Tehran is the New Beijing

Let's be hopeful. Though demonstration is not the best way to solve a problem. Nevertheless, it is the only way people can use when there's nothing else they can do and they don't want to continue the lie.

Here's Mr. Mousavi's letter to Iranian people, in English

In the Name of God

Honorable people of Iran

The reported results of the 10th Iranians residential Election are appalling. The people who witnessed the mixture of votes in long lineups know who they have voted for and observe the wizardry of I.R.I.B (State run TV and Radio) and election officials. Now more than ever before they want to know how and by which officials this game plan has been designed. I object fully to the current procedures and obvious and abundant deviations from law on the day of election and alert people to not surrender to this dangerous plot. Dishonesty and corruption of officials as we have seen will only result in weakening the pillars of the Islamic Republic of Iran and empowers lies and dictatorships.

I am obliged, due to my religious and national duties, to expose this dangerous plot and to explain its devastating effects on the future of Iran. I am concerned that the continuation of the current situation will transform all key members of this regime into fabulists in confrontation with the nation and seriously jeopardize them in this world and the next.

I advise all officials to halt this agenda at once before it is too late, return to the rule of law and protect the nation’s vote and know that deviation from law renders them illegitimate. They are aware better than anyone else that this country has been through a grand Islamic revolution and the least message of this revolution is that our nation is alert and will oppose anyone who aims to seize the power against the law.

I use this chance to honor the emotions of the nation of Iran and remind them that Iran, this sacred being, belongs to them and not to the fraudulent. It is you who should stay alert. The traitors to the nation’s vote have no fear if this house of Persians burns in flames. We will continue with our green wave of rationality that is inspired by our religious learnings and our love for prophet Mohammad and will confront the rampage of lies that has appeared and marked the image of our nation. However we will not allow our movement to become blind one.

I thank every citizen who took part in spreading this green message by becoming a campaigner and all official and self organized campaigns, I insist that their presence is essential until we achieve results deserving of our country.

[ verse from in Quran: Why not trust in God, who has shown us our ways. We are patient in face of what disturbs us. Our resilience is in god. ]

Mir Hossein Mousavi

Once again, let's be hopeful, have faith in Humanity.

Hoping for GREEN in Iran

Iranian election comes really close on June 12th. The reformist Mr. Mousavi gets a chance to challenge the current president, as well as party hardliner, Mr. AhmediNejad. Being a student in the Unted States I know far too little, compared to our Mullah Mohammad Ali Abtahi, also known as "the blogging mullah", who wrote a new entry in his website

It is regretful if lie would be elected



I wish if some one could collect these days' short messages. After determining debates especially after those Mr. Ahmadi Nejad participated in them, all of short messages were related to obvious lying by some one who wants to be Iran's president for next 4 years. His lies about statistics and persons are too many to mention in webnevesht. Approaching to the election controversies grow so that any voice is not possible to hear. But in this election voice of lie are so loud that every body heard it. Again the only voice which had been heard among controversies was the voice of debates, especially attractive and serene debate between Mr. Mosavi and Mr. Karobi which mentioned most of statistics and statements of president are deceit. When people believe some one is lying, his re-election will be end of ethical values. Although in practice most of the values had been destroyed but such event can be institutionalized in country. Formal lying causes ruling downfall in all over the world. If in our honorable country lying causes to win the election, what will be the judgment of future generations about us. People have decided to make a change but how oppress to Iran and Iranian nation who try to replace decision of people by ways they know it very well.


----------------------------------------

It seems that there is a Green Revolution coming to the soorsteps of the Islamic Republic of Iran. In respond to my previous entry, it is yet another REVITALIZATION MOVEMENT, only that this one is at a much matured stage than the one happened in China in 1989. Personally, I would like to see some change in Iran, some more humanly approach to the art of governance instead of hatreds over hatreds snowballing between different cultures.

Please take some time to understand each other, people on the earth.

There's also an interesting promotional youtube video I think it might potentially be the new face of Iran.
