Iranian Dictatorial Theocracy Restored

For the better part of ten days after the fake election, the world saw demonstrations in Iran that were totally unthinkable. The masses were coming into the streets and shouting their displeasure over the election and the attitude of their theological leaders. How can this happen in such a dictatorial and repressive environment, the world wondered. But alas, the powers that be put the clamps down!

The crowds were punished, people were beaten, and others such as NEDA were killed.

State Department officials monitoring events in Iran from Dubai have relayed back to Washington that Mousavi's Web site "Kalemah," his last link to the outside world, is completely shut down. They also noted reports on Iranian Web sites alleging that jailed Mousavi supporters have been tortured in an attempt to force them into TV "confessions" of a foreign-led plot against the Islamic regime.

All that is getting out (news-wise) now is what Twitter can produce! :-(

A newspaper with strong ties to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps has published a letter calling on Iran's Justice Minister to prosecute Nobel laureate Shirin Ebadi for allegedly violating Islamic and constitutional law through her human rights advocacy. Whatever the Iranian pro-democracy crowd lost, the world gained as insight into the repressiveness of the Iranian model.

Iranian media are reporting that ten percent of the ballot boxes will be recounted in the presence of the Guardian Council's post-election committee and media, with the findings released to the public. The U.S. officials in Dubai noted that former candidate Rezai's newspaper reports Karroubi has agreed to cooperate with the committee, while Mousavi has already rejected the Guardian Council's review and demanded a complete recount.

Mousavi's life is forever been altered and probably greatly reduced in tenure. How long can he stay alive?

Neda remains the clarion call until the day Mousavi takes her place.
