Deadly Clashes Rock Southern Iran
SMCCDI (Information Service) Feb 21, 2004
Deadly clashes rocked, today, Izeh located in southern Iran, as the regime's security forces entered in action in order to smash the local popular rally against the evident fraud in the sham elections.
Special heliported troops were sent from Ahwaz to back the local Bassij force which was unable to block the protesters from occupying several official buildings. Noise of heavy shoutings were heard in several areas as especially fire was open from sky against the demonstrators.
Several demonstrators, including Abbas Moossavi a local banned candidate who had contested the ballots, have been killed so far and tens of others are injured.
Angry crowd helped by masked freedom fighters have destroyed several patrols and take over the arms and ammunitions kept in the local Bassij center.
A chase and run guerilla war is taking place and the situation has been reported as chaotic while most roads have been blocked.

These tyrants would have created less chaos if they had just canceled elections. By holding these sham elections, they are just rubbing it in the collective faces of the populations of Iran and spurning their rage.
To: nuconvert
We can only hope this will catch fire and bring down the whole rotten edifice of the Islamic Republic.

Exactly. Let's hope the hardliners continue to "spurn their rage". That's how coups happen............

The only way this will succeed is if the rest of the country does the same. If they all start this at the same time there will not be enough forces to stop them. If it only happens in one area at a time, the mad mullahs can put it down.

This should be added to Breaking News.

It should be breaking news. I'm always amazed at how few freepers are interested in this. It's one of the biggest things going but very few will even look at these threads. Maybe it's because they don't think it's going to happen all that soon.
