With all the repressive measures recently taken, I was convinced that the student movement in Iran would not be able to commemorate the National Student Day this year, but I was wrong. One day later than the anniversary date, the Iranian students showed that Iran's student movement is still alive:
On Youtube
AFP: Iran students protest amid heavy security
Radio Free: 'Pseudo-Students' And Shenanigans
CBS: Students Rally For Democracy In Iran

But has anyone seen a coverage from Ayatollah BBC?
This weblog was created to act as a platform for the voice of secular pro-democracy activists in and outside Iran who are struggling against the religious dictatorship of the Islamic clerics in Iran.

No, but they did post a video of a clearly premeditated protest organized by either the IRGC (speah-pasderan) or daftar-e rahbar.
It really is absurd and frustrating that they would post such a piece of propaganda meant to win the hearts and minds of Arabs in the IRI's imperial quest.
Just listen to the mullah at the end, he is clearly reciting something he was told to say and can barely remember it. Not to mention that all the protesters look like basijis!!
So yes, I am in line with the idea that the BBC Persian service has lost a good chunk of their credibility. Check out this screenplay the BBC calls a protest:

You see everyone, Barmakid can say sensible things some of the time :)
It's interesting to consider who they are calling a diktator. Supposedly Khamenei was scheduled to visit Daneshgahe elm va san'at and then canceled, presumably in light of the student mobilization.
Can we then construe that the "dictator" in question may not have been Ahmadinejad but the Ayatollah-in-Chief himself?
Ayatollah BBSakineh has been covering Basijis' tiny protests in front of the Swiss and Saudi embassies. As usual, Mullahs fund BBC and BBC gives them cover.
Clearly then the people of Iran want freedom. And we can agree that Iraq is now free of its dictatorship because of America's invasion. So Azarmehr: Do you think Iran should also get an American invasion? That's the question you haven't answered yet!
Hidden Author,
I haven't answered that question??
NO, I don't think Iran should be invaded. I thought I made my views on this clear in the past. I don't know how else I can put it.
But invading Iraq is OK? What I don't get is: Do you have a double standard or some other standard you're not telling me about?
Its not double standard at all.
SOme invasions are justified. When the allies invaded Europe to liberate it from Hitler it was justified. When the Vietnamese invaded Cambodia to liberate it from Pol Pot it was justified, to invade North Korea to liberate it from the terrible repression there is justified. IN these examples there is no civil movement, the governments have the complete control and often involved in mass murder of their citizens or as in Pol Pot and Hitler even genocide.
Bomb the Iranian leadership and the people of will Iran will rise up

To 'AllianceForDemocracy' in Iran
I don't mind you advertising your site here but at least have the courage to say who you are or you will remain a cyberspace organisation with two anonymous members for ever.
AllianceForDemocracy in Iran:
You hae not even copy/pasted Reza Pahlavi's message correctly:
بارديگر فرياد آزاديخواھی و حق طلبی
جوانان آزاده و آگاه ايرانی از سنگر فرھنگ ساز دانشگاه
را آشفته ساخت. « مردم ستيز و ايران خوار » برخاست و بانگ رسای آن خواب سنگين سرکوبگرانِ
بود که جز خفقان، فقر و ظلم ارمغانی ديگر « انقلابی » آنچه در دانشگاه ھا گذشت، جنبش فرزندانِ
برای آنھا نداشت.
:)))))
Did you not read it after you copy/pasted it???
With friends like you, no wonder he feels so lonely!
Azarmehr
Thank you for pointing out the printing mistake.
There is no need for sarcasm unless you want to more identified with your friend Bar_Man_Kiri more than necessary.
So who is in your 'Alliance'?
