Iran Update 06-27-09: The Mothers of Iran Vigil, Protestors Silence - A Time to Regroup, Regime Tortures Protestors at Camp Kahrizak

From Tehran via Twitter the voices of the Iranian People, although fewer and further between are still being heard on Twitter. According to several “Twits”, the mothers of victims will gather in Park Leah today – the outcome undetermined. Notices of meetings in the past via Tweeter have proven to be confirmed later in the day – this was, of course, prior to the interruption of internet and telecommunications from within Iran. Additionally, unconfirmed reports are coming through that site, that the regime in housing protestors in the notorious Camp Kahrizak, where they are undergoing torture. The reputation of this particular “camp” is well documented. In 2007, 18 women died from the extreme conditions, while 10 died under torture. The regimes crimes are further detailed here at WFAFI.org an Iranian Women’s Organization. For more on the Camp, and world views Human Rights Organizations document this particular “camp”.
The green balloon protests, have been thwarted by the regime, yesterday the Guardian Council banned balloons.

From Twitter: the Iranian Protestors are regrouping:

it's ok that we didn't have protests yesterday, we r trying 2 think of ways 2 have our voices heard without dying!


Therefore, from this perspective, the silence from Iran, touted by those in the media who prefer to focus on other events, as contained by the administration, is simply on hold until such time as communications between those now fighting for Democracy and Persia, are able to find the means to achieve their ultimate goal. This without the enormous loss of life inflicted upon the protestors by the Hired Guns of the Iranian Regime. Certainly that aid will not come from the administration of the United State, regardless of what the Ayatollah believes, President Obama would refer to the United Nations first, and then offer his condolences to the “freedom fighters” and “strongly condemn” the Iranian Government. The aid will come, however, and it will come from Europe, from a nation that has seen the face of fascism and suffered the oppression of its people, a nation that has stood up so far in response to the Iranian protestors, have no doubt that a nation that is considered the least among us (given the arrogance of certain world powers), will become the greatest in terms of morality.

Lastly, one has to understand the history of Persia, to fully understand the disconnect between the Persian People and their Islamic Leaders. Additionally, when one looks at the religious demographics of Iran, although predominantly Muslim, with several minority religions: Christians and Jews among them. However, a growing number of the Persian youth are subscribing to Zoroastrianism, the oldest religion in Persia. A sense of Persian nationalism is prevalent in a growing number of posts coming (either via twitter, YouTube, citizen tube, or a variety of blogs), and these are the voices of the protestors.
