digg this!We are at a critical point. In my opinion the content of this letter is very crucial and urgent. Please make sure you read it.
First, I apologize for the tone of my words. I write this letter in Tehran, in poor physical conditions and morale, on behalf of the Iranian people to Iranians outside Iran. I believe this matter is very important for the fate of Iran. As Napoleon said, only one step separates victory and defeat. We are exactly at that crucial step now.
Tonight, I was alone on the roof. It was just me and a young girl, a few houses away, who was shouting Allah-o-Akbar (God is great) with all her power. Her voice had something of Neda’s in it, so with all my remaining energy I shouted, screamed, “Don’t be afraid, Don’t be afraid, We are all together!”. But even I got tired after half an hour later, came down to my room, a little scared, a little frustrated. But I could still hear the girl shouting “Iranians with dignity, Support Support!”
These words are coming from the people’s heart here. These past days, I’ve been here and I have felt everything with my whole being. Here in Tehran, people are a little scared. They have murmured in people’s ears that Basij identifies the houses from which people shout and mobilizes night attacks. The video broadcast yesterday on CNN, where some women are screaming in a house has made the belief stronger. People are scared. Neda’s death has perplexed people. State media have started a sophisticated psychological warfare campaign. These days, they have put thugs everywhere, in every corner of the streets. Today I was terrified when I saw that there were only a few thousand protesting in 7tir sq. God is my witness, we have made our efforts.
Now it’s a critical time, our compatriots living abroad, we have the following immediate needs. If you don’t do these we will lose. I believe under these circumstances, without a prompt action, the enemy will severely suppress us.
1.Today we heard many people saying we can not win. Give us some spirit and motivation by reminding us of the important accomplishments made so far. Isn’t delegitimizing this government enough?! Is being united like this a small thing? Today, a Revolutionary Guard’s commander in Tehran was arrested because of his refusal to implement a crackdown order. Is this is a small triumph? We repeat, Help us maintain our spirits!
2. Invite terrified people to low cost actions; for example, pulling out money from governmental banks. Believe me but these days even wearing black in the working place (as a sign of mourning) is scary, let alone going on a strike. Please don’t criticize us for this. We did everything we could, everything within our powers, for a week. Think how you can convince a villager to pull out his/her money from the banks.
3.Don’t let state-run websites crush people’s spirit. Why didn’t you continue your DDOS attacks on the government news websites, such as Fars news? Do onto them what they are doing onto us! Please install the auto-reload plugin on firefox and bring their websites down again.
4.To create fear and frustration, the state TV, in a showmanship act, has asked people to send them pictures of the demonstrators. Explain to us, haven’t we already put our own photos and videos on the Internet?! In fact this is our strength, we should not be afraid. This is Islamic Republic TV’s psychological warfare.
5.By unfounded charges and accusations that foreign media are instigating chaos in Iran, the government has put them in a passive defensive position. Ask the foreign media to show our imperfect videos and reports. Governments, especially Obama should not remain neutral. They shouldn’t sell the people for the benefit of the rulers. The whole world has to ask the regime to run a re-election. The world should understand that we have risked everything and we are doing whatever that’s within our powers. Lack of explicit support and recognition by European countries and the United States will be very effective. Tell Obama, not to sell us for this government, because they will deceive him too. The likelihood of Mousavi, Karrubi and Khatami getting arrested is increasing every day. Do something! The foreign media has to increase the cost of these arrests.
