It is being reported by Azadi Tv (Iranian Satellite TV) that between 200,000 to 400,000 Iranians have started a demonstration in front of Tehran University in support of Azhura Khaleghe Yazdi and it is still going on as we report this.
Dr Yazdi has been claiming that the Iranian regime will end next week when he returns to Iran.
It was an anti-regime demonstration using the pretext of the victory of Iran in the battle to free the city of Abadan in Iran/Iraq war. Then the anti demonstration police force was called in and they fled because of overwhelming resistance of people, so other forces were called in but, as it has been reported the clashes became sporadic and the crowd moved from there towards Amirabad and.
We also heard on Azadi Tv from Mr. Yazdi himself that the force called "Pasdaran" have called him and supported him for his return this week to Iran and said that if anybody harms their Iranian brothers and sisters they will fight with them and will fully support people!
More information will be posted as it develops...
This is GREAT!
Prayers going up...
I strongly suspect that we already are. Better to cause the fall of the mad mullahs from within than expend our military by use of conventional force.
This would be great,but there have been failed demonstrations before,,maybe the fear of attack by the US-Israel and a carrot of aid-freedom-modern society will help grow this---good luck
Vote to maintain our sitting POTUS!
At this time THAT is the best we can do to help them.
Why do I feel like a tourist who just stepped in a fire-ant nest?
GOGOGOGOGO!!!!!!!
Wow!
God Bless, God Speed!
Now, wouldn't the overthrow of the Mad Mullahs make for an excellent October surprise?!!
BUMP FOR FREEDOM!
Yeah, Freedom BUMP.
...and Hot Running Water BUMP.
...and out of the stone-age BUMP.
...and real civil rights BUMP.
Bless these people!!
They are taking a big risk in doing this, even though the numbers are large. Has this been covered by any television media yet? I have been watching the Race :-)
(Ryan Newman in 2nd!.. that's m'dawg!)
I hope the world takes a good hard look and recognizes that, unlike some other Arab states, these people actually DON'T want a repressive Islamic regime.
The thing about Iran is, it's kind of a paradox, as far as I am concerned the enemy there is the Iranian government and the Mullahs, most of the Iranian people are some of the nicest people in the world, I have met some Iranians, they are 180 degrees opposite from their government (only feeling safe to even mention that fact because they now live in the US, and have great olve for the US by the way). Talk about a government that is totally NOT representative of the people.
Bones
Dont say this too loud... some FReepers think all muslims are worthless monsters and should be wiped from the face of the earth.
"I strongly suspect that we already are."
Those who so decry how easy it is to cross from Iran to Iraq seem to be blinded to the fact that it is a two-way door. The Bush Doctrine of pre-emption works on many levels. When will the Left wake up to the fact the the Iraqi War is VITAL to winning the War on Terror?
Agreed!
Hear Hear!!!!
I thought I was the only one with that view.
Prayers for the safety of the demonstrators going up.
ping!
Somehow I don't think this is what Hitlery was planning on when she promised there would be an October Surprise that would decide the election.
Prayers going out for the people of Iran!
