NICOSIA [MENL] -- Pro-democracy unrest has spread throughout Iran.
The Iranian opposition reported clashes between Kurdish pro-democracy forces and authorities in western Iran. The opposition said battles took place in Baneh, Mahabad, Marivan, Piranshahr and Sanandaj.
The clashes took place on April 6 and several of the demonstrators were injured and dozens of others were arrested. Opposition sources said police used rubber bullets and tear gas to disperse the protests.
"In retaliation, many protesters inflicted damages to security patrol cars and public buildings," the SMCCDI opposition group said in a statement. "Armed masked protesters took over several security buildings and were able to disarm some of the security forces."
Later, authorities were said to have sent reinforcements from Marivan to restore control of the buildings. The opposition sources said the pro-democracy demonstrations were inspired by elections in Iraq.
There was no independent confirmation of the opposition report. Western diplomatic sources, however, have reported an increase in unrest near the Iranian-Iraqi border.
Not really. There needs to be a huge major uprising like in Lebanon! Something to make the mullahs crap themselves!
You can bet they are already getting some.
thanks
what's likely to happen will be similar to lebanon ... the mullahs will run scared and kill a popular revolutionist or perhaps a massacre of several protesters and set the revolution into high gear
Why, whatever could you be referring to?
{wink, wink; nudge, nudge}
Oh, I imagine they are craping themselve already.
One notes that this would not be happening if the Kurds
in Iraq were still under Saddam's gun.
Keep praying for them everyone.
Thank you Jimmy Idot Carter for this mess.
Oh, I forgot, you, Jimmy, won the Nobel Peace award, an award created by Mr. Nobel who invented dynamite.
We can lay the entire Middle East mess at the feet of Jimmy Carter.
True, and much more around the world. What a useless and very dangerous idiot.
He certainly the worst President in US history.
No argument here.
Thank you for your reply
I wonder if "Ask the Imam" will provide a description of the correct way for the Mooslime idiots to do so.
"Imam, how do I crap myself?" Low comedy is sometimes the best there is.
He is a big disgrace!
I was reading a book on Iran-US relation called "The Persian Puzzle" and the author is one of the Dems, himself.
He mentioned in his book that nobody (EU Governments and Japan) cared about Jimmy the crap during the hostage crisis and nobody followed his lead seriously to put economic/oil embargo on Iran.
