Shocking Confidential Report Admits to Iranian TV’s Provocation of Post-Election Uprising
International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran
17-Jun-2011 (26 comments)

The International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran has obtained an exclusive copy of a confidential report prepared by a sub-division of the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB), in which the IRIB’s performance following the 2009 presidential election is seriously criticized and the network is held responsible for widespread protests arising from the announcement of the election results. The confidential report is dated 9 August 2009.

The report concluded that the IRIB’s mishandling of their reporting of the vote count process or the election results, and its failure to provide news coverage of the opposition candidates’ objections, led to public distrust of the election results and protests.

The report was prepared by the Education and Research Office of the Political Division of the IRIB and entitled “Analysis of the IRIB’s Conduct and Audience Trust Before and After the Presidential Election.”

The IRIB’s report, prepared only three months after the June 2009 presidential election, is stamped “Confidential” and appears to be for IRIB managers. The report states that “the vote count process, the initial election results, and the speedy announcement of the results… lead to the creation of doubts among people,” and “chatter” about “pre-determined election results.”

The report goes on to say that the “premature announcement of election results, prior to preparing public opinion, was a mistake in the na... >>>

"Exposing" and "demystifying"

by AMIR1973 on Sat Jun 18, 2011 07:08 AM PDT

The freedom of gathering for Americans is a myth that has been exposed and demystified on numerous occasions...

It goes without saying that the same political ilk who "expose" and "demystify" ("on numerous occasions" to boot, LOL) the alleged absence of basic freedoms in the U.S. are the very ones asking that the IRI's "elections" be "respected". The two viewpoints go hand-in-hand with West-residing Stalinists and IRI Groupies. As always, cheers!

"Americans are free to gather, free to chant"

by پندارنیک on Sat Jun 18, 2011 06:39 AM PDT

The freedom of gathering for Americans is a myth that has been exposed and demystified on numerous occasions....

The wisdom of the American and Western  democracies dictates that those  governments channel their people's political outbursts and actions into civil codes, i.e. trespassing, etc. There are tons of stories about the violations of  basic human rights committed by the US government with political undertones, lost or least visible among other news dominated by Lady Gaga, Justin Beiber, or Katy and William.

Having said all that, I'd like to remind you that I am under no illusion that these comments of ours will be able to change either of our opinions on  this matter, therefore I leave this comment as  my last one in this thread  and only for the third (unbiased) reader to decide.

Thank you.

Comrade (aka Pendar-e Neek)

Whether or not the rules and structure of elections in our homeland are optimally democratic is one thing, insisting on the last presidential election, within the present framework, being rigged is definitely something else.

The IRI "elections" are neither more nor less "rigged" than the "elections" in Syria, North Korea, Cuba or the former USSR. They are a total sham.

I'd like to see them chanting " No Israel, No NATO........My life for USA" or something like it; and ask what happened to their votes. 

Americans are free to gather, free to chant whatever they like, write whatever they want online or in print, free to practice or not practice a religion, etc. Which brings me back to what I said before about you: "Khar Khodeti". Cheers!

P.S. Calling you a Stalinist IRI Groupie is not an insult; it's an accurate description of you based on your comments above in bold and other gibberish you spout on this site in your present incarnation as Purrrzhennnn "words of wisdom" and in your past life as our esteemed "Comrade".

No reason for insulting each other, at least as far as I'm concerned.

Whether or not the rules and structure of elections in our homeland are optimally democratic is one thing, insisting on the last presidential election, within the present framework, being rigged is definitely something else.

I'm pretty sure those Americans, for instance, who vote Ralph Nader feel the same kinda Khar khodeti ripoff in their electoral system where "The Assembly of Experts" is replaced by big corporations......... I'd like to see them chanting " No Israel, No NATO........My life for USA" or something like it; and ask what happened to their votes.

In the IRI's elections are vetted by the Council of Guardians? One would also suppose that the "election" of the country's Leader by the Assembly of Experts also be "respected" by Iranians as much as the "elections" of Assad, Castro, Kim Jong-Il, and the leaders of the Soviet Union be "respected" by their respective populations. How does one say "Khar Khodeti" in a way that a Stalinist West-residing IRI Groupie can understand?

Taraneh

by پندارنیک on Fri Jun 17, 2011 07:51 PM PDT

Those who participate in an election have to respect the outcome. There is no proof so far that it was fraudulent. Propaganda yap yaps  by CNN or Balatarin:))) don't count. That election can only be labeled as "disputed" at best.

The tragic death of Taraneh deserves a thorough and independent investigation and due judicial followups, but doesn't null and void the election's results.

 

They accuse khamenei of handpicking A.N, and all I say is: "prove it".

Mashangy, your case has been followed for a while.Now you have a one way ticket to Siberia with your name on it. We have extra space for all your ID's.  It'll do wonders for your writing. Congrats.

P.S. Yolanda you're biased towards IR because you don't know about their Islamic Super Computers. They just stand by it and read a verse of koran, and it counts as many millions of votes as it desires, and it's nobody's business either. And we have Mashangi (soon to be exiled to Siberia for good) to prove it.

So less than 3 hours after the election, IRIB announced the winner! How could IRI count 40 millions of paper ballots in 3 hours? It was a fake election! No doubt!

Next time, if there is an election in Iran, IRIB will wait longer to announce the winner and learn from their "mistake & stupidity" & cover their tracks better....but of course, they can still keep having the fake election any way!

by Mash Ghasem on Fri Jun 17, 2011 05:23 PM PDT

Can you (mashangy, aka, PN, 'comrade,' god knows how many other IDs)
prove you're not an obtuse paid agent of IR, doing a wonderfully idiotic
job of defending Fascism in Iran and making every one here laugh with
your most amature performance?

Was Taraneh Mussavi's death a trafick accident. Remeber and make no mistake about it, her blood and thousands of tohers like her is also on your hands. You're just benind a keyboard, but what you're doing is not that different from  what state Rapists to do in Iran. Piere Bourdieue on Symbolic Violence.

Nice try! Someday, when we are able to look at the physical proof, you can see it, too. Until then, please read two years worth of information, analysis, and yes, gossip and speculation that has been compiled on the fraudulent 2009 presidential election in Iran. This is a good place to start: www.balatarin.com

In the absence of a free press, just like the report in this news link is saying, this is the best we can do. Do read the news item, if you can. And try to find the actual report and read it, too. Here's what analysts inside Iran's state broadcasting (IRIB) said about how the rush to announce the fraudulent results was a mistake:

"The report goes on to say that the “premature announcement of election results, prior to preparing public opinion, was a mistake in the national media’s news coverage … considering voting hours ended at 22:00 on the night of 12 June, and the initial results (announcing Ahmadinejad’s victory) were reported (after counting 61% of the votes) at 2:47 a.m. the next day.”


The report finds that “announcing election results with such speed was almost unprecedented.” The report implicitly blames the IRIB’s performance during the vote count, as one of the factors contributing to widespread street protest.
