Iran's Disputed Election 2009

Iran's Disputed Election
Following friday June 22ND Presidential Election in IRAN, Tehran and other cities have seen the largest street protests and rioting since the 1979 Iranian Revolution. Supporters of reform candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi, upset at their announced loss and suspicions of voter fraud, took to the streets both peacefully and, in some cases, violently to vent their frustrations. Iranian security forces and hardline volunteer militia members responded with force and arrests, attempting to stamp out the protests.

Oh those who can't see the majesty of Islamic Republic of Iran : Whatever you say or do surely will lead to failure and you will never never see your satanic and dirty wishes to be realized . There is only one choice for you : To die of this constant anger
eric duhan 01-Feb-2010 17:04
This painting is inspired by the struggle of the Iranian people and relates the fact that you may imprison the body but never the mind and soul of a people. The moving 'towards the light', (the title of one of my brother Johnny's songs by the way) is an indication to all dictators that one day the truth will be known and the culprits will be seen for what they are. It is dedicated to the men women and children of Iran and other places in the world where intolerence is the norm. Secondly and particularly it is dedicated to those who have a different vision of love and who suffer capital punishment for the most beautiful of feelings.

Spirit of Iran

A young man lies in prison cell
The darkness is broken by coming day
He stirs his aching body
Grabs the wall and pulls himself upwards
Towards the light.

His eyes gleam in the brightness
His soul warms in the day
His crime, a folly, to those who hold him
His soul takes flight leaving his prison behind
Towards the light.

He sees the madness of his tormentors
He see the prison they are in
They cannot fly but rest attached to dogmas
that hold them fast and never let them fly
Towards the light.

Who is in prison? No, not he......

Down with diktator , the kudeta government of fucked ahmadinejad and the gaurd polices and private shirts of basij and sepah , kills and attack to people and wild behaviour like ass fucking in Iran's prisons , please save Iranian youth from these wild animals.
Down with Khamenehi.

خامنه ای قاتله ، ولایتش باطله
ما اهل کوفه نیستیم ، پشت یزید بایستیم


سرعت اینترنت در ایران نصف شده ، مرده شور سپاه پاسداران را ببرند که مخابرات را قبضه کرده و دارند همه ی تلفن ها را کنترل و شنود می کنند

they also start to decrease internet speed and filter the sites and control and hear to our private calling and phones and they also put many camera in street like above new street lamps upon the street to control people. We are not library mouses , we are not zoo monkeys , we are human , we awnt freedom.

“I shall pray”
"من دعا خواهم کرد"

سبز رنگ امید و آزادی ست
سبز رنگ طبیعت لطیف
سبز رنگ رویش است و حیات
سبز رنگ سرزمین من - ایرلند -
از این سال
هر روز سن پاتریک - روز مقدس ما -
که جهان در قلب من - و بر ژاکت تنم - با شبدری سبز می شود
من
پیراهنی به سبزی شبدر خواهم پوشید
و به ایران و گمشدهاش خواهم اندیشید
و دعا خواهم کرد برای روزی که تنفر در آنجا بمیرد
و برای روزهای جدیدی - که طلوع خواهند کرد -
دست به دعا خواهم ایستاد
و حکومت نوینی را انتظار خواهم کشید که
بروید
و آزادی و حقوق بشر را به تساوی میان همه قسمت کند
من دعا خواهم کرد
که انسان از بند دین فروشان برهد
و عشق نامیرای ایران زمین در دل ها شکوفه کند
- به سان گل سرخی در سبزه زار بهشت -
در پرتو پر از شکوه امید و آزادی
برای مردم ایران - در فکر و قلبشان -
من شاعری ایرلندی تبارم که واژه تنها سلاح من است

A friend translated for me into farsi so that this poem could be understood by more Iranians...
Freedom for the people of Iran, their minds and hearts.

Green is the colour of hope and freedom.
Green is the colour of soft nature.
Green is the colour of life and growth.
Green is the colour of my Country, Ireland.
Each day of our Saint, Patrick,
The world wears green.
In my heart and on my jacket from now on
I shall wear the green shamrock
I shall think of Iran abd her quest.
I shall pray that when the hatred is gone.
when the new day dawns.
When the new government prevails.
That freedom shall come.
That all human rights will
be respected.
That men and women shall be free from the constraints
of the theocrats.
That the ancient hearts and love of the land of Iran will
open like the rose in the gardens of paradise.
In the glorious light of freedom and hope.

Freedom for the people of Iran, their minds and hearts.
I am an Irish poet whose only wepons are his words.

I hate of Ahmadinejad and Iranian navy bosses who support him , ahmadinejad is a real satan , he must go to the hell , I am from Mazandaran and most of my friends and mazandaranian people hate of ahmadinejad special from the time they cut off our Gas in to winter 2008.

also we hate of Khamenehi , he is anti - islam and anti - humanity.
I and all of my family members have voted to Mousavi.

Mother of civilizations/ Father of knowledge/ Land where the people vote/ To be ignored by fellons/ Wisdom shows that the dictator may crush the man but never the idea/ May stamp on the growing seed/ Never distroying the tree of life which has taken root in the hearts of an ancient people/ Light will shine into the darkness of Teheran and the land will free itself from tyrants lies/

Now is the dangerous time.
Now there is torture in dark cells.
Now they try to divide you.
Be sure footed, be solid o people of Iran.
For now the dark men of the shadows claim their victims.
Hidden in places were the light of freedom does not shine.
Stay alert youth of Iran.
Stand fast women of Iran.
Fight on and on men of truth.

May freedom come for you all in Iran.I live in the USA and protest are always one place or another in the country but we are not beaten or killed for expressing out freedom.Freedom of Speech should be for everyone.To the people of Iran, don't give up and let your voice be heard! Sooner or later this suppresive government will be toppled.The world around you is watching this and a government like this CAN NOT have nuclear weapons.Another country will step in soon and when they do, that would be the Iran peoples best chance to topple this government. Be ready Iran! And my God bless you and yours..

Sorry, I was so captures by the pictures, that I didn’t realize immediately that you honestly stated they were not taken by you, but collected from other web sites.
The impact of the images is not diminished of course, but maybe it’s not the case to speak of photo-journalism in a strict way.
It was really interesting to see the images you have collected.
I hope that the unknown brave photographers who took them have not had any troubles.
Thank you for your documentary work.

Our prayers are with you all.

It takes a lot of guts to even carry a camera, much less use one, in an environment such as this. But without brave souls such as these the world would never know what really happens behind the curtains of brutal oppressions. People everywhere deserve to live free lives. Photography can often ensure that it happens because pictures simply don't lie.
Mike Noble 22-Jun-2009 22:01
I have tears in my eyes as I watch the real people of Iran straining to break free of a brutal and despotic regime - while the President of the United States parses his words so that he will be seen in the best light.
