Tens Die in Smash of Rebellion in Marivan

SMCCDI (Information Service)

Feb 15, 2004

Tens have died and injured in the deadly smashing of a riot which embrazed, today, the western City of Marivan.

Confirmed reports are stating about the degree of extreme violence and the use of deadly force, by the Islamic regime's heliported forces sent to back the ground forces engaged in the repression of the local demonstrators who had started a peaceful action in order to protest against the persistent repression in Iran. These forces were sent as the repressive ground forces witnessed the demonstrators' armed support by activists of the "Komela" and even some members of the local Bassij and Military having rallied astonishingly to the people.

Tens have been reported as killed and injured among the demonstrators and the regime forces and several public buildings have been damaged.

The situation is very tense in the city and the region, especially in the cities of Baneh and Saghez. Many Iranian Kurds are planning to start again the armed struggle against the regime.

Loads of ammunitions have been transferred to the region following the deadly bombings of last week in N. Iraq and which resulted in the deaths of tens of Iraqi Kurds.

The Komala which was an independentist group, few years ago, has claimed its attachment to Iran and intends to help all Iranians to free themselves of the tyrannical rule of the Islamic republic.

A renew of Guerilla war in the region will increase the armed actions across Iran as especially more young Iranians are starting to believe that this will be the only way to oust the mullahs from power.

This is a very good sign. Having the military join the people will be important in the people's struggle against the regime in days ahead.

Remember it was the Shahs firing on demostrators in 1978 that triggered the Islamic Revoultion. Maybe history is about to repeat.

Reading between the lines...do the Kurds contend Iran was behind the blasts, and they're responding?

And what about the Turkish blasts...links to Iran confirmed?

Mass media followed every single negative thing the Shah did, especially the BBC who was instrumental in his downfall... Where is the BBC when these things happen in Iran now?
