Regime "collects" votes" in remote villages

SMCCDI (Information Service)
Feb 20, 2004

Reports from some remotes villages of Mazandaran province are stating about an organized "collection" of "votes" by the Islamic regime's militiamen.

Villagers have been forced to vote as armed militiamen are presenting them ambulent ballot boxes and explaining them the "advantages" of their "participation".

The regime is using such process in order to compensate its fiasco in the cities which are under the watch of many foreign observers.

EXACTLY like the voting in Zimbabwe. Dictators all use the same tricks.

Oh, that's great!

Can we get that on the front page of USA Today?


"Villagers Forced to Vote at Gunpoint"

How about this for a headline for N.Y. Times?

Rather a different picture from this (movie):
