Iranian Children living in boxes

Iranian Children living in boxes
by David ET
20-Jan-2009
 

The following photos were taken in the ARYA SHAHR square. These child laborers sell fortune telling papers (Faal) and live and sleep in boxes in the midst of cold winter in Tehran.

This is what city of Aryans (Arya Shahr) has turned in to under the rule of the Ayatollahs of the Islamic Republic of Iran.  Iran is the 2nd ranking OPEC oil producer.

To see more of the photos visit besooye azadi blog or rottengods.com

we're talking about the same government that takes the oil revenue money and puts it in their Swiss bank accounts first, gives it to Hamas and Hezbollah second, then maybe gives some of what's left over to Iranians.

They shouldn't even be out there selling stuff. They should be in school.

by Souri on Fri Jan 23, 2009 03:47 PM PST

Me too, I've heard about the poor children selling stuff on the street and when it is too cold (like this winter) they cover themselves with the boxes to be protected.

But living in the boxes, permanently ??

Not only the government don't let them do that, but also the people of Tehran ( and proud people of Iran in general) never let this happen.

Sorry, I don't believe it.

I've heard about kids living in boxes prior to this being posted. Relatives of mine who came to visit told us about it.

Even if the pictures aren't authentic, the situation is.

you are a smart guy, regardless of your opinion opposing mines.

Tell me really, can't you see the photo-shop effect on those pictures ?

Can't you see that in this picture above,  the box is not ON the ground ?

Can't you see on those other pictures at the link, the size of the bodies wrapped in the boxes, is not a " child body" size ? Those are the adult people and also the pictures are very badly made up digitally ?

Please...........

What does this have to do with Israel or Gaza?

Why do you feel compelled to make such a comparison?

Does your reasoning that this isn't worse than how children in Gaza are living make it acceptable to you somehow?

Damn it, as much as I don't want to see kids in Gaza suffering, these children are OURS, man! This is OUR country! These are OUR people!

Who the hell is anyone to criticize Israel for 60 years when our own kids are living like this after 3,000? They're in a state of war. Are we at war internally with Iranian babies now?

Not worse than Gaza children though

by Mehdi on Fri Jan 23, 2009 01:17 PM PST

Israel is still by far the most cruel, ruthless and criminal anomoly in the Middle East. Death to any apartheird regime, I say. May there be a day where there is no such monsterous regimes killing and murdering freely.

It Makes Me Want to Cry

by Kaveh Nouraee on Thu Jan 22, 2009 12:03 PM PST

These poor kids are the future of our country, and we have people calling themselves Iranian who pay more attention to what's going on in Gaza.

To each and every one of you miserable pieces of garbage who allowed this, with your Hezbeh Gooz ideology that conceived, empowered and emboldened this IRANIAN nightmare called the IRI, I have one question:

Are you happy now?

Why wasn't this featured either?

by David ET on Wed Jan 21, 2009 04:15 PM PST

Does the child have to be Palestinian to deserve more attention in Iranian.com?

I ask that these two little innocent Iranian boys be named Iranians of the day on this site.

Trully sad and shocking

by javaneh29 on Wed Jan 21, 2009 03:46 PM PST

I am shocked and yet I am not shocked when I consider some of the other things that are allowed to go on in Iran now. I don't remember ever seeing anything like these pictures 30 years ago.

We are going back to Iran to live this year and Im really worried about what Im going to see there. I dont know if I will be able to do nothing.

The silent little victims

by Fred on Wed Jan 21, 2009 10:32 AM PST

Let alone the impoverished far flung places like Gonaveh and Zabol, in comparison to kids in Khaak-Sefid neighborhood of Tehran where one sees things that defies humanity, these two kids have it good. BTW, Arya Shahr has been renamed by the victorious Islamist revolutionaries to Sadeghieh and yes it is close to the Kennedy, now touheed circle. For the sake of humanity this Islamist regime has got to be overthrown.

Shocking that a country with such wealth can allow its children to live like this.  Billions spent on nuclear weaponry and stupid IRI agendas.  I thought the "Muslim" thing to do was to take care of the poor and disadvantaged.

So sad...

by Azarin Sadegh on Wed Jan 21, 2009 12:13 AM PST

I haven't been to Tehran in a long time, but I thought Arya Shahr was a pretty good neighborhood. As a teen I used to live close to Arya Shahr (Is it close to kennedy square?)

I can't believe it is the same neighborhood...I am just shocked.

Today was the inauguration of the new President, a day of hope for changes....Now I should thank you David for this "sinister" reminder, the remonder of another kind of change...
