Γράμμα από το Ιράν

Στο Ιράν μετά τις εκλογές, όπου απ' ότι φάνηκε με μη νόμιμους τρόπους ο Αχμαντινετζάντ ξαναπήρε την εξουσία, έχουν ξεσπάσει σοβαρά επεισόδια μεταξύ κράτους και αντιφρονούντων. Ήδη υπάρχουν αρκετά θύματα, έχουν γίνει επιθέσεις σε νοσοκομεία και οι επικοινωνίες είναι κομμένες. Η φίμωση του τύπου αλλά και του διαδικτύου σε τέτοιες περιπτώσεις κρίνεται απαραίτητη. Μια φίλη μας έκανε forward το παρακάτω mail από τον Armin Mo (για ευνόητους λόγους δεν είναι το κανονικό του όνομα) όπου προσπαθεί μέσα στο Ιράν να ενημερώσει τον έξω κόσμο για τις βαρβαρότητες που διαπράτονται στο εσωτερικό του Ιραν. Θέλουμε να σας ενημερώσουμε να διαβάσετε το παρακάτω γράμμα ως μαρτυρία και όχι ως διασταυρωμένη δημοσιογραφική είδηση. Εξάλλου τέτοιες ώρες τέτοια λόγια. Ο Armin είπε πως θα προσπαθήσει να μας στέλνει ανταπόκριση κάθε μέρα.

Ενημερώνουμε πως το φωτογραφικό υλικό είναι αρκετά σκληρό.

Hi my Dearest friend.


You know I have changed my name in Face book. The situation inside
Iran unfortunately is getting harder and the censor is going to ban
everything. From the day before election (Thursday) SMS is down and
our mobile phone doesn't work. Recently the most dangerous military
inside Iran, which is called Sepah, (I want to emphasize that they are
military group and they are not the Police) said we will arrest
everyone who are using internet to spread news from Iran. From 4 days
ago I am using filter breaker software to have access to facebook.
Other websites such as cnn, bbc, and almost all protest's websites and
news papers are blocked. I really don't feel good with this situation
and unfortunately I am not hopeful about future. Many people say they
are punishing people because of what they have done (because it was
not what they wanted)


In Iran people says it is "coup de ta" and not an election. Because
before the election starts they switched off the SMS and they said
from the day after election every gathering more than 4 is forbidden
and also postponed all universities exams. if they didn't want to
fabricate results from where they knew that people will come to
streets to protest? Is there any other reason for those thing from
before the start of election?

Yesterday in only one hospital, which is my university hospital my
friend who was an intern there told me 18 people died. (After got shot
by the military groups (and not the Police)
We don't have access to any other media else than state TV and they
are not fair at all. The state TV obviously supports Ahmady nejad and
says the people who were killed was some risky people! While in the
movies you can see while they were calm and leaving the gathering, the
military group (and not the Police) shot them with military and army
weapons. (Such as AK41)


My friends who they live abroad are translating news from Iran in
English and you can find that news here: www.en.balatarin.com
I should add the state authority also banned foreigner reporters to
leave their hotel and they don't let them to report anything from
Iran. You can find news about this event in the CNN today.
"A crackdown on dissent continued, with more arrests of opposition
figures reported, and the country's most powerful military force - the
Revolutionary Guard - saying that Iranian Web sites and bloggers must
remove any materials that "create tension" or face legal action." It
is From yahoo news.

What you said about your heart is with us, is the most important
thing for us. With this, we feel we are not alone and our voice is
heard through the world.
2 days ago the police battle students of my university from 3.5 am
and until 5 am while there were in their Dormitory. they battle them
and killed 7 people ( until now their family don't have their corpus )
and many others injured. Their properties are broken using axes and 70
people were arrested. They also through many other students from the
building (for example from the window) out and from height of
something like 7-10 meters and their bones were broken.
My English is not good in explaining such things because I have not
experiences to learn the appropriate words about this kind of news, so
please don't see my mistakes in translation.
Maybe I could not visit facebook anymore.
Just see the movies in youtube that I share in facebook and follow
news from en.balatarin.com

After we heard European parliament supported people in Iran we really
felt better, the worst thing for us is to be hurt and not allowed to
say anything! They hurt us, they killed many and from today we are not
allowed to leave our home from 8 pm and also they say you should not
say anything. If we say something they easily say you are rioter and
they arrest us and hit us. They don't let the reporters to spread any
news and this is awful.
I will send more news to your Email address.
Thanks again for supporting us with your sympathy.
