The Student Movement fighting battles that evolved from 1953

19-Nov-2009 (59 comments)
Young people continue to die in Iran. In December of 1953 following the coup d’état that overthrew Prime Minister Mohammad Mossedeqh, students of Tehran University staged a protest in response to a visit by then U.S. Vice President Richard Nixon. During the demonstration police shot and killed three students. Today when we read about the deaths of Ahmad Ghandchi, Azar Shariatrazavi, and Mostafa Bozorgnia more than 50 years ago, it isn't hard to see the similarities they had with students today>>>

Baby Bride

My mother told me yesterday, ”God bless you dear, you’re becoming a bride soon.”

19-Nov-2009 (3 comments)
The best day of my life was when mom bought me the Princess Saba in her long white dress covered with thousands of colorful tinsels. Her lush blonde hair falling over her chest was so shiny that when in stared at them it was like staring into the sun. Her eyes were blue, the type that open and close. Every day I combed her hair, I touch her breasts hoping one day mine would grow like them. My only wish was to become a bride just like the Princess with blonde hair, blue eyes, red lips and white gown>>>

پرده برزنت آرام آرام شروع کرد به پائین آمدن و دسته موزیک به طور نا هم آهنگی به نواختن سرود ملی پرداخت. دقایقی طول کشید تا سطح آبهای استخر را همه ببینند. ناگهان همه جمعیت از وحشت بر جای خود میخکوب شدند. اسکلت های سربازان گم شده گروهان اول کوندور بر سطح آب شناور بود. سفیدی جمجمه ها زیر آفتاب استوائی می درخشید. آب استخر مخلوطی بود از خون و پوست و امعاء و احشاء سربازانی که بعد از بازگشت از ماموریت سرکوب شورش های انتخابات 12 ژوئن بدون اینکه شنا بلد باشند پریده بودند داخل استخر و همگی غرق شده بودند>>>
