Thousands Rush to Southern Tehran to Help Demonstators

Students for Iranian Democracy ^ | June 20, 2003 | Information Service Staff Report

[ewing]

Thousands and thousands have rushed toward the southern poor suburbs of Tehran in order to help or support, by their presences, those who defied the Iranian regieme this afternoon in order to make a massive protest in the localities of Nassim Shahr and Eslam Shahr.

Heavy traffic jams are blocking most major traffic arteries which is unprecented for this area and shows the cement of unity solidifying between the different layers of the population.

Violent clashes rocked the area earlier in the afternoon as groups of demonstrators tried to approach the warehouses of the GTC where food and different items are stocked by the government.

The situation on the terrain is very tense and unusual as thousands of non residents are in the area waiting for the dark night in order to start the 11th consecutive night of protests.

The Student Movement Coordination Committee for Democracy in Iran reported that the demontrators have changed their tatics, simultaneously organizing small protest actions in various places and thus forcing Islamic militant groups aligned with regieme leader Ali Khamenei to disperse.

People in the major cities are helping demonstrators escape police, giving them shelter in their houses.

I don't think the Mullahs would approve.

Would the students settle for a townhall meeting with an audience packed with pro-government citizens?

Freedom and Liberty is an awe inspiring thing to watch grow isn't it?

Just like 10 years ago in the Soviet States, this time now its the Muslim World!

I get anxious about the danger but know it is worth the danger.

That is how I got in, with the shorter main address-then went to the media page.

Amen to that!

The collapse of Communism was triggered by the Gipper's SDI. The collapse of terrorist regimes has been triggered by Dubya's "unilateral" liberation of Iraq (and Afghanistan).

(And what did Slick Willie accomplish in between?)

Thanks for the post. Great sight isn't it? We are watching history!

Interesting guerilla tatics by the students demonstrating/rioting against the government in small groups at night and then hiding in sympathetic citizens homes.

Kind of like an urban Tehran 'Underground Railroad'-they are everywhere and nowhere..

I'll keep silently praying that yet another tyrannical, terrorist-sponsoring government goes down... this time hopefully without military conflict. [fingers crossed]

[IGOTMINE]

We need to send, in the following order:

1) Weapons and ammo 2) Translations of the Bill of Rights and the Constitution in Farsi.

The rest will take care of itself.

It looks like the "popular" government isn't so popular!
Oops!

[areafiftyone]

Even on the website some of the links don't work. Like the forum link. I wonder if the Iranian government is doing something.
