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...
Oh damn...I love it! Here are real people in a real struggle against real tyranny - not like the whiney lefties we have here and in Europe who can't take the fact that they lost an election (and are about to lose another.)
Don't get me wrong, I would LOVE to see Iran a free nation. But even if they do manage to overthrow the mullahs, Iran will continue to be an Islamic country, with all the sociological baggage that comes with that oppressive, totalitarian, hateful religion.
Could Iran without theocratic leadership become what we Americans would call a free nation? I would like to believe so, but in all sincerity, I doubt if that is possible without overthrowing the yoke of Islam from their hearts and minds.
Since the Islamic penalty for apostacy is death, I am not expecting much.
That's the key - I hope the people can win their freedom.
What textbooks are you using?
It would be a first. The Russians weren't able to overthrown the KGB and secret police - maybe they still haven't. The Iraqis couldn't overthrow the secret police. The Germans couldn't overthrow the Gestapo. I'd be surprized if a popular revolt could overthrow a sitting tryanny, rather than one based an ocean away, as was the case in the American Revolution.
is it like this american demonstration???
