by ActivistChat.com Initial reports from news services such as SMCCDI, peykeiran.com, and hambastegimeli.com as well as phone calls, emails and faxes from Iranian citizens indicate that the regime of Mullahs in Iran continues to arrest and kill student leaders in a last ditch effort to quell the impending freedom revolution.
Last week it was reported that Kianoosh Sanjari, a famous student activist was found in a park with his wrists slashed and an overdose of pills. At this time, there are varying accounts of his ultimate whereabouts, and his fate has yet to be confirmed. For those who have not yet seen the PBS Frontline Documentary Forbidden Iran, it contains film footage of a brief interview with Kianoosh.
Peykeiran.com has also reported that the student leader Reza Nadimifar was found dead in the mountainous region of Northern Tehran. A translation of the Persian report has been conducted by an ActivistChat.com Forum contributor and is as follows:
The lifeless corpse of Reza Nadimifar, head of the Islamic Students Association of Rajai University was found last Thursday, in the mountainous region of Golab Dareh in the north of Tehran. He had left his house on Tuesday, never returning. Nadimifar who was born in Dezfool, had endured many hardships during his years as a student such as political imprisonment and torture all of which he endured as a member of the generation who refused to compromise his beliefs and continued to fight for his humanistic ideals. Now he is the most recent martyr of the generation who wasn't willing to sellout their beliefs. There is still no information about how he died or the cause of death.
Reports have also surfaced that Asghar Chegini, a 20 year old student of Azad university in Tabriz, who worked as a cab driver to make ends meet, was found dead, shot four times while working.
Events now occurring within Iran are important because they are the best example of an entire nation of people in the Middle East who are actively fighting and in many cases dieing in their struggle for freedom. To this day, the regime in Iran is not only one of the biggest abusers of human rights throughout our world, but is also the biggest state-sponsor of terrorism.
The Iranian people continue to fight against the world's worst terrorists with no outside help except for an occasional word of wishful support. Many believe that in order to spread freedom, defeat fanatical ideologies, and achieve an overall better world, it will take more than political rhetoric, benefit of the doubt nuclear appeasement, and a maintenance of the status quo, which can be defined as being the absence of an effective policy on Iran. The people believe it will take leadership and they long for such a person who can achieve these noble goals through ethical policies and actions independent of political punditry and Presidential elections.
