A Revolution Betrayed

Torture and murder in IRI prisons in the 1980's

Sadegh Khalkhali's treatment of claimed drug addicts and dealers in IRI prisons in early 1980's. There are other examples of mistreatment of prisoners. Unfortunately, there is no information about the origin and credits on the clip, but it might be a part of this 1984 documentary.

American Dreamer YOU ARE DOLTISH

by Freedom5 on

Amercican dreamer you are wrong again, except one point that you made and that was the Iranain who Revolted against their king.

It was the Iraninan who did the devils work, no doubt . But Listen dreamer it was not only the US that helped IR come to power but also the rest of the world which did not want our country to move forwrad. That is the fact. You are defending the US that's fine. But it shows that you have no knowledge of what is going on in this world. Look at the Hiroshima and Nakazaki and what happened to millions of people. That is righteous??? You are blockheaded.

Then look at the European countries which close their eyes of Holocust and million of jews who were murdered. Once again YOU ARE HEBETUDINOUS.

 You should be ashamed of yourself but again that is expected from you because you are a dreamer ......

Khalkhali used to be a hero!

by Mehdi on

I remember very clearly the early days when Khalkhali was considered by most people to be hero. They thought he was the man to handle drug addiction in the country. People were willing to close their eyes to many wrongdoings in the hope that in the end it would be good for the country. Where are those supporters now? We all enjoy blaming it all on "government." But we are part of it too. Today, they are those who say that if we pour into the streets and destroy everything in our paths, we will end up with a better givernment somehow. Tomorrow will prove us wrong. Heated emotion is never a good motivation!


Mehdi

ALL revolutions will betray its people

by Mehdi on

Because revolution is a false idea sold to people in backwards countries in order to keep them back. You will NEVER find an Israeli, for example, advocate a revolution in Israel, no matter how many Palestinians are murdered. Why? Because they know better. Even though their government right now is advocating outright occupation, by officially expanding their own admitted occupied regions, you will find NO Israeli talking against it - and we have many of them on this site advocating any form of violence for Iranians! 

Revolution is another version of war, sold by certain groups, societies, etc, in order to keep their enemies weak. With every revolution, no matter what or who was the previous regime, the new one will be worse. This is according to all experiences in history. No matter how bad a government is, revolution will only make it worse, Look at Cuba, Russia, and all those "experts" at revolution.

These criminals WILL be brought to justice and they will pay for their crimes. It is not matter of IF but WHEN!

emreekayee nightmare....

by shushtari on

U should go back to iran.....

and u really need to educate yourself, because it is obvious u have NO CLUE about carter and the morons around him!

they sent general huyser to neutralize the army so the mullahs could take over! gharebaghi and  fardoost betrayed iran and signed a petition to have the army stand down....

had the shah unleashed the army, you wouldn't have akhoonds or pasdars killing our people

so go read some books, and buy a ticket back to iran

 

and btw, obama has the same morons "advising" him as carter.....and his press sect just claimed "ahmadinejad is the elected leader of iran!!!!"

so obama has everything to do with it.....

Why don't YOU go back and have khoresh e gheimeh with the monkey and his master?

I'm sure there is no shortage of volunteers who would love to buy your ticket and take you to the airport.

If you're really nice and ask politely maybe we'll even bring the car to a COMPLETE stop before pushing you out of it in front of the departure terminal at the airport.

thank you shushtari khan and sorry for dreamer denying the bigger picture behind the Iranian uprising of 1978 if the current situation will benefit the WEST for as long as it can ; the day they see no profit they'll pull the rug from under whom ever they please,and thats the fact.

we are from this planet earth and by following its rules we can live any where we desire. peace on earth   Maziar


Benyamin

It is a "sad" clip

by Benyamin on

This is all because of Islam and the people that actually believe in it. Islam and any other religion that has become monsterous institutions are to blame. The people Of Iran need the courage to "reject" Islam and all that stands for. ISLAM HAS BETRAYED IRAN AND IRANIANS EVER SINCE RAPED ITS WAY TO IRAN.

U need to change, I need to change, why blame others for our mistake. Was there not millions of Iranians demonstrating? Did we not demand  to kill all the Tagooties? do we not demand to kill all the Hezbollahies today. WE NEED TO CHANGE NO MORE KILLING


American Dream

shushtari, you are being silly

by American Dream on

What does Obama have to do with the Iranian theocracy?

President Carter and Mr. Brzenski supported the Shah.

It was 30 million Iranian who revolted and kicked the Shah out of Iran.

It is high time, people stop blaming righteous countries like the United States and Western Europe for their internal problems.

If you don't like the United States or Western Europe you are free to return to Iran and sip tea with the Iranian President Ahmadinejad and eat lentil stew (Khoresh Ghaymeh) with Ayat'Allah Seyed Ali Khamenei.

 


shushtari

I'M SORRY....

by shushtari on

I'm so ticked off, I have to leave another comment.....

I invite all the obama and carter supportes to post their thoughts on the past thirty years.....and the fiasco which mr carter helped orchestrate with brzenski and the rest of his team....

is iran and it's people in a better place now?????

did we have to go through this hell, where thousands have died for nothing.....and khoramshar, abadan and other beautiful cities have been destroyed???

iran would have been a paradise now, only if they let our country be....NO, BUT THEY COULDN'T!!! THEY MADE SURE THAT IRAN WAS SET BACK A THOUSAND YEARS.....THEY COULD NOT STAND OUR COUNTRY TO BE A SUPERPOWER.....

 

may god provide swift justice to these criminals in 2009

JAVID IRAN  and its wonderful heritage

To think that Khalkhali And Hadi Ghaffari became Reformists ...

by Darius Kadivar on

Hadi Gaffari shown in the video ( who demands vengeance for Ayatollah Beheshti's death)  was the man who alledgedly shot Amir Abbas Hoveyda the Shah's Prime Minister in prison with his gun. 

And to think that He and Khalkhali later became prominent Pro Reform Supporters of President Khatami.

Gaffari today is amongst those who have been critical of Ayatollah Khamenei's status as Velayateh Fagih.

Didn't and Don't Iranians deserve Better than these Criminals turned moderate ? ...

Truly Heart Breaking footage given the fact that little has changed for the better in 30 years ...

Thanks for sharing this document.
