برخورداري از فوق العاده

مأموريت براي شركت در مراسم استقبال از كانديداي خاص.

-2/8 افتتاح پروژه هاي عمراني در دوره مشخص شده براي فعاليت انتخاباتي و استفاده از اين اقدام جهت

تبليغ نامزد حاكم.

-3 عدم رعايت بيطرفي صدا و سيما و بكارگيري امكانات رسانه اي استفاده كننده از بودج ههاي عمومي و

دولتي از موارد مهم نقض قانون در اين انتخابات بود.

-3/1 تخلفات متعدد و گسترده صدا و سيما در جريان تبليغات انتخاباتي كه منجر به تذكر شوراي

سرپرستي صدا و سيما و سازمان بازرسي كل كشور گرديد.

-3/2 جانبداري كامل روزنامه هاي كيهان، ايران، جوان و بسياري از نشريات دولتي و نيز خبرگزاري هاي

دولتي مانند ايرانا، برنا، فارس، پانا و . . . از نامزد حاكم كه منجر به تذكر كتبي سازمان بازرسي كل كشور شد.

-3/3 استفاده از صدا و سيما چه پيش از شروع تبليغات رسمي و چه بعد از آن به نفع يك كانديداي خاص

كه ما در اين مورد، حضور و اقدام جمعي از كارشناسان برجسته و مستقل در يك هيأت حقيق تياب را طلب

مي كنيم تا اين تبليغات را بررسي كرده و مشخص نمايد تا چه اندازه به طور غيرعادلانه براي پيروزي يك نفر

از اين رسانه دولتي استفاده شده است.

تطميع و خريد رأي

-1 به موجب ماده ( 25 ) قانون انتخابات رياست جمهوري اسلامي ايران، "آرايي كه از طريق خريد و

( فروش به دست آمده باشد" باطل ولي جزء آراي مأخوذه محسوب مي گردد. همچنين براساس ماده ( 33

همين قانون، "تهديد يا تطميع در امر انتخابات" جرم محسوب شده و "چنانچه وقوع جرايم مندرج در ماده

فوق موجب گردد كه جريان انتخابات در يك يا چند شعبه ثب تنام و اخذ رأي از مسير قانوني خود خارج شود و

4

در نتيجه كلي انتخابات مؤثر باشد مراتب وسيله وزارت كشور به منظور طرح در شوراي نگهبان به هيأت

مركزي نظارت اعلام مي گردد"

-2 آقاي احمدي نژاد با استفاده از بودجه عمومي و منابع دولتي در آستانه انتخابات با هدف تطميع و

خريد رأي به اقدامات ذيل پرداخته است:

-2/1 پرداخت 80 هزار تومان سود به عنوان سود سهام عدالت به شش از چهار ميليون و پانصد هزار نفر

تحت پوشش نهادهاي حمايتي (كميته امداد، سازمان بهزيستي و رزمندگان) و بيش از 5 ميليون و دويست

هزار نفر روستايي كه جمعا داراي حدود شش ميليون و هشتصد هزار رأي دهنده بوده اند.

1 سال توقف و پرداخت اضافه حقوق هاي / -2/2 اجراي عجولانه قانون مديريت خدمات كشوري بعد از 5

ناشي از آن در ايام تبليغات انتخاباتي.

-2/3 اعمال افزايش حقوق بازنشستگان تأمين اجتماعي در آستانه انتخابات.

-2/4 پرداخت كم كهاي نقدي همزمان با ايام تبليغات انتخاباتي به كساني كه در جريان سفرهاي استاني

هيأت دولت نام ههاي درخواست كمك داده بودند.

-2/5 پرداخت هاي نقدي، سكه، بن و امثال آن به گروه هاي مختلف اجتماعي نظير پرستاران، دانشجويان،

اعضاي شوراهاي اسلامي روستايي، برخي از مديران و كاركنان دولت و . . .

-2/6 توزيع سيب زميني مجاني در نقاط مختلف كشور

-2/7 توزيع بن 60 تا 80 هزار توماني دو سه روز قبل از رأ يگيري بين روستائيان.

-2/8 توزيع پول توسط فرمانداري ها و كميته امداد به ويژه در روستاها.

-2/9 توزيع برنج، آرد، روغن و . . . به ويژه در مناطق محروم و دعوت به دادن رأي به آقاي احمد ينژاد.

تخلفات و اعمال مجرمانه شخص آقاي احمدي نژاد

-1 برمبناي اصل يكصد و شانزدهم قانون اساسي جمهوري اسلامي ايران و همچنين ماده ( 35 ) قانون

داراي حسن سابقه و امانت و » انتخابات رياست جمهوري اسلامي ايران، نامزدهاي رياست جمهوري بايد

باشند. همچنين به موجب اصل يكصد و سيزدهم قانون اساسي، رئيس جمهور مسئوليت اجراي قانون « تقوي

اساسي و رياست قوه مجريه را جز در اموري كه مستقيما به رهبري مربوط م يشود برعهده دارد. به موجب

اصل يكصد و بيست و يكم نيز رئيس جمهور در مجلس شوراي اسلامي، سوگند ياد مي كند كه پاسدار قانون

اساسي كشور باشد، خود را وقف ترويج دين و اخلاق سازد و از هر گونه خودكامگي بپرهيزد و از آزادگي و

حرمت اشخاص و حقوقي كه قانون اساسي براي ملت شناخته است حمايت كند.

-2 در ايام تبليغات انتخابات، خصوصا در مناظره و مصاحبه هاي تلويزيوني آقاي احمدي نژاد اتهامات

بزرگي را عليه بعضي از افراد و شخصيت ها در غياب ايشان و بدون داشتن حق دفاع مطرح كرد كه بنا به

اظهار صريح رياس ت محترم قوه قضاييه و دادستان محترم كل كشور، مصاديق روشن عمل مجرمانه بوده

است. اين اتهامات به شيو هاي غيراخلاقي و ناچسب خوراك اصلي تبليغات انتخاباتي آقاي احمدي نژاد عليه

5

ساير نامزدها خصوصا آقاي موسوي قرار گرفت كه اساسا م يتوانست موجب تغيير جهت آراء باشد كه از دلايل

ابطال انتخابات در قانون شمرده شده است. جمعي از علماي بزرگ ديني نيز غير شرعي بودن اين اقدام را

اعلام كردند. آقاي احمدي نژاد در وقت اضافي اهدايي صدا و سيما به ايشان نيز بعد از تذكر مقام معظم

رهبري (آن طور كه خود در نمازجمعه فرمودند) ضمن اصرار بر مطالب گفته شده قبلي اتهامات جديدي نيز بر

موارد قبلي افزود.

-3 در برنامه هاي تبليغاتي تلويزيوني و مناظره ها و ساير تبليغات آقاي احمدي نژاد ده ها مورد بيان مطالب

بود كه « امانت و تقوي » نادرست و آمار و ارقام غيرواقعي و دروغ هايي بين ديده شد كه مصداق قطعي سقوط

از جمله شرايط صلاحيت نامزدهاي رياس تجمهوري مطابق قانون است.

-4 آقاي احمدي نژاد در مناظره هاي تلويزيوني با متهم كردن دولت جمهوري اسلامي و وزارت كشور به

سازماندهي اوباش براي حمله به جوانان و مردم و بريدن كراوات ها و تراشيدن موي سر جوانان اتهاماتي واهي

را طرح كرد كه در هيچ مرجع قضايي مورد رسيدگي قرار نگرفته و بديهي است كه عملي مجرمانه محسوب

مي شود.

-5 جاي تعجب است كه شوراي نگهبان صدها نفر نامزد انتخابات مجلس را به بهان ههاي اندك رد

صلاحيت كرده يا نتيجه انتخابات را با معاذيري مانند تطميع (مثلا با استناد به يك وعده غذا دادن) باطل

كرده است و خود را ذيحق م يداند كه در هر مرحله از انتخابات اگر لازم ديد در رأي خود تجديدنظر يا از

طريق ابطال انتخابات يا صندو قها به اصطلاح رفع اثر از تخلفات نمايد ولي در مقابل اين جرايم، نقص اصول

ياد شده قانون اساسي و سقوط شرط امانت و تقوي سكوت كرد در حالي كه مطابق ماده ( 58 ) قانون انتخابات

رياست جمهوري موظف بود عدم صلاحيت آقاي احمدي نژاد را اعلام نمايد.

سازماندهي يكپارچه و بسته وزارت كشور، ستاد انتخابات كشور و هيأت هاي اجرايي

-1 از جمله شواهد و قرائن مهندسي يكپارچه آراء در انتخابات رياست جمهوري، سازماندهي يكپارچه و

قرنطينه اي ساختار وزارت كشور تا پايي نترين سطوح، ستاد انتخابات كشور و هيأ تهاي اجرايي بوده است.

1.1 . انتخاب رفيق و همكار قديمي، نزدي كترين مشاور، يار متعصب و رئيس ستاد انتخاباتي

آقاي احمدي نژاد در انتخابات رياست جمهوري سال 84 به عنوان وزير كشور.

1.2 . انتخاب يكي از ياران متعصب و فعال ترين عناصر ستاد انتخاباتي آقاي احمدي نژاد در

انتخابات رياست جمهوري سال 84 به عنوان رئيس ستاد انتخابات كشور.

1.3 . مهره چيني وسيع استانداران، فرمانداران، بخشداران و ... در طي چهار سال گذشته و

تغييرات مداوم آنها در اين جهت به نحوي كه در آستانه انتخابات 25 استاندار نظامي داشتيم.

1.4 . جانبداري آشكار وزير كشور و رئيس ستاد انتخابات كشور از رئيس دولت نهم در رسانه ها

در آستانه انتخابات.

6

1.5 . يكدستي تمام عيار مديران سياسي و انتخاباتي در سلسله مراتب ستاد و صف وزارت كشور

و حذف تمامي مديران با سابقه اين حوزه ضريب تباني و تقلب در انتخابات را افزايش داده است. كليه

استانداران، فرمانداران، بخشداران و اعضاي هيأت هاي اجرايي و بازرسي انتخابات داراي تفكر سياسي و

جناحي يكساني در حمايت از آقاي احمدي نژاد بوده اند.

1.6 . تغيير يكباره تمامي كاركنان و كارشناسان دفتر انتخابات وزارت كشور و جايگزيني افرادي

خارج از وزارت كشور به جاي آنان.

1.7 . تغيير عوامل سايت شمارش آراي وزارت كشور.

1.8 . يكدستي كامل اعضاي هيأت هاي اجرايي بطوري كه حتي معتمدي كه بايد توسط شوراي

شهرستان و بخش انتخاب و معرفي شود نيز به استناد نظر ناصواب آقاي كدخدايي بايد گزينش شوراي

نگهبان را طي م يكرد.

1.9 . اين يكدستي حتي به اعضاي شعبه هاي اخذ رأي هم كشيد و تا آنجا كه مي شد و توانستند

تلقي شوند حذف شدند برعكس در موارد زيادي از فعالان « نامحرم » افرادي را بشناسند كه ممكن است

ستادهاي آقاي احمدي نژاد در اجراي انتخابات كار گرفته شدند.

-2 تصفيه و يكپارچه سازي پرسنلي در كنار ايجاد فضاي قرنطينه اي، غيرشفاف و امنيتي در ستاد

انتخابات كشور يكي از مصاديق آشكار خروج متوليان از ب يطرفي و مهيا نمودن شرايط قرار گرفتن آنان در

مظان اتهام مديريت و مهندسي فرايند انتخابات به شمار م يرود.

2.1 . علي رغم چند بار درخواست، وزير كشور حتي يك جلسه با نمايندگان ستادهاي انتخاباتي

نگذاشت.

2.2 . در موارد بسيار در پاسخ تماس آقاي احمدي رابط ستاد مهندس موسوي براي طرح مسائل

انتخاباتي، گفته مي شد مسئولان در بيرون از وزارتخانه جلسه دارند!! اين موضوع در كنار خبرهايي

مبتني بر تشكيل جلساتي در خارج از وزارت كشور در كميت هاي با حضور افرادي كه قانونا سمتي در

انتخابات ندارند خصوصا پس از رسيدن آراي آقاي مهندس موسوي به بالاي 50 درصد در نظرسنجي ها

به اين شائبه دامن مي زند.

2.3 . به لطايف الحيل، از جمله استناد به نامه آقاي كدخدايي كه اعتبار قانوني ندارد، از ورود

نمايندگان نامزدها به جلسات هيأت هاي اجرايي، برخلاف نص صريح قانون و آيين نامه اجرايي مصوب

دولت ممانعت شد.

2.4 . ايجاد سيستمي بسته و محدود به چند فرد خاص از دستگاههاي نظارت و اجرا، به طور

مثال در روز انتخابات فقط آقايان محصولي، دانشجو و يك فرد ديگر در اتاق تجميع كلي آراء در ستاد

انتخابات حضور داشتند و نمايندگان نامزدها قادر به نزديك شدن به اين اتاق هم نشدند.

-3 در مورد كارشكني هايي از اين نوع علاوه بر انعكاس جريانات مذكور به مراجع مسئول از جمله

1388/3/ شوراي نگهبان و وزارت كشور و روساي قوا و مجمع تشخيص مصلحت نظام، نامه اي در تاريخ 14

7

به امضاي آقايان مهندس موسوي و حجت الاسلام كروبي خدمت مقام معظم رهبري تقديم گرديد و تقاضا شد

ايشان، وزارت كشور و شوراي نگهبان را ملزم به تمكين و اجراي قانون نمايند. در همين نامه ترديد نسبت به

صحت و درستي روند برگزاري انتخابات ابراز گرديد اما متاسفانه در عمل تاثيري مشاهده نشد و همان روند

ادامه يافت.

نقض بي طرفي شوراي نگهبان، هيأت نظارت و ناظران

-1 برمبناي اصل 99 قانون اساسي جمهوري اسلامي ايران و مواد مصرح قانون نظارت شوراي نگهبان

بر انتخابات رياست جهموري:

- شوراي نگهبان، نظارت برانتخابات رياست جمهوري را برعهده دارد.

- هيأت مركزي نظارت بركليه مراحل انتخابات و جريا نهاي انتخاباتي و اقدامات وزارت

كشور و هيأت هاي اجرايي كه در انتخابات موثر است و آنچه مربوط به صحت انتخابات مي شود نظارت

خواهد كرد.

- شوراي نگهبان در كليه مراحل در صورت اثبات تخلف با ذكر دليل نسبت به ابطال يا توقف

انتخابات در سراسر كشور يا بعضي از مناطق اتخاذ تصميم نموده و نظر شوراي نگهبان در اين مورد

قطعي و لازم الاجراء است و هيچ مرجع ديگري حق ابطال يا متوقف كردن انتخابات را ندارد.

-2 براساس ماده 99 قانون اساسي و مواد 73 و 93 قانون انتخابات رياس تجمهوري و مجموعه مواد

دوازده گانه نظارت شوراي نگهبان بر انتخابات رياست جمهوري، صحت برگزاري انتخابات مذكور منوط به حفظ

بي طرفي كامل شوراي نگهبان، هيأت نظارت مركزي و ناظران شورا و اعمال نظارت دقيق آنان م يباشد.

-3 به گواهي موضعگيري هاي اعضاء محترم شوراي نگهبان، اين شورا در انتخابات رياس تجمهوري،

داور ب يطرف نبوده است.

3.1 . آيت الله جنتي در تريبو نهاي مختلف از جمله نماز جمعه تهران از آقاي احمدي نژاد

جانبداري كرده است.

3.2 . آيت الله يزدي در مقام مدافع جدي آقاي احمدي نژاد در جامعه روحانيت مبارز تهران و

جامعه مدرسين حوزه علميه قم به صراحت از ايشان دفاع كرده و عبور اين دو تشكل سياسي و روحاني

از نامبرده را عقلا و شرعا غيرمجاز اعلام كرده است.

3.3 . آيت الله مومن و آيت الله مدرس يزدي نيز در قالب جامعه مدرسين حوزه علميه قم به

صورت رسمي از آقاي احمد ينژاد حمايت كرد هاند.

3.4 . آيت الله كعبي نيز در موارد متعدد از آقاي احمدي نژاد حمايت نموده و بي طرف شناخته

نمي شود.

8

3.5 . آقاي الهام حقوقدان شوراي نگهبان با انجام مسافرت ها و همايش هاي انتخاباتي در صف

مقدم تبليغ و تقديس آقاي احمدي نژاد ظاهر شده است. ايشان بنا به گزارش دريافتي در ميتينگ

تبليغاتي مصلاي تهران سخنراني كرده است. بخشي از نقش طرفداري ايشان تحت لواي سخنگويي و

گزارش كار دولت انجام شده است.

3.6 . آقاي عزيزي حقوقدان عضو شورا، معاون رئيس جمهور است و در موارد متعدد از آقاي

احمدي نژاد حمايت نموده و ب يطرف شناخته نمي شود.

3.7 . آقاي كدخدايي اگر چه عضو شوراي نگهبان نيست، اما نفوذ او در شورا با توجه به نقشي

كه در انتخابات به عهده او گذاشته شده پوشيده نيست. ايشان هم به دفعات مواضع جانبدارانه از آقاي

احمدي نژاد داشته است. به علاوه وي با صدور بخشنامه غيرقانوني نامزدها را از داشتن نماينده در

هيأت هاي اجرايي به طور كامل محروم كرد.

3.8 . در مجموع 7 نفر از اعضاي شوراي نگهبان در حمايت از آقاي احمد ينژاد موضعگيري و

بعضا اقدام به سفر و سخنراني كرده اند.

-4 هيأت مركزي نظارت شوراي نگهبان، اعضاي هيأت هاي نظارت و ناظران شوراي نگهبان در سطوح

مختلف تا ناظرين شعب را از يك طيف خاص سياسي انتخاب و در طول سال هاي گذشته سازماندهي كرده

است. طيفي يكدست و عمدتا منتسب به تشكيلات و گرو ههاي خاص كه همواره شائبه جانبداري آنها از برخي

از نامزدها وجود داشته و دارد. با وجود محدوديتهاي شديد براي حضور نمايندگان آقاي موسوي در شعب اخذ

رأي و محدوديت ارتباطي نمايندگان براي ارائه گزار شهايشان، ده ها گزارش در مورد نقض ب يطرفي ناظران و

دخالت آنها به نفع نامزد خاص واصل شده است.

-5 شوراي نگهبان و هيأت مركزي نظارت عملا نظارت دقيقي بر انتخابات دهم رياست جمهوري اعمال

نكرده است.

-5/1 تخلفات صريح وزارت كشور از مقررات موجود در خصوص فرآيند تجميع و اعلام نتايج آراء با

بي تفاوتي و عدم مداخله شوراي نگهبان مواجه شد. در حالي كه براساس قانون انتخابات و آئي ننامه اجرايي

آن تجميع آراء مي بايستي در سطح شهرستان و سپس در ستاد انتخاباتي وزارت كشور با حضور نمايندگان

نامزدها صورت مي گرفت، نتايج شمارش آراء شعب به صورت مستقيم و برخلاف مقررات مذكور و بدون

نظارت نمايندگان مذكور مستقيماً به ستاد انتخاباتي وزارت كشور ارسال و در آنجا نيز بدون نظارت

نمايندگان نامزدها، تجميع و اعلام شد. اعتراضات نمايندگان مذكور نيز مورد توجه هيأت نظارت مركزي

منصوب از طرف شوراي نگهبان قرار نگرفت.

-5/2 برخلاف رويه معمول اعلام نتايج آراء نيز بدون هر گونه هماهنگي با شوراي نگهبان صورت گرفت و

شوراي مذكور نسبت به اين امر با ب يتفاوتي كامل برخورد نمود.

-5/3 تدارك و توزيع غيرقانوني مهرهاي انتخاباتي به ميزان 100 هزار عدد يعني بيش از 2 برابر تعداد

موردنياز كه با كمال تعجب و تأسف هيچگونه اعتراضي را از سوي آن شورا برنيانگيخت.

9

-5/4 شوراي نگهبان نسبت به طرح اتهامات واهي و مطالب خلاف واقع از سوي آقاي احمدي نژاد در

مناظره هاي تلويزيوني و نيز استفاده از امكانات و منابع دولتي براي تطميع رأي دهندگان كه از مصاديق

نقض صلاحيت آقاي احمد ينژاد براي تصدي پست رياست جمهوري و اعمالي مجرمانه بوده است، سياست

سكوت و ب يتفاوتي اختيار نمود و به وظايف نظارتي خود عمل نكرد.

-5/5 تهيه ميليونها برگ تعرفه اخذ رأي بيش از حائزين شرايط در كنار كمبود تعرفه در تعداد قابل توجهي

از شعب اخذ رأي با واكنش مناسب از سوي نهاد نظارتي مواجه نشد.

1388 و /3/ -5/6 سخنگوي اين شورا كه مواضع جانبدارانه وي از يكي از نامزدها واضح است روز شنبه 23

در حالي كه هنوز شكايات نامزدهاي ديگر به شوراي نگهبان ارسال نشده بود اعلام كرد كه اين انتخابات

يكي از ب يمشكل ترين انتخابات بوده و كمترين تخلف گزارش شده است (نقل به مضمون).

-6 با توجه به مجموعه موارد فوق الذكر از آنجا كه انتخابات دهم رياست جمهوري عملا در غياب نظارت

مصرح در قانون اساسي و مواد قانوني مذكور برگزار گرديده عملا باطل و فاقد اعتبار است.

همسو بودن مجر ي و ناظر انتخابات براي اولين بار

-1 سازوكار انتخابات در ايران متكي به دو ركن است. وزارت كشور (ستاد انتخابات و هيأت هاي اجرايي)

و شوراي نگهبان (هيأت هاي نظارت). طرف سومي وجود ندارد و نقش ناظران كانديداها بسيار حاشي هاي و به

شدت آسيب پذير است.

-2 در طول 30 سال گذشته همواره مجري و ناظر داراي گرايش هاي سياسي متفاوتي بود هاند و اين امر

سلامت انتخابات را به طور نسبي تضمين كرده بود. اگرچه اين مسئله در زمين ههايي كه يك طرف غلبه داشت

(مانند تأييد صلاحيت ها) به شدت دچار مشكل مي شد.

-3 براي اولين بار در 30 سال گذشته، مجري و ناظر انتخابات از نظر سياسي و در حمايت از نامزد

خاص هم جهت بودند و اين امر سلامت انتخابات و امانتداري برگزاركنندگان را بيش از پيش مورد ترديد قرار

مي داد.

-4 به علاوه مجري و ناظر داراي عقايدي بودند كه به موجب آن رأي مردم، زينت و پشتوانه نظام است

نه حق مردم و منشأ مشروعيت نظام و پيروزي رقيب را هم در بين هوادارانشان زمينه ترويج ب يديني و فساد

مالي و حاكميت بيگانه وانمود كردند. بنابراين پذيرفتني است كه با توجه به شواهد بسيار، به تصرف گسترده

در آراء مردم در اين انتخابات معتقد باشيم.

10

مداخله نظاميان در انتخابات

-1 بر اساس فرمايشات امام خميني (ره ) و ماده 49 آيين نامه انضباطي و ماده 40 قانون جرايم

تقلب و تزوير در تعرفه ها و آراء

-1 به موجب ماده ( 26 ) قانون انتخابات رياست جمهوري اسلامي ايران، "آرايي كه با تقلب و تزوير در

تعرفه ها و آراء به دست آمده باشد" باطل و جزء آراي مأخوذه محسوب نخواهد شد. همچنين به موجب ماده

33 ) قانون مذكور، "تقلب و تزوير در اوراق و تعرفه يا برگ رأي يا صورت جلسات"، "كم و زياد كردن آراء يا )

تعرفه ها"، "تغيير و تبديل يا جعل و يا ربودن و يا معدوم نمودن اوراق و ا سناد انتخاباتي از قبيل تعرفه و برگ

رأي "،" جابه جايي، دخل و تصرف و يا معدوم نمودن اسناد انتخاباتي بدون مجوز قانوني" جرم محسوب شده

و "چنانچه وقوع جرايم مندرج در ماده فوق موجب گردد كه جريان انتخابات در يك يا چند شعبه ثبت نام و

اخذ رأي از مسير قانوني خود خارج شود و در نتيجه كلي انتخابات موثر باشد. مراتب وسيله وزارت كشور به

منظور طرح در شوراي نگهبان به هيأت مركزي نظارت اعلام م يگردد"

-2 در فرآيند اجراي قانون انتخابات، مسئله تعرفه انتخابات از جهات گوناگون از اهميت و حساسيت

حياتي برخوردار است. ناتواني يا اعما لنظر احتمالي در اين مرحله، صحت بسياري از گام هاي قبلي و بعدي

انتخابات را با شك و ترديد مواجه م يكند. تعداد تعرف ههايي كه در هر دوره چاپ و براي انتخابات به كار گرفته

مي شود براساس تعداد افراد واجد شرايط رأي دادن است كه مركز آمار ايران و سازمان ثبت احوال تعيين

مي كنند و معمولا براي جلوگيري از كمبود تعرفه، درصدي معقول اضافه مي شود. در اين دوره عليرغم اينكه

45 نفر اعلام /200/ مركز آمار ايران و سازمان ثبت احوال، جمعيت افراد واجد شرايط رأي دادن را حدود 000

59 برگه تعرفه رأي با شماره سريال چاپ شده است. اين تعداد تعرفه به صورت /600/ شده بود تعداد 000

سريالي و با در نظر گرفتن كدشناسايي براي 30 استان كشور و براساس جمعيت رأ يدهنده هر استان چاپ

شده و پيشاپيش بين استان ها توزيع گرديده است.

88 يك روز /3/ -3 براساس اعلام مسولان ذيربط و تأييد برخي از اعضاء شوراي نگهبان در تاريخ 21

قبل از انتخابات با ميليو نها برگه تعرفه ديگر بدون شماره سريال در چاپخانه بانك مركزي چاپ شده است. چاپ

اين تعداد تعرفه اضافي با وجود رقم قابل توجه بيش از 59 ميليون تعرفه قبلي، آن هم بدون شماره سريال به

خودي خود مورد ترديدي جدي در فرآيند برگزاري انتخابات و قابل تأمل است.

بايد معلوم شود:

88 چقدر بوده و اين تعرف هها چگونه توزيع شده است؟ /3/ -3/1 تعداد واقعي تعرفه هاي چاپ شده در روز 21

-3/2 چاپ ميليون ها برگ تعرفه جديد بدون شماره سريال با اجازه آيت الله جنتي كه نه تعداد آن مشخص است

و نه محل استفاده از آنها طبق كدام اختيارات قانوني است؟

-3/3 اهداف اقدام وزارت كشور در چاپ اين ميزان تعرفه اضافي بدون شماره سريال استاني چه بوده است؟

14

-3/4 با توجه به عدم درج باركد استاني روي اين تعرفه ها، توزيع، مصرف و كنترل اين برگ ههاي رأي از چه

قواعدي برخوردار بوده است؟

-4 در ارتباط با وضعيت كلي مجموع تعرف ههاي چاپ شده و مسائل مربوط بدان نيز سؤالات زير مطرح

است:

-4/1 توزيع استاني و شهرستاني اين تعرف هها چگونه بوده و تابع چه قواعدي بوده است؟ چرا با وجود

شبهات متعدد و قابل توجه، وزارت كشور گزارشي در اين باره ارائه نم يدهد؟

22 تا 32 ميليون تعرفه مازاد بر نياز واقعي كه در ا ختيار مجريان امر انتخابات قرار گرفته است و در -4/2

نوع خود طي 30 سال و 29 انتخابات اخير بي سابقه است با چه هدفي چاپ و توزيع شده است؟

-4/3 چرا عليرغم ده ها ميليون مازاد تعرفه در هزاران شعبه اخذ رأي در مناطق مختلف كشور از جمله

استان هاي آذربايجان شرقي، فارس، تهران و لرستان از ساعات 10 و 11 صبح كمبود تعرفه باعث متوقف

شدن روند رأي گيري شد؟

-4/4 چرا تعرفه هاي راي با سهل انگاري، حمل و توزيع شده است؟

-4/5 آيا مجموعه نكات فوق الذكر شائبه وقوع اقدامات غيرقانوني گسترده و وجود تعداد ب يشمار آراي

تقلبي در صندوق ها را تحكيم نمي كند؟ و آيا ده ها ميليون تعرفه مازاد و اضافي در جريان مشكوك مهندسي

آراء صندوق هاي رأي گيري به ويژه صندو قهاي سيار و صندوق هاي سايه مورد استفاده قرار نگرفته است؟

موارد فو قالذكر نشان مي دهد كه در همين مرحله زمينه لازم براي مهندسي آراء فراهم شده است.

مهر هاي اضافي

-1 رويه معمول در انتخابات گذشته تهيه مهرهاي انتخاباتي براي شعب اخذ رأي به ميزان شعب به

علاوه 10 ٪ بوده است. 10 ٪ اضافي براي موارد پيش بيني نشده مانند شكسته شدن مهرها در شعب در نظر

گرفته مي شده است. همواره رويه اين بوده است كه به هر صندوق يك مهر اختصاص م ييافته است.

-2 در اين دوره بالغ بر 100 هزار مهر تدارك ديده شد كه در هيچ دور هاي مسبوق به سابقه نبوده و به

اندازه دو برابر تعداد صندوق ها به علاوه 10 ٪ بوده است. اين اقدام فاقد وجاهت قانوني بوده و م يتوانسته

زمينه ساز تقلبات فراوان گردد.

-3 وجود بيش از 50 هزار مهر انتخاباتي اضافي در كنار ده ها ميليون برگه رأي مازاد شائبه وجود

ميليون ها رأي تقلبي در صندوق ها را تقويت مي كند.

اخلال و كارشكني در زمينه حضور نمايندگان نامزدها در شعب اخذ رأي

-1 به موجب ماده واحده قانون حضور نمايندگان نامزدهاي رياست جمهوري در شعب اخذ رأي نامزدها

مي توانند در هر يك از شعب اخذ رأي و نيز هيأتهاي اجرايي شهرستانها و بخشها يك نفر نماينده داشته

باشند. اين نمايندگان مي توانند تا پايان اخذ رأي و شمارش و تنظيم صورتجلسات حضور داشته باشند و موارد

15

تخلف را كتباً به ناظرين شوراي نگهبان و هيأتهاي نظارت شهرستان و استان و ستاد انتخابات وزارت كشور

گزارش نمايند. بر مبناي اين قانون ممانعت از حضور اين نمايندگان جرم محسوب مي شود.

-2 بر خلاف نص صريح قانون، آقاي كدخدايي در پاسخ به پرسشي، حضور نمايندگان نامزدها در

هيأتهاي اجرايي را منتفي اعلام مي كند.

-3 بر خلاف نص صريح قانون و آيين نامه اجرايي و جدول زمانبندي انتخابات، فرمانداران و بخشداران

88 ضمن اعلام تشكيل هيأت هاي /2/ مراكز حوزه هاي اصلي و فرعي انتخابات موظف بوده اند از روز 31

اجرايي شهرستان و بخش ها به نمايندگان نامزدها، از آنان جهت حضور در دعوت به عمل آورند كه از اين كار

استنكاف ورزيده اند. اين عملي مجرمانه است كه قانونگذار براي آن مجازات در نظر گرفته است.

-4 بر مبناي تبصره 2 ماده واحده قانون حضور نمايندگان نامزدهاي رياست جمهوري در شعب اخذ رأي،

فرمانداران موظفند كارت يا معرفي نامه نمايندگان مذكور را حداقل 48 ساعت قبل از روز اخذ رأي تحويل

ستاد تبليغات نامزد مربوطه در آن شهرستان نمايند. تخلف از اين امر نيز جرم محسوب مي شود.

-5 مسئولان وزارت كشور و بسياري از فرمانداريها در اجراي قانون فوق تخلفات بسياري را مرتكب

شدند، از جمله:

سردرگمي در نحوه اعلام و ارسال مدارك و اطلاعات مورد نياز براي صدور كارت ��

يا معرفي نامه به طوري كه در آخرين لحظات و با مشكلات فراوان موارد اعلام گرديد. اين

كار مي توانست مدتها قبل از آن انجام شود.

اعلام ثبت نام اينترنتي با دادن كلمه عبور ( پسورد ) هايي كه بسياري از آنها ��

پاسخ نداد و ستادها ناگزير به اصرار بر ثبت نام دستي شدند. اين موضوع نيز در 48 ساعت

آخر و با استمداد ستاد از دفتر مقام معظم رهبري به نتيجه رسيد.

عدم صدور كارت براي صدها نفر از افراد معرفي شده به بهانه نقص مدارك و ��

عدم جايگزيني آنها با افراد ديگري كه معرفي شدند.

فرمانداران بر خلاف قانون و بنا به ميل و سليقه خود با دستكاري در فهرست ��

معرفي شدگان، شماره شعب اخذ رأي تعيين شده براي ناظران را تغيير دادند. در اين زمينه

آنان حاضر به رعايت آنچه كه در مذاكره رئيس كميته صيانت از آراء با دفتر مقام معظم

رهبري توافق شده بود نيز نشدند. اين در حالي است كه قانون صراحت دارد كه نامزدها

نمايندگان خود را براي هر شعبه معرفي مي كنند.

كارتهاي صادره در موارد متعددي به صورتي بوده كه امكان استفاده از آن وجود ��

نداشته و ناظر نمي توانسته با ارائه آن عملاّ در شعب حضور يابد. به عنوان نمونه در موارد

زيادي نام افراد اشتباه قيد شده و يا حتي در مواردي عكس مردان به كارت زنان و يا

بالعكس الصاق شده بود.

16

در موارد زيادي شماره صندوقهايي كه ناظر براي آن معرفي شده بود با شماره ��

صندوقي كه در محل بوده مطابقت نداشته و ناظر معرفي شده توسط مسئولان صندوق

پذيرفته نشده و امكان حضور و نظارت ممكن نبوده است.

در موارد متعددي كارتهاي ناظرين معرفي شده از طرف يك نامزد براي نامزد ��

ديگري ارسال گرديده و به علت ضيق وقت امكان رفع اين اشتباه و جابجايي وجود نداشته

است.

اقدام فوق موجب شد كه مثلاً در تهران نمايندگان ستاد آقاي مهندس موسوي در ��

حدود 50 درصد از شعب نتوانند حضور يابند و بسياري ديگر نيز به دليل ناآشنايي با محل و

يا دوري راه با تأخير زياد در شعب حضور يافتند. بدين ترتيب امكان حصول اطمينان از

خالي بودن صندوقها قبل از شروع رأي گيري فراهم نشد.

از بين ناظرين حاضر شده در شعب اخذ رأي نيز در موارد متعددي، بر خلاف نص ��

صريح قانون و مجازاتهاي در نظر گرفته شده براي متخلفان از آن، نمايندگان نامزدها از

شعب اخذ رأي اخراج شده اند و يا اجازه اعمال وظايف نظارتي خود را نيافته اند.

-6 با قطع سيستم پيامك به عنوان وسيله اصلي ارتباطي نمايندگان با كميته صيانت از بامداد روز رأي

گيري و قطع تلفنهاي ثابت كميته صيانت در اواخر زمان رأي گيري و هنگام اوج كاري كميته مذكور اختلال

جدي در كار نظارت ايجاد نمودند.

كمبود تعرفه

-1 هزاران شعبه اخذ رأي در مناطق مختلف كشور از جمله استا نهاي آذربايجان شرقي، فارس، تهران و

لرستان از ساعت 10 و 11 صبح دچار كمبود تعرفه اخذ رأي شدند و اين امر موجب توقف چند ساعته

رأي گيري در آنها گرديد.

-2 با توجه به ميليونها تعرفه مازاد تعلل شديدي كه در جريان توزيع تعرفه هاي انتخاباتي به چشم

مي خورد كاملا ابها مبرانگيز بود؛ به ويژه كه اين كمبود تعرفه بيشتر در شهرهاي بزرگ و شهرهايي مانند

تبريز، شيراز، مناطق شمالي و شرقي و غربي تهران ديده م يشد. امري كه براي اولين بار در 30 سال گذشته

مشاهده شد و مناطقي كه طبعا ميزان بالاي آراء در آنها قابل پيش بيني بود و مشكل و مانعي براي رساندن

تعرفه نيز وجود نداشت.

-3 در مورد كمبود تعرفه نيز سوالات و ابهامات متعددي مطرح است:

-3/1 چه توضيحي براي اين امر قابل ارائه است كه در ساعات اوليه شروع رأ يگيري يعني ساعات 10 و

11 كمبود تعرفه اعلام شود و تا ظهر، رأي گيري در صدها شعبه متوقف گردد؛ در حالي كه در هر ساعت با

خوشبينانه ترين وضعيت براي هر صندوق فقط يك صد نفر امكان رأي دادن دارند، آيا به اين شعب فقط 200

17

الي 300 تعرفه داده شده بود يا برگ ههاي رأي پيش از شروع رأ يگيري به نام كسي نوشته و در صندو قها

ريخته شده بود؟

-3/2 آيا كمبود تعرفه و تعلل در رساندن تعرفه ها در بخشي از شعب از سر نگراني نسبت به افزايش تعداد

آراي مأخوذه از مرز 100 درصد افراد واجد شرايط نبود؟ امري كه در ده ها حوزه عملاً اتفاق افتاد؟

-3/3 آيا كمبود تعرفه به طور مهندسي شده و جه تدار متوجه حوز ههايي نبود كه اقبال مردم به

كانديداهاي منتقد رئيس جمهور كنوني بسيار بالا بود؟

-3/4 آيا اين نحوه مديريت، مصداق بارز سوء استفاده از موقعيت در جهت منافع شخصي و گروهي و

تصرف غيرقانوني در انتخابات به نفع كانديداي خاص و همچنين مصداقي از تقلب و تزوير در اوراق تعرفه (بند

2 ماده 33 قانون) و اخلال در امر انتخابات (بند 7 ماده 33 قانون) كه صراحتا جرم محسوب شد هاند نيست؟

تخلفات در جريان رأي گيري

عليرغم محدوديت هاي گسترده براي حضور نمايندگان آقاي موسوي در شعب اخذ رأي ثابت و سيار و

جلوگيري از نظارت مؤثر ايشان در جريان رأ يگيري و قطع ارتباطات و جلوگيري غيرقانوني از ارائه گزار شهاي

، وضعيت صندو قها و مستندات تخلفات، صدها گزارش در موارد ذيل كه مصاديق بروز تخلفات موضوع مواد 19

29 و 33 قانون انتخابات رياست جمهوري اسلامي ايران م يباشد واصل شده است: ،26 ،25 ،24

-1 تبليغ براي آقاي احمدي نژاد و توصيه به انتخاب ايشان از طرف اعضاي شعبه، ناظران

شوراي نگهبان و ساير افراد در محل شعب. اين موضوع علاوه بر اينكه خود تخلف بوده و منجر به

تأثيرگذاري بر آراء شده است نشان هاي بر گرايش مجريان و ناظران و احتمال تخلف از سوي آنها در ديگر

مراحل رأي گيري مي باشد.

-2 عدم حصول اطمينان از خالي بودن صندو قها قبل از لاك و مهر يا لاك و مهر نداشتن

صندوق ها. اين تخلف يكي از گلوگاه هاي مهم جريان رأي گيري است كه مي تواند منشأ تقلب گسترده

باشد. هيچ اطميناني وجود ندارد كه صندوق ها قبل از لاك و مهر شدن، با آراء مورد نياز و مهندسي شده

از قبل پر نشده باشد. نمايندگاني كه پس از عبور از هفت خوان اخلال ها، بسياري از آنها امكان حضور

راه » قبل از زمان شروع رأي گيري را نيافته بودند و نمايندگاني كه غالباً با اصرار و تأكيد غيرقانوني

مواجه گرديدند چگونه م يتوانستند در مورد خالي بودن صندوق ها قبل از شروع « اخراج » يا « ندادن

رأي گيري اطمينان يابند.

-3 رأي گيري مكرر، دادن چند برگه رأي به افراد خاص، مهر نكردن شناسنامه، اخذ رأي بدون

شناسنامه، اخذ رأي با كارت ملي و . . .

-4 رأي گيري با شناسنامه غير يا مجعول.

18

-5 تهديد و ارعاب در شعب اخذ رأي يا اطراف آن توسط عوامل نظامي يا تحت فرمان آنها و

القاء بروز مشكل در صورت عدم پيروزي آقاي احمدي نژاد.

-6 خريد و فروش شناسنامه و رأي.

-7 تغيير مكان، تغيير شماه يا شكسته شدن پلمپ صندو قها.

-8 گم شدن يا خارج شدن تعرفه ها، خروج دسته هاي برگه رأي از شعب، پيدا شدن ته

برگ بهاي تعرفه نوشته شده با سريالي مشخص خارج از صندوق ها.

-9 مهر نداشتن برگه رأي، گم شدن مهر انتخاباتي يا خروج آن از شعبه.

-10 رأي نويسي خارج از صندوق يا نوشتن رأي براي ديگران

-11 اخذ رأي از غيرواجدان شرايط از جمله افراد زير 18 سال

-12 عدم پاكسازي شعب از مواد تبليغي آقاي احمدي نژاد

-13 تقلب در شمارش آراء از جمله در تغيير كد 4 به 44

-14 اخراج نماينده آقاي موسوي در بسياري از شعب قبل از شمارش يا پلمپ صندوق و در

نتيجه تقويت شائبه خواندن آراء ديگر كانديدايا به نفع نامزد دولت

-15 عدم نظارت بر تنظيم صورتجلسات شعب اخذ رأي و تطبيق دقيق آراء شمارش شده با

صورتجلسه تنظيمي

وضعيت هاي صندو قهاي سيار

-1 مدتي پيش از انتخابات مشخص شد كه وزارت كشور 14 هزار صندوق سيار در نظر گرفته است

يعني چيزي حدود يك سوم كل صندوق ها. اين امر نشانگر عزمي براي تقلب وسيع بود چرا كه تخلف و تقلب

در صندوق هاي سيار به دليل جابجايي مكرر و كنترل كمتر بسيار سهل تر و گسترده تر است. كميته صيانت از

آراء آقاي موسوي شديدا به اين مسئله اعتراض كرد، اما مورد توجه دست اندركاران انتخابات و دستگاه نظارتي

قرار نگرفت.

-2 طبق ماده قانون انتخابات رياست جمهوري تخصيص شعب سيار، صرفا براي مناطق صعب العبور

كوهستاني و نقاط دور دست و اماكن شبانه روزي نظير بيمارستا نها و زندا نهاست كه تشكيل شعب ثابت

مقدور نيست؛ ليكن ديده شد كه صندوق هاي سيار در ميادين و خيابان هاي اصلي شهرها و در نقاطي به كار

گرفته شد كه صندوق هاي ثابت در نزديكي آنها مستقر بود.

-3 اين اقدام غيرقانوني در شرايطي صورت پذيرفته كه برخلاف نص صريح متن ماده واحده قانون

حضور نمايندگان كانديداها در شعب ثابت و سيار، اغلب نماينده هاي نامزدها در صندوق هاي سيار همراه

نبودند، و ناظرين معرفي شده با عدم پذيرش از طرف فرمانداري ها يا عد مامكان همراهي با صندوق هاي سيار

در زمان جابجايي مواجه شده اند.

19

-4 نتايج آراء صندوق ها كه از طرف وزارت كشور اعلام شده است نيز نشان م يدهد كه عل يرغم

مهندسي آراء در همه صندوق ها اعم از ثابت و سيار، وضعيت صندوق هاي سيار تفاوت قابل ملاحظه و

معني داري به نفع آقاي احمدي نژاد را نمايان مي سازد و به عبارتي حجم تخلفات و تقلب در صندوق هاي سيار

به مراتب بيشتر از صندوق هاي ثابت بوده است.

-5 گم شدن مقداري از صندوق هاي سيار و پيدا شدن آنها پس از چند ساعت بعضاً در محلي كه نبايد

باشند، توجه به آراي واريز شده به صندوق هاي مذكور و تركيب جمعيتي مسير حركت آنها و مقايسه با

دوره هاي قبل م يتواند واقعيات رخ داده در مورد بسياري از آنها را روشن نمايد.

محدود كردن زمان رأي گيري و ممانعت غيرقانوني از اخذ رأي

-1 براساس قانون مدت زمان اخذ راي ده ساعت تعيين شده است. تمديد زمان از اختيارات وزير كشور

است در دوره هاي قبل وزراء كشور براي تمام نقاط كشور در مرحله اول به مدت 2 ساعت مدت رأي گيري را

تمديد مي كرده اند. براي حوزه هاي انتخابيه پرجمعيت اين زمان به 4 ساعت يعني تا ساعت 10 شب تمديد

مي شده است. علاوه بر آن همواره وزارت كشور و ستاد انتخابات با صدور اعلاميه هاي پ يدرپي فرمانداران و

بخشداران را موظف م ينموده اند كه تا حصول اطمينان كامل اعضاء شعب اخذ راي از عدم حضور

راي دهندگان در محل استقرار صندو قها اقدام به اتمام را يگيري، بستن در بها و شمارش آراء ننمايند.

در اين دوره با وجود ازدحام بي سابقه جمعيت را يدهنده حتي برخلاف ابلاغ نظر مقام رهبري به وزير

كشور ايشان تحت تأثير رئيس جمهور و برخي از اعضاء شوراي نگهبان از تمديد زمان را يگيري در حد

متعارف استنكاف مي كند. مديريت زمان انتخابات فوق حاكي از عدم انجام وظيفه مديريتي وزير كشور و

سوء استفاده از مقام و موقعيت خويش در مسير اهداف جناحي است.

-2 با وجود اقبال عمومي مردم به راي دادن در اين دوره كه مورد تاييد خاص و عام است و آمار تعداد

شركت كنندگان هم مؤيد آن است معلوم نيست به چه دليل برخلاف رويه معمول و عليرغم كمبود تعرفه در

بعضي از مناطق كه خود موجب عدم امكان راي دادن مردم در زمان مناسب بود، مسئولان برگزاري انتخابات

در متوقف كردن زمان راي گيري چنان تعجيلي داشتند؟!!!

بنابر گزارش هاي متعدد در بسياري از موارد مسوولان شعب نه تنها با بستن درب شعب اخذ راي مانع ورود

مردم در صف م يشدند بلكه حتي افرادي را كه وارد شعب اخذ راي شده بودند به بهانه اتمام وقت از محل

اخراج مي كردند و اين در حالي بود كه صدا و سيما در تبليغات رسمي خود خلاف آن را بيان م يكرد. وانگهي

رويه گذشته و روح قانون اينست كه تا آخرين فرد حاضر در محل راي گيري بايد زمان اخذ راي تمديد شود.

1 آيين نامه اجرايي قانون انتخابات) - (بند 5

مضافاً طبق اصل 6 قانون اساسي اداره امور كشور با آراي عمومي است و راي دادن حق طبيعي همه

شهروندان است و تشخيص وزير كشور براي تمديد ساعات اخذ راي يك تشخيص گزينشي و سليق هاي نيست

20

و بايد به نحوي از مجموعه شرايط و اوضاع و احوال تبعيت كند كه هيچ شهروند حاضر در محل صندوق ها از

اين حق طبيعي خود محروم نشود.

-3 عليرغم اينكه چهار نفر از نمايندگان ستاد آقاي موسوي به وزارت كشور مراجعه كرده و درخواست

ملاقات با وزير جهت تمديد وقت را يگيري طبق روال گذشته بودند، وزير كشور از پذيرفتن آن امتناع كرد و

به اين ترتيب اقدامات وزارت كشور و تعجيلي كه در اعلام نتايج آراء به صورت موردنظر خود داشت منجر به

تضييع حقوق بسياري از شهروندان و محروميت آنان از حق رأي دادن گرديد.

-4 جاي تأسف است در حالي كه شعار شركت حداكثري آقايان در گفتار هم هجا را دربر گرفته بود در

كردار عكس آن عمل كردند و در حالي كه همه مسئولان بايد از استقبال هر چه بيشتر مردم براي رأي دادن

خشنود باشند برخي در واقع نگران بودند. با توجه به اقبال عمومي و گسترده مردم براي رأي دادن در اين

دوره، انتظار اين بود كه زمان رأي گيري به طور عمومي حتي تا ساعت 12 شب تمديد گردد ولي متأسفانه اين

زمان به 9 شب محدود گرديد.

-5 اين نحوه محدود كردن زمان رأي گيري، شبهات و سوالات جدي را مطرح مي كند:

-5/1 آيا تعجيل در اتمام هر چه سريعتر انتخابات كه با شتابزدگي در اعلام نتايج آراء و تعجيل در ثبت نتايج در

ادامه همراه بود نشانه اي بر اين مسئله نبود كه سناريوي اعلام نتايج تا حدود زيادي مستقل از مشاركت مردم در

انتخابات و وضعيت واقعي صندو قهاي رأي بود؟

-5/2 آيا اين موضع به دليل نگراني از افزايش تعداد را يدهندگان نسبت به تعداد واجدان شرايط در اكثريت

قريب به اتفاق حوز هها نبود؟ با توجه به اينكه درصدها حوزه اين اتفاق افتاد و تعداد رأ يدهندگان از 95 درصد تا

140 درصد واجدان شرايط گزارش گرديد!

-5/3 آيا محدود كردن زمان رأي گيري عمدتا متوجه مناطقي به ويژه در شهرهاي بزرگ و حوزه هايي نبوده

است كه رقباي آقاي احمدي نژاد از پايگاه رأي بالاتري برخوردار بود هاند؟

-5/4 آيا اين اقدام دس تاندركاران انتخابات، يكي از دهها تدبير مهندسي انتخابات در جهت محروم كردن

رقباي آقاي احمدي نژاد و شهروندان از حقوق اساسي خويش نبوده است؟

شمارش و تجميع آرا

-1 طبق ماده 28 آيين نامه اجرايي قانون انتخابات رياست جمهوري بايد كليه مراحل قرائت، شمارش

آراء و تنظيم صورتجلسه در شعب اخذ رأي به صورت دستي انجام و كليه مستندات و صندوقهاي لاك و مهر

شده تحويل هيأت اجرايي بخش شود. همچنين آيين نامه مذكور نحوه تكميل صورتجلسات و تجميع آراء در

فرمانداريها و اعلام نتايج بر مبناي آراي شهرستان مشخص به ستاد انتخابات وزارت كشور را معين نموده

است. بر اين مبناست كه ستاد مذكور قادر به اعلام نتايج آراء خواهد بود و ناظران نامزدها در فرمانداريها و

ستاد فوق خواهند توانست بر روند تجميع و اعلام نتايج نظارت نمايند.

21

-2 وزارت كشور پيش از برگزاري انتخابات، در پاسخ به درخواست رسمي ستادهاي انتخاباتي آقايان

مهندس موسوي و كروبي اعلام نموده بود شمارش آراء به صورت دستي انجام خواهد شد و سيستم طراحي و

نصب شده رايانه اي براي كاري آزمايشي است.

-3 اما در عمل وزارت كشور بر خلاف مقررات مذكور و نامه فوق عمل نمود و آراي شمارش شده در هر

شعبه به طور مستقيم و پيش از طي مراحل ارسال به هيأت اجرايي بخش و نهايتاً فرمانداريها و خارج از

نظارت ناظران نامزدها مستقر در فرمانداريها و وزارت كشور به صورت رايان هاي به ستاد انتخاباتي وزارت

مذكور ارسال و در همانجا نتايج تجميع و اعلام شد.

-4 علاوه بر تخلف صريح مذكور آنچه كه نتايج اعلام شده را مورد ترديد جدي قرار مي دهد و احتمال

اعلام مديريت و مهندسي شده آراء را تقويت مي كند آن است كه:

در حالي كه رأي گيري در برخي شعب اخذ رأي ادامه داشت، وزارت كشور با ��

اعلام نتايج مربوط به پنج ميليون رأي شمارش شده جهت گيري تعيين پيروز انتخابات را

روشن نمود.

تعجيل وزارت مذكور در اعلام نتايج باعث شد نسبت آراي نفرات اول و دوم به ��

گونه اي غيرعادي به صورت خطي حفظ شود و آراي باطله و سفيد نداشته باشيم. نكته اي

كه پس از اعلام نتايج مربوط به سي ميليون رأي شمارش شده مورد توجه قرار گرفت و

تصحيح شد.

بر خلاف روال معمول اعلام نتايج بدون تطبيق آمار با شوراي نگهبان صورت ��

پذيرفت.

-5 شوراي نگهبان نيز هيچ مداخله اي براي ممانعت از ادامه اين تخلفات از مقررات و رويه هاي معمول

صورت نداد.

-6 در پي وقوع اين تخلفات آشكار، نمايندگان آقايان رضايي، كروبي و موسوي مستقر در ستاد انتخابات

وزارت كشور طي نامه اي به وزير كشور مراتب اعتراض خود را به اين روند اعلام و با توجه به نبود امكان

نظارت آنان بر نحوه تجميع و اعلام آرا ادامه حضور خود را بي فايده دانسته و ستاد مذكور را ترك كردند.

رونوشت اين نامه براي دفتر مقام معظم رهبري، هيأت مركزي نظارت بر انتخابات و رئيس ستاد انتخابات نيز

ارسال شد.

شواهدي بر وجود برنامه ريزي مشخص براي اعلام نتايج مهندسي شده آراء

از چند روز پيش از زمان برگزاري انتخابات شواهدي به چشم خورد كه حاكي از وجود طراحي مشخصي براي اعلام

نتايج مهندسي شده آراء بود. اين شواهد تا هنگام تجميع و اعلام آراء تداوم داشت. اهم موارد به قرار زير است:

-1 پيش بيني نتيجه آراء حدود 23 تا 24 ميليون براي آقاي احمدي نژاد توسط حاميان ايشان و قطعي

اعلام نمودن پيروزي ايشان در انتخابات توسط ستادشان دو روز قبل از برگزاري انتخابات. ستاد انتخاباتي

22

طبق اخبار واصله و معتبر و قطعي، » : 88 اعلام مي كنتد /3/ آقاي احمدي نژاد طي بخشنامه اي در تاريخ 20

پيروزي آقاي احمدي نژاد صددرصد و حتمي است. منتظر طنين الله اكبر در سراسر ايران اسلامي بعد از

پرسش اينجاست كه اين قطعيت از كجا حاصل شده است؟ آيا خبر از وجود طرحي براي .« شمارش آراء باشيد

مهندسي آراء نمي دهد.

-2 قطع سرويس پيامك به عنوان اصلي ترين وسيله ارتباطي نمايندگان آقاي مهندس موسوي در شعب

اخذ رأي در روز رأ يگيري در حالي كه رئيس ستاد انتخابات وزارت كشور پيش از آن احتمال وقوع چنين

امري را نفي كرده بود.

-3 قطع خطوط تلفن كميته صيانت از آراء در اوج كار گزارش گيري كميته مذكور يعني هنگام شمارش

آراء.

-4 اعلام برگزاري مانور اقتدار و هشدار وزير اطلاعات مبني بر وجود تلا شهايي براي اخلال در امنيت

كشور.

-5 زمينه سازي صدا و سيما از عصر روز 22 خرداد با اعلام تركيب واجدين شرايط در مناطق روستايي و

شهرهاي كوچك.

-6 تغيير در نحوه تجميع و اعلام نتايج آراء برخلاف مقررات و اظهارات مسئولان امر. به گون هاي كه

نتايج آراء شمارش شده به طور مستقيم و بدون تجميع در سطح شهرستان و تحت نظارت نمايندگان نامزدها

به ستاد انتخاباتي وزارت كشور اعلام شد و در آنجا نيز بدون نظارت نمايندگان نامزدها تجميع و اعلام گرديد.

-7 تدارك مهر انتخاباتي به تعداد بيش از دو برابر موردنياز و نيز ميليونها تعرفه اضافي.

-8 كمبود تعرفه در برخي از شعب اخذ رأي عليرغم چاپ ميليونها تعرفه اضافي.

-9 تعجيل در خاتمه دادن زمان رأ يگيري با وجود تقاضاهاي مكرر مبني بر تمديد ساعت اخذ رأي.

-10 اعلام زودهنگام نتايج آراء پيش از خاتمه رأي گيري در تمامي شعب و مطابق با نسبت حاكم در

نتيجه نهايي آراء و نيز بدون هماهنگي معمول با شوراي نگهبان.

-11 نقل قول افراد مختلف حامي آقاي احمد ينژاد و نيز خبرگزاريهاي فارس و ايرنا در مورد پيروزي

نامزد حاكم پيش از خاتمه يافتن زمان رأ يگيري.

-12 تنظيم تيتر روزنامه كيهان مبني بر پيروزي آقاي احمدي نژاد پيش از خاتمه يافتن زمان رأي گيري.

-13 هجوم به دفاتر مختلف ستاد آقاي مهندس موسوي از جمله ستاد مركزي ايشان از عصر روز

رأي گيري.

-14 دستگيري تعدادي از اعضاي ستاد و پلمپ دفاتر ستاد به منظور ايجاد اختلال در فرآيند جم عآوري و

اعلام مستندات تخلفات صورت گرفته.

شواهد آماري تقلب

23

يكي از مهم ترين چالش هاي مطروحه در بحث انتخابات دهم رياست جمهوري، موضوع مهندسي انتخابات و

عدم روايي اطلاعات و آمار ارائه شده توسط وزارت كشور مي باشد. در اين زمينه شواهد ذيل بيانگر احتمال قابل توجه

تقلب گسترده در انتخابات است:

-1 وجود مغايرت در آمار ارائه شده استانهاي مختلف به تفكيك شهرستان و صندوق

يكي از روشها، بررسي تطبيقي و توازن آمار ارائه شده از طرق مختلف است كه از اين روش معمولا در

موسسات مالي و حتي آمارگيري هاي اجتماعي براي كنترل پرسشنام هها بهره گيري مي شود. بطور مثال

موسسات مالي در انتهاي روز، سال و يا ماه براي بستن حسابها نيازمند گرفتن تراز مالي و تطبيق ف يمابين

حسابهاي مختلف هستند بطوريكه حتي يك ريال اختلاف في مابين حسابها كليه عمليات مالي مجموعه را با

خدشه مواجه م يسازد. اين موضوع به اين دليل اهميت دارد كه م يبايست روايي آمار و اطلاعات ارائه شده از

طرق مختلف تطبيق نمايد. در بحث انتخابات نيز با عنايت به اينكه آمار ارائه شده در تركيب هاي مختلفي

حسب نياز احصاء و ارائه شده است براي آزمون فرضيه روايي آمار و اطلاعات آراي هر يك از نامزدها آمار

آراي مأخوذه استانهاي مختلف كه از سوي وزارت كشور در دو طبقه بندي متفاوت ارائه شده است با يكديگر

1388 بر /3/ تطبيق داده شده است. به گونه اي كه آمار تفكيكي شهرستانهاي استان (ارائه شده در تاريخ 25

1388 بر روي سايت /4/ روي سايت رسمي وزارت كشور) با آمار تفكيكي صندوق ها (ارائه شده در تاريخ 2

رسمي وزارت كشور) مقايسه شده است كه متأسفانه در 24 استان كشور آمار منتشره وزارت كشور داراي

مغايرت مي باشد. كه اين مغايرت آراء از يك رأي تا 29 هزار رأي قابل مشاهده است. به نحوي كه به نظر

مي رسد آراي تفكيكي شهرستا نها از مجموع آراي صندوق هاي آن شهرستان حاصل نشده است. اين فرضيه

وقتي قابليت توجه بيشتري م ييابد كه آزمون فوق در تك تك شهرستانهاي هر يك از استانها انجام م يگيرد.

نتايج آزمون فرضيه فوق در سطح شهرستانها نيز نشان از مغايرت آماري آراي فوق در 78 شهرستان كشور

مي باشد. مجموع آراي اين شهرستانها كه عملا از اين روش خدشه دار بودنش به اثبات رسيده است،

11/175/853 رأي مي باشد.

-2 وجود ابهام در ميزان مشاركت در استانها شهرستانها و بخشهاي مختلف:

يكي ديگر از ابهامهاي موجود در ميزان آراي ارائه شده توسط وزارت محترم كشور اخذ آرا بيشتر از

واجدين شرايط اخذ رأي در برخي استانها، شهرستانها و بخ شهاي كشور است. به نحوي كه در سطح استاني،

استانهاي يزد و مازندران بيش از صددرصد واجدين شرايط شركت در انتخابات آراي مأخوذه به صندوق هاي

آن استان واريز شده است. آزمون فرضيه فوق در سطح بخشهاي بسيار قابل توجه است به نحوي كه 60

شهرستان و 192 بخش از بخشهاي مختلف كشور با بيش از صددرصد مشاركت مواجه بوده اند. اين افزايش

مشاركت از 100 ٪ تا 211 ٪ قابل ملاحظه است. همچنين مشاركت بالاي 95 ٪ در 125 شهرستان ديده

مي شود. وزير محترم كشور در استدلال افزايش مشاركت استان مازندران، مسافرپذيري آن استان و در مورد

استان يزد، تعداد دانشجويان را عنوان نموده است كه به نظر استدلال ارائه شده داراي پايه و اساس منطقي

نمي باشد بطوريكه ملاك قرار دادن دانشجويان، اصولا در شهرهاي مركز استان و استانهاي برخوردار نظير

24

تهران، اصفهان، فارس، آذربايجان شرقي و . . . بيشتر قابليت تحقق دارد نه در استان يزد ضمن اينكه ميزان

مشاركت در بخشهايي از استان يزد نظير شهرستان يزد و ميبد كه بيشترين تراكم جمعيت دانشجو را دارا

مي باشند به ترتيب 84 ٪ و 90 ٪ مي باشد و افزايش مشاركت فوق خلاف تصور وزير محترم كشور در

بخشهايي است كه داراي مراكز دانشگاهي پرجمعيت و قابل توجه نيستند. در خصوص استان مازندران نيز

فرضيه فوق از استحكام لازم برخوردار نيست به نحوي كه با توجه به بررسي وضعيت استا نهايي نظير گيلان

كه ميزان سفر طبق آمار رسمي دولت نيز بيشتر از مازندران است اين رويداد اتفاق نيافتاده و بخشهايي كه

افزايش مشاركت در آنها مشهود است مربوط به بخشهاي مسافرپذير آخر هفته نيست. ضمن اينكه با توجه به

اعطاء سهميه بنزين تابستان در اوايل تير ماه و برگزاري امتحانات دانشگاه ها به ويژه كنكور سراسري احتمال

انجام اين ميزان سفر آن هم در روز انتخابات كمتر قابل تصور است. با توجه به موارد فوق روايي انتخابات در

3 رأي از مجموعه آراي مأخوذه در اين /898/ بخش هاي 192 گانه ذكر شده با ابهام روبرو بوده و عملا 277

جهت با ابهام مواجه است.

از سوي ديگر اگرچه چنين فرضيه اي در چنان گستردگي نامربوط بوده و نيازمند اثبات مستدل است، با

اينحال همين استدلال مبين يك دسيسه نظام يافته براي تقلب بوده است، زيرا:

نفر از شهر الف به شهر ب رفته باشند، در اين صورت بايد از جمعيت واجد شرايط در n اگر فرض كنيم

شهر الف عده زيادي را كم كنيم، در نتيجه شمار آراء در همين شهر الف بيش از واجدين شرايط خواهد شد. به

عبارت ديگر، توجيه وزارت كشور، سبب مي شود كه ساير شهرها را هم به همين نسبت آلوده ببينيم و اين

دليل است بر اينكه همه شهرها بايد به نسبتي از اين آلودگي سهمي داشته باشند، يعني تقلب نظام يافته در

سرتاسر كشور جريان داشته است. به زبان ديگر، براي اينكه توجيه وزارت كشور درست باشد، بايد شهرهايي

معرفي شوند كه در آنها مردم اصولا ميل زيادي به رأي دادن نداشته اند و نسبت مشاركت كمتر از 60 ٪ بوده

است. اين ادعا توهين به مردم و برخلاف جريان مشهود در سرتاسر كشور است. اين ادعا بايد نشان دهد كه

جمعيت متراكم در يك شهر از بوميان اين مناطق هستند.

-3 تمركز آراي يك كانديدا در استانهاي مشخص

اصولا در پديده هاي اجتماعي و آمارهاي منطقي همه اعداد و ارقام مي بايست از يك منطق تبعيت نمايند

به نحوي كه حتي در تحليل هاي آماري مشاهدات عيني دور از منطق به دليل استدلال فوق به عنوان

مشاهدات عيني پرت از مجموعه آمارها خارج م يشود. بر همين اساس تمركز آراي يك كانديدا در يك شهر،

بخش و يا روستا به نوعي آن هم بدون دلايل كافي عملا نشان از ابهام بسيار زياد در آراي مورد نظر است.

يكي از مهمترين مصاديق اين موضوع تمركز آراي جناب آقاي احمد ينژاد در صندوق هاي مشخص استانهاي

مختلف كشور است كه در 307 صندوق رأي ايشان بالاي 99 ٪ است كه اين موضوع مبين ريختن آراي

يكنواخت به صورت كاملا ناشيانه به صندوقها است. تعداد صندوق هايي كه آقاي احمد ينژاد بالاي 95 درصد

1 رأي است. /262/ رأي دانسته است، 2233 صندوق معادل 226

25

اين موضوع وقتي بيشتر نمايان مي شود كه در برخي از شهرستانها، بخشها و صندو قهاي آراي افراد شاغل

در ستادهاي تبليغاتي سه نامزد ديگر شمارش نشده و اعلام آراء فوق خلاف گزارشات ناظرين در پاي

صندوقهاي فوق است.

-4 صندوق هاي حاوي آراي كل مضرب صد

از آنجا كه احتمال وقوع آراي كل مضرب صد در هر صندوق يك درصد است و از سوي ديگر تعرفه ها به

شكل بسته هاي صدتايي در اختيار صندوق ها قرار مي گرفته است اگر درصد صندوق هاي با آراي كل مضرب

صد، در هر بخش يا شهرستان بيش از يك درصد باشد شائبه ريختن تعرف ههاي باقيمانده در پايان اخذ رأي به

نام نامزد خاص را مي افزايد، مثلا در بخش رومشگان از توابع كوهدشت لرستان در 49 درصد از صندوق ها،

آراي كل ريخته شده به داخل صندوق مضرب صد است. در شهرستان كوهدشت لرستان نسبت صندوق هاي

مضرب صد به كل، 29 ٪؛ در بخش بزمان ايرانشهر، 29 ٪؛ در بخش نرماشير بم 29 ٪؛ در شهرستان سلسله

لرستان، 23 ٪؛ در شهرستان دلفان لرستان 20 ٪؛ در شهرستان فلاورجان اصفهان، 19 ٪؛ در بخش مارگون

بويراحمد، 18 ٪ و در شهرستان عنبرآباد كرمان، 14 ٪ بوده است.

-5 مقايسه آراء صندو قهاي ثابت و سيار

از ابتدا يكي از نقاط بدگماني، احتمال تقلب وسيع در صندوق هاي سيار به دليل جابه جايي مكرر و كنترل

كمتر بود. فرضيه تقلب خيز بودن صندو قهاي سيار در تنها موردي كه وزارت كشور آمار تفكيكي صندو قهاي

ثابت و سيار را ارائه داده اثبات گرديده است. براساس آمار وزارت كشور در شهرستان قائنات از استان خراسان

جنوبي در صندوق هاي سيار درصد رأي آقاي احمدي نژاد بين 80 تا 90 ٪ است در حالي كه در صندوق هاي

٪ ثابت رأي ايشان بين 40 تا 50 ٪ است. اين در حالي است كه ميزان مشاركت در اين شهرستان 101

واجدين شرايط بوده است. اين شهرستان را م يتوان به عنوان نمونه اي از مقايسه آمار صندوق هاي ثابت و

سيار در ساير شهرستان ها به حساب آورد.

-6 در شهرستان دلفان لرستان، حداقل 19 صندوق ديده مي شود كه ميزان رأي آقاي احمد ينژاد در آنها

بين 75 ٪ تا 100 ٪ است. اين صندو قها حتي يك رأي باطله ندارند. در اكثر اين صندو قها رأي آقايان كروبي

و رضايي كه لر هستند صفر يا يك است. برخي صندو قها هست كه نه رأي باطل هاي هست و نه هيچ يك از

نامزدها حتي يك رأي آورده اند بلكه 100 ٪ آراء آنها متعلق به آقاي احمدي نژاد بوده است. در اين شهرستان

ميزان مشاركت 100 ٪ بوده است.

-7 يكي از مصاديق اين شواهد را مي توان در نتايج انتخابات شهرستان عنبرآباد استان كرمان مشاهده

نمود. در شهرستان مذكور ميزان آراي اخذ شده معادل 110 درصد واجدين شرايط است و براساس آمار اعلام

شده از سوي وزارت كشور 95 درصد آراء به آقاي احمدي نژاد تعلق داشته است. جالب توجه آنكه تعجيل و

ذوق زدگي مسئولان ستاد انتخابات وزارت كشور باعث شده تا نكات قابل تأملي را در خصوص آراي اين

شهرستان در سايت اين وزارتخانه در معرض ديد هموطنان قرار دهند. از جمله آنكه:

26

- در برخي از صندوقها تمامي آراء به آقاي احمدي نژاد تعلق دارد و سه كانديداي ديگر داراي

هيچ رأيي نيستند. مثلاً در صندوق شماره 13 بخش جبالبارز جنوبي تمامي 307 رأي، در صندوق شماره

14 تمامي 700 رأي، در صندوق شماره 16 تمامي 335 رأي و در صندوق شماره 18 تمامي 600 رأي و

در صندوق شماره 21 تمامي 1000 رأي به آقاي احمدي نژاد تعلق دارد.

- در برخي ديگر از صندوقهاي اين شهرستان، مجموع آراي سه نامزد ديگر تك رقمي است.

20 و 30 بخش مركزي از كل آراي ريخته شده به صندوق، سه نامزد ،16 ، مثلاً در صندوق شماره 13

24 و ،22 ،19 ،11 ،7 ،4 ، ديگر مجموعاً 7 رأي كسب كرده اند. وضعيت مشابهي در صندوقهاي شماره 3

25 بخش جبالبارز جنوبي و صندوق شماره 3 بخش اسماعيلي مشاهده م يشود.

"Neda" was not alone: Mostafa Ghaniyan's head was smashed by a bullet too!

Mostafa Ghaniyan is another one of those "hooligans" that Mr Ahmadinejad and his cronies accuse of vandalism!!!!

Mostafa Ghaniyan was a graduate engineering student of [one of] Tehran University[ies] who had just gone on the rooftop of his house to see what the gunfire was about. He was shot and died in his father's arm.  His father was probably forced to make a statement on IRNA (the islamic republic's news agency). In a skewed manner, he denied that he had made earlier statements pointing finger at anyone in his son's death. He stated that he had made a legal complaint about the killers [who were the "basijis"]. He also had stated that he was a "revolutionary" himself in 1979, and that he wouldn't let the legacy of the revolution be tarnished by lies and distortions--which he considered against the principle of Islam [notice that this is the same moto Mousavi is repeating in all his statements.]

Mostafa's father thanked god for having given him the opportunity to have raised his 26 years old son to have been a faithful, god-knowing, sociable, kind and ethical individual. His father describes his son as religious, humble, charming, and principled. Someone who had the merits to give the gift of his only possession, life, for Islam, Koran and for the integrity and independence of his country, and the freedom of the honorable Iranians.   

(father's statement in full in Persian)

Also remembering the 18 year old Ashkan Sohrabi

Ashkan was a teenager who was killed on Saturday, in  the vicinity of his parent's home. According to his sister, he was talented in school and in sports. He was a caring, compassionate and fun boy. He wanted to keep all happy, and despite his youth he made wise decisions.

He had a black belt in Taekwondo, with a few medals under his belt. He came home and told his family that the neighborhood was under riot! He just went out to see what was going on. two hours later, his friends called that he was shot and transfered to "Rasool-e Akram" hospital. He has three shots in the chest! He had died immediately. The security forces were present in his funeral that took place yesterday (Tuesday June 30.) His sister refused to discuss further ...

"Neda" was not the only one: remembering Kianush Aasa

Kianush Aasa was buried yesterday. He was 27 years old. He was finishing the last year of his master's degree in Petrochemical Engineering in Tehran's university of Science and technology (Elm o San'at). He was gunned down by a bullet fired from a so-called "Basiji". After he is shot, his body is immediately removed from the scene. No one knows what happened to it until recently that after frantic searching of all Tehran hospitals, the family has been able to find it in a Tehran morgue. He was returned to his hometown, Kermanshah (which is one of the Kurish provinces of Iran.)

Kianush's funeral was not advertise, and his family was prevented from talking about the manner of his death. However, a crowd of 6000 accompanied his body to the graveyard. The crowd was accompanied by heavy but uneventful security presence.

Kianush was an environmental activist, and a member of an evironmental protection NGO in his hometown, Kermanshah. He loved music and played Tanbur well. His thesis supervisor, Dr. Ashrafizadeh was the only person to give a speech in his funeral. He mentioned that among many qualities, he was a top student, a genius who will not be easily replaced.

Kianush was gunned down in Freedome Square, June 15, 2009! 

Have you heard that the 10% of recount has INCREASED Ahmadinejad's vote and decreased Mousavi's?

This picture is published by a pro-Ahmadinejad news agency, but they forgot to "fold" the ballots before taking their pictures! Such tidy votes!!!!!!!

Brainwashing the gullible to think Ahmadinejad's a "holy" figure ... by religious bullshit

For the fundamentalist fascist who calls himself Pen Name.
