Emaaaaaaaaaaa
confirm arrival ...
worried!
here green movement is upgrading his way to protest: The
beauty of the money thing is –unlike spraying slogans on walls
-- writing on bills is risk-free and the circulation is far vaster ... as
for replacing bills, it won't matter as long as people keep writing.
You know how Iranians love copycat behavior; once something
catches on, they do it en masse ... and relentlessly.
As to panicky reactions ... the regime has panicked too.
A photographer friend of mine was released after 3 days at
Evin (where they did "waterboarding" on him btw ... and they
have the gall to criticize Guantanamo!!) ... anyway, he said it
was a ZOO in there, 1000s arrested, some of them extremely
random; for instance, a five-storey apartment building (10 apt.
units) ALL RESIDENTS rounded up and arrested on charges of
hollering "Allahu Akhbar" from their rooftops. The irony kills me!
Immagine being arrested in the Islamic Republic for saying "God
is Great!" ha ha.This shows the regime is not at all as unruffled as
it would like to project. Their normal paranoia has gone haywire
to include millions of internal dissidents ... how to keep tabs on
them all, even with their new hi-tech web spyware ...?!

After the Guardian Council recount confirmation of Ahmadinejad
FROM: tara win on Monday, the Reformist Big Three (Khatami, Karroubi,

Clashes -- please update
No mass march (like the millions two weeks ago) to avoid possible let me know anything i can do
large-scale bloodshed (word-of-mouth is that IRGC is willing t.
to kill large numbers in one go if it feels threatened), so street
protests are now decentralized (slimmer crowds in multiple p.s. tmrw is MASS demos ...! first big once since sat. when
locations simultaneously at appointed time). neda died ... its for the decade anniversary of the 1999 student
massacre at tehran university. planned by the people, not by
Tuesday, there were posters & slogans/tear gas & batonwork mousavi ... ! the people have sent him a public open invatation
in six main squares in Tehran (from Tajrish up north to Pich to join us ... now he is not the leader but the follower ... !
Shemran in center-south). Protests from the start were
scheduled in afternoons (starting 4, 5, or 6 pm for about two
hours), which is rush hour amid gridlock traffic. On Tuesday,
the scattered demos caused cars to start honking in support
(i.e., loud nonstop honking by many cars). The Basij response
was to pound cars with batons and slash tires. Thus, even passing
drivers were harassed for expressing support as they sat in their
cars.
Today's Protest
is scheduled at 6pm in front of Evin Prison, to ask for the release
of crackdown detainees.
