Voices from Iran
By Soudeh in TehranOne of several first-hand accounts published in the Wall Street Journal I have never seen such a huge number of diverse people protesting in Iran. People are really angry and refuse to be patient. Ahmadinejad's government challenged our honor. How can we trust anything when the government perpetrates such a big lie? They don't have pity on anyone. Some of the police cannot speak Farsi. I saw one of them beating a man as he cursed in Arabic. People say they are from Hezbollah. These men barge into homes and threaten people by calling their families. And they are savage against peaceful demonstrators. Hospitals are full of people injured by the Military Guard, yet the Supreme Leader of Iran called us seditious. We just want the right to a real vote. This is the first time an American president did not interfere with Iran's situation -- and it's a good thing. In the past, U.S. support for the protestors led the Iranian government to punish the people more, accusing them of being spies for or taking money from the U.S. But I think Obama must hear the message of the protests: Ahmadinejad's government is a lie. Now click through and read the rest of it. Posted by: Mike 2009-06-19 |
