Thousands arrested in Tehran after the schools reopen

Friday 23 September 2005

The regime's brutal disciplinary forces over the recent days arrested thousands of innocent Iranian people, calling them hoodlums and scum. The regime, which considers the reopening of the schools and universities as a threat, has deployed its security agents all around Tehran in order to make their presence felt. Revolutionary Guard Zaareii, the Commander of the disciplinary forces of the regime in Tehran spoke at a gathering of other squadron leaders; he shared his apprehension of the reopening of the schools and what troubles can lay ahead due to the commencement of the scholastic year.

"Mobilizing security forces, secret police and disciplinary teams around schools is of utmost importance and must at all times be kept in place. The operation, entitled 'ZAFAR' has been so far effective in the province of Tehran. Since the second week of September 3000 people have been arrested and 8450 others have been ordered to appear in court. Out of those, 11 already had been detained before and 227 have already been sent to jail." Zaareii confessed that a large majority of the detainees are between the ages of 25 and 29. He also said that disciplinary forces are permitted to invade houses and stores [at their discretion] that have satellite dishes, arresting the owners. Regarding this point he added: "We have so far arrested 12500 people for the socially corruptive and disorderly use of 3000 satellite dishes."

Last week, revolutionary guard Ahmadi-Moghad'dam who is the Executive Director of the entire squadron admitted that these squadrons would be indeed, permanent fixtures in all learning institutions across the country, soon.

When the tyranny in Iran collapses, GWB will be repsonsible, and it will be the one time the MSM won't blame him.

Isn't this what Hillary wants to do with the socially corruptive and disorderly use of the internet?

Or maybe to ride down a snow-covered hill on.

I know that feeling, but about 60 million people live in Iran. Over 12 million in Tehran alone. What country would accept even tens of thousands?

"The young people hate us so we will abuse them. That should fix the problem."

These are not the actions of a strong government backed by the people.

Nope. It's the actions of a gov't that feels it's losing control and needs to tighten up on the reigns.

The Chinese are still there, and they shot several thousand with machineguns and tanks while the world sat around and watched. Now we trade with them as much as they please. Waiting for murdering tyrants with large paramilitaries of fanatics to collapse through bad public relations is slow business. Enriching uranium is quicker.

I was thinking of China when I wrote my post. My strongest thought was that it was time to call Jimmy Carter. He could solve the mullah problem in Iran. He knows everything.
