The IRI is at it again. Its propaganda machine in full swing, it announced that it has issued two death sentences to prison guards at the infamous Kahraizak prison. Its propagandists and agents then picked up the line, and their marching orders,and came out in full force to hail the announcement as a victory for law an order under the IRI mafia rule of Iran. And of course, they sprinkled a little bit of U.S. bashing (as if that is somehow relevant) to sweeten the story, talking about Abu Ghraib and complaining that IC users didn’t protest Abu Ghraib enough in comparison to what happened at Kahrizak---as if we are supposed to be stateless ideological gypsies (“SIG”) like them and care about Iranians only at the level that we care about everyone else in the world. It never seizes to amaze me how the whole idea of putting our own people first is so alien to these stateless IRI agents.
Let’s forget about IRI propaganda—and its agents--for now and focus instead on this non-story. The IRI has claimed that it has “tried” and “convicted” two guards. Of course, we don’t know their names. We don’t know if they were following orders from their chain of command-especially Saeed Mortazevi, who has since been promoted. We don’t know how they exactly killed the prisoners. We don’t know if it was under torture, and if so, how many else were tortured and what happened to them. For all we know, these supposed “guards” could be prisoners themselves, who will be executed under the guise of punishment for “wrongdoers”.
But let’s assume that IRI’s claims are correct, and they actually did arrest a couple of nobodies for three deaths, and made them scapegoats. What about the rest? What about Sattar Najafi, the Basiji who shot and killed protesters from the rooftop and is in countless pictures and videos? What about Neda’s murderer (oops, sorry…I forgot that Neda was killed by the BBC)? What about the murderers of more than a hundred other protesters who died on the streets on Tehran, Mashhad, Tabriz and other cities in Iran? What about the ones who were tortured and raped? What happened to their torturers and rapists? And what about the people whose homes were invaded, their property destroyed by IRI's thugs and South Lebanese mercenaries? Are they going to be compensated?
Even if what the IRI says is true (which I am sure that is not), the only punishment that it has so far handed out to anyone is for the murder of three prisoners, the father of one of them happens to be a high ranking IRI insider (not that it takes away from the victim’s sacrifice or bravery). And that, in and of itself, should show that this whole IRI show is nothing but smoke and mirrors to fool the gullible, and a poor attempt to somehow clean up its image around the world…with the help of its West residing propagandists of the sort that we see on IC. This whole non-story is nothing but another IRI dog and ponyshow.

Mina and Amir

Like Yousef, you are either a bikar prankster or an IRI thug. So, I am not going to waste my precious time on you.
what do you mean "Like Yousef"? He IS Yousef.
Amir:
He was blocked. Thanks for the info. Now I know the reason for the reincarnation as Temsah Yazdi. :-)) But don't worry. these IRI groupies (as you call them) have a habit of getting blocked and coming back under different names. IMF (Shah Gholam) being one. "Captain Ayhanb" was another. he got blocked twice under "Captain Ayhab" and then came back as "Darveesh". he was then blocked a third time as "Darveesh". You see, the thing is that they think that they can use the same abusive tactics that they use against the people of Iran in the cyber world. That's why they can't tolerate other points of view, so they become abusive and they get blocked.
Well said Fair
by Onlyiran on Fri Jul 02, 2010 07:38 PM PDTThe victims shot by the thug from the rooftop were innocent. Even if the people were attacking the terrorist (basij) building they were justified and brave for doing so, since the basij terrorists are murderers of innocent Iranians, and they act on orders of the chief terrorist Khamenei.
Well said.

by yolanda on Fri Jul 02, 2010 06:47 PM PDTI checked on you-tube....there is no Basiji funeral videos....I found one Press TV article saying that 8 Basijis were killed by gunfires.....there are no names and no pictures for the 8 basijis.....the whole thing sounds suspicious 'cause people are not allowed to have guns except in the Baluchestan area....how could 8 basijis be killed by gunfire.....so the 8 basijis were killed by government forces?
//www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=98984§ionid=351020101
I read "Love and Justice" blog and all the posts attached.......the impression I got is that IRI's conviction of 2 guards is not convincing enough.....no one has been won over by IRI's latest cosmetic PR gesture (except the usual pro-IRI bloggers)....IRI's image has not improved a bit.......I think all those people who applaud IRI's conviction of the 2 prison guards need to tell IRI to do more to improve its image, like release politcal prisoners and stop all the executions.....

by Ayatollah Mesbah Yazdi on Fri Jul 02, 2010 06:39 PM PDTNot this satanic nonsense about Neda again.
I suppose Neda should be president even though she is dead.
Should we change Ashura and Arba'een and honor Neda instead of Hussein? Is that what this is all about? Exploiting a young woman's death to attack Islam itself?
So what? Basiji and other murderers are fair targets
by Fair on Fri Jul 02, 2010 06:08 PM PDTThe victims shot by the thug from the rooftop were innocent. Even if the people were attacking the terrorist (basij) building they were justified and brave for doing so, since the basij terrorists are murderers of innocent Iranians, and they act on orders of the chief terrorist Khamenei.
Iranian people are brave and justified in every action they take against the terrorist mullahs and their terrorist mercenaries. I hope they destroy all the basij, its buildings, and its "spiritual leaders" like Mesbah Yazdi.
One cell of one hair of Neda is worth more than all the murderer basijis and hezbollah terrorists put together. To hell with all of you monsters.

by Bavafa on Fri Jul 02, 2010 03:37 PM PDTI can hardly ever think such rational will take root in Iran any time soon, specially when the criminals are of such heinous crimes that gets committed by IRI agents on a daily bases. But lets say this is part of my wishful thinking and it never hurts to be wishful.
For me, its got to be beyond IRI reign and revenge… it is for the good of Iran and Iranians in a long run.

by Onlyiran on Fri Jul 02, 2010 03:30 PM PDTI agree. Better yet, they should relaese all political prisoners and drop all charges against them IMMEDIATELY. Also, while I am with you on the death penalty issue, I am not sure that after 30 years of murder, torture and injustice, the Iranian people would be satisfied with that rationale as it relates to punishing IRI criminals.
Death penalty is a state
by Bavafa on Fri Jul 02, 2010 03:25 PM PDTDeath penalty is a state sanctioned murder, nothing less nothing more. IRI has had ample practices in this barbaric and so called "justice"
However, if IRI was really interested in real justice, it would have first open the trial to the public. Also expeditiously, like tomorrow, would have charged and put on credible and open trial all political prisoners that they currently have locked up.
Hanging a couple of jailers, would not even give the appearance of justice, never mind the actual justice.

by Onlyiran on Fri Jul 02, 2010 03:21 PM PDTyou bring up a good point about the show trials for the protesters. Where are the "public trials" for these supposed "guards"?
........
by yolanda on Fri Jul 02, 2010 03:19 PM PDTThank you for the great blog! It is very interesting that the 2 convicted killers have no names and no pictures....there was no show trial for these 2 alleged killers.....but there were show trials for anti-IRI protesters.........the roof-top sniper(s) and Neda killer are cleared for shooting......
This video shows Neda killer got stripped by angry people right after he shot Neda:
//www.youtube.com/watch?v=01Ti-MnN3aY
This video shows roof top sniper in action
//www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZLGd0ipLEY
I guess IRI have phantom killers, phantom trial, phantom conviction........later we will hear phantom execution and phantom funerals.......I will stay tuned!
These 2 convicted killers must be pretty upset if they do exist.......they gave their loyalty and trust to IRI......and then they end up on gallows!
When IRI hanged Rigi, they let victims' relatives watch the hanging......let see if IRI will do the same!
You have proved nothing
by Onlyiran on Fri Jul 02, 2010 03:09 PM PDTyou have linked to a vague statement on an IRI mafia (sorry..."government") propaganda site. You raised the claim, and the burden is on you to prove it. Proving it means providing photos, and objective, non-IRI related reporting of the event, and you have so far miserably failed in doing so.
Do your own research
by No Fear on Fri Jul 02, 2010 03:04 PM PDTI believe i have refuted your arguement with the link i have provided. I provided the name which you originally asked for. The link also provides the dates and also the location of the funeral for people to judge for themselves about the authenticity of the event.
i also mentioned that i have seen photos from other baseej funerals. But i am not going to do a daily search all the way back to last year event to prove my point to a brick head like you. ( Unless you give me something instead, like declaring your ignorance or something naughty to make me feel good , you can just claim you are a carrot! )
As i said, do your own research. All i needed was one example to prove you wrong.
Raja News :-))
by Onlyiran on Fri Jul 02, 2010 02:41 PM PDTnonetheless, where are the photos?
Plus, I thought your partner down below said that there were 8 basijis who were killed. Where are the rest?
Not so fast.
by No Fear on Fri Jul 02, 2010 02:37 PM PDTHere is a link i found on Raja News.
//rajanews.com/Detail.asp?id=31322
but you will say its a lie, won't you?
Well said Amir
by Onlyiran on Fri Jul 02, 2010 02:22 PM PDTand they wonder why no one, inside and outside of Iran, believe them. They misrepresent and lie about everything, from their "technological advancements", which are nothing but dressing up old, borrowed and antiquated technology in a cheap tuxedo, to their "freedom".
Onlyiran
by AMIR1973 on Fri Jul 02, 2010 01:36 PM PDTIslamists lie only when their lips are moving. Certainly, after more than 3 decades of their lies most Iranians know that by now. You could fill a book with all the lies Khomeini and his murderous gang told in the years leading up to and after the Revolution.
Infact i saw the photos
by Onlyiran on Fri Jul 02, 2010 01:06 PM PDTInfact i saw the photos ( A series of pictures ) of a funeral on Raja news. I am not lying.
And I saw you running through the Amazon forest wearing a pink bikini and singing "baba karam". I am not lying either. :-)
You still be the same arrogant non believer
by No Fear on Fri Jul 02, 2010 01:03 PM PDTInfact i saw the photos ( A series of pictures ) of a funeral on Raja news. I am not lying. This was about a month ( Or two ) after the riots. ( I also saw these pictures on other pro government sites )
But i am not going to do your research for you. Even if i painfully dig out the photos, you will come back and want more proof of authenticity, dates ....
I will never win this arguement. Believe in your fairy tale.
forget about the names
by Onlyiran on Fri Jul 02, 2010 12:55 PM PDTshow us photos of the funeral.
Names were published
by No Fear on Fri Jul 02, 2010 12:51 PM PDTA few weeks ago i saw the names ( Baseeji killed ) on Raja news and i remember reading about a baseeji funeral on the same site months ago.
I can't remember the headline of the news which will make my search very time consuming. I decided not to search after a poster claimed that these names could be manufactured. It seems regardless of what we do, you will always find an excuse to discredit us. I rather save my time. Believe in your fairy tale and distort the truth as it fits in your limited political awareness.
Yes Amir Jaan
by Onlyiran on Fri Jul 02, 2010 12:42 PM PDTBut they will never have an answer to the question of why there were no public funerals for them when we all know that the IRI would have jumped on the opportunity to hold massive "naneh man gharibam" propaganda and show funerals for a single dead basiji.
I am in howzeh not the government
by Ayatollah Mesbah Yazdi on Fri Jul 02, 2010 12:37 PM PDTHow typical of the satanic taghootis that they ask an elderly religious scholar based in Qom questions about what happened in Tehran.
The WSJ article makes it clear that groups of green thugs attacked the Baseej and organized guerilla warfare against them.
We saw on CNN the Basij HQ on fire where the militamen died.
The animals of the "green movement" are given sanctuary in Paris, London, Washington and Tel Aviv. For this, there will be earthquakes in these cities soon, enshallah.
Here are the names of the "8 Basijis killed"
by AMIR1973 on Fri Jul 02, 2010 12:27 PM PDT1) Gholam Hossein Tehrani 2) Majid Ardebili 3) Reza Beheshti 4) Afshin Tehrani 5) Ali Eghbali 6) Ahmad Mashhadi 7) Asghar Karimzadeh 8) Daryoosh Esfahani It took me 30 seconds to make up those names. It is very easy for Islamist liars to take 8 names and say those were the "8 dead Basijis". If Islamists can see Emam's face in the moon in November 1978, which thousands of them claimed to see; if they can claim that 15,000 were killed and injured in Jaleh Square by Israeli troops (when the true number killed was 64, and the soldiers were Iranian)--then they can easily make up 8 names.

Onlyiran, asked you a couple of question. Why are not you answering his questions, directly?
You and people like you, are responsible for torture, murder, rape, prostitution, poverty and addiction of our "hamvatans" in Iran. Shame on you.
The article quotes a Basiji
by Onlyiran on Fri Jul 02, 2010 12:00 PM PDTwithout any verification. Again, you claimed that 8 Basijis died in that compound where Sattar Najafi had opened fire on innocent protesters. What are their names and why wasn't there a public funeral for them?
