A year after the overthrow of the Shah, the Islamic Revolutionary Court issued a subpoena with a list of singers and actors who were ordered to surrender to Evin authorities. Second on the list was Massoumeh Dadeh-Baalaa, known to the music world as Hayedeh. The ominous document, scribbled in course handwriting, can be seen in Pejman Akbarzadeh’s encyclopedic video biography of the legendary Iranian diva. Akbarzadeh chronicles Hayedeh’s life with such detail and insight that by the sad end we realize the storyteller has covered territory beyond the life of one artist; he has shed light on the world of the Iranian exile>>>

in a moment of pause
you had gone
I walked away wondering
how I could not see you leave
Now whispers in me
words of regrets
longing to begin a new day >>>

زنان ما اکنون بايد از مفهوم کلاسيک روز جهانی زن دور شده و به مفهوم مدرن آن، که در پی تصويب اعلاميه حقوق بشر شکل گرفته، برسند. يعنی در روز جهانی زن، پيش و بيش از هر شعاری خواستار اجرای مفاد اعلاميه ای شوند که جهانيان، و از جمله کشور خودشان، پای آن امضاء گذاشته و آن را به رسميت شناخته اند. آنها بايد بجای طرح خواست های «اختصاصی» که ثابت شده اين حکومت برآورد کننده ی آنها نيست، خواستار اجرای مفاد اعلاميه ی حقوق بشر، بدون هيچ حذف و شرط و چون و چرايي، هم در مورد خودشان و هم در مورد کل مردم سرزمين شان باشند>>>

In the process of finding a new transitional global identity, Iran state authorities have steadily continued in the use of legislative delays, reversal of legal means and arrests of dissidents, activists and journalists. Younger, as well as older, women human rights defenders, are now finding themselves victim to increasing intelligence policies of non-disclosure, intimidation and repression. The Islamic Republic of Iran's state detention policies act as only a surrogate solution to many of the social problems now growing inside the country>>>

On February 19, Mark Kirk, a Republican Congressman from Illinois running for a promotion to the US Senate, delivered a speech at the Chicago Council on Global Affairs to share his views on Iran policy. While initial reports didn't indicate anything much new was said by the Representative, who has been calling for a gasoline "quarantine" on Iranians since 2007, audio from the event has just been released that reveals some troubling insights into Kirk's gasoline embargo rationale>>>

Inside the cockpit of an Iran Air Boeing 727, two pilots are quietly maneuvering the passenger plane through the night sky. Captain Shahram Nasseri and his copilot Payman Izadi try to busy themselves with routine cockpit chores, but their tension is clearly visible. They exchange nervous glances at one another. Every few seconds, one of the men looks at his window to look at the two fighter escorts that are flanking them on both sides. Izadi’s headset is lowered and is hanging lose around his neck. A voice can be heard trying to repeatedly hail the flight. It’s an airport tower>>>

A girl with a basket of onions on my hip. That is how they find me. I walk alone beside the field, under the skies of late summer, my shawl slipping to my shoulders. They come, two men on two horses, at full gallop. When they see my skin tanned from the sun and my eyes greener than the onions stalks in my arms, they slow and stop, one to stare and the other to ask. Are you Agha Barzani’s girl? I nod. Just as much as these onions are his onions I am the Agha’s girl I want to say.

زن هر روز ماشینش را در یک کوچه بنبست پارک میکرد و حدود سه دقیقه پیاده میرفت تا به محل کارش برسد. هوا ابری بود. زن فکر کرد:«امروز حتماً بارون میاد.» در میانۀ راه، مردی را دید که به سویش میآید؛ انگار که درخواستی دارد. به چند قدمی هم که رسیدند، با شنیدن صدای آژیر پلیس، مرد لحظهای سرِ جایش ایستاد، خیره به زن نگاه کرد، سپس ناگهان برگشت و با سرعت از او دور شد>>>

با شروع ماه آذر هوا ناگهان رو به سردی گذاشت. آسمان ابری می شد و گاه باران بشکل نم نم شروع به بارش می کرد. ناجی تا چند روز از خانه خارج نشد. او ارتباط خود را با دنیای بیرون از خانه اش قطع کرده بود و حتی به تلفن هم پاسخ نمی داد. پزشک استفاده از مشروبهای الکلی را اکیداً برای او ممنوع کرده بود. تنها پناه او اکنون موسیقی و رویاهایش بودند. دوست داشت فکر کردن به مرگ و انتظار آن را کشیدن تمام ذهن و اندیشه اش را درگیر خود کند اما مرگ تنها گوشه ای از ذهن همیشه فعال او را سرگرم می کرد>>>

So you think Ferdowsi wrote the Shahnameh that is on your coffee table? Well, yes and no. No one knows what happened to Ferdowsi’s original manuscript. We can read the work today because copies were copied from copies by hand in the dim light of oil lamps by scribes who couldn’t read each other’s handwriting. Maybe some of the scribes waxed poetic and thought they could improve on Ferdowsi. A few centuries later the printing press came along and the manuscripts became books, fancy re-prints of which found their way to your coffee table. The result is as follows>>>

چندان شگفت انگیز نخواهد بو د اگرامسال در هشتم ِ مارس و یا در شبِ چهارشنبه سوری، زنان ِ دلیرمان تصمیم بگیرند که اگر چه بصورت سمبولیک ( با آوردن یک روسری ِ یدکی) در یکزمان ِمشخص روسریها و چادرهایشان را به آتش بکشند. این اقدام قطعا با حساسیت ِ رژیم، حرکتی آنی وموقتی خواهد بود اماچه در سطح ِ ایران و چه در سطح جهان نتایج ِ بی نظیری را در بر خواهد داشت. بدون ِ شک با اینعمل دیگر رژیم نمی تواند آنان را با اتهاماتی نظیر ِ "محاربه با خدا" به صلابه بکشد وقطعا این عمل خطرناکتر از آنچه تاکنون بانجام رساند ه اند، نخواهد بود>>>

چندی پیش مقدّ مۀ کتابی به قلم بیلی کالینز، شاعر توانا و ملک الشّعرای آمریکا بین سالهای ۲٠٠۱ تا ۲٠٠۳ به دلائل چندی توجّهم را بشدّت بخود جلب کرد: ابتدا این که شباهت های فراوانی در آن بین شاعران و مدیحه سرایا ن زبان فارسی و انگلیسی و هم چنین بین وظایف ملک الَّشعرا های ایران و انگلستان یافتم. دو دیگر این که علاوه بر آن شباهت ها ، برداشت جدیدی از شعر و تعریف شعر در آن یافتم که کاملاً بدیع، ناشنیده و منطبق با واقعیّات بود>>>
