Call of youths of region 20 of Tehran for uprising on Feast of Fire, March 15

Tehran- March 13, 2011
The brave youths of region 20 of Tehran issued a statement calling all Iranians for uprising on Feast of Fire Day.
“Close to the national day of Feast of Fire, the youths of Iran nationwide will raise the flames of uprising and call people to join in overthrowing the tyrant of the time.
One call says: “the up-rooting flood of uprisings will not stop” and another says: “rise to hold the Feast of Fire more glorious than ever”.
Regime intends to turn the phrase of ‘Feast of Fire’ to ‘the last Wednesday of the Year’ to wipe it out of memories but Iranians especially the brave and freedom loving youths of Iran will make the regime tremble in each protesting move especially in Feast of Fire.
About Feast of Fire Khamenei has said: “this ceremony has no canonical legitimacy and carries along lots of corruption and damage and it must be prevented”.
Some of Marjas (clerics that people refer to in religious issues and carry out their decrees about the issues) in Qom called this ceremony as ‘worshiping fire’.
… We the youths of region 20 of Tehran have decided to give a good lesson of patriotism and love for freedom to the despotic rulers of Iran.
We will torch the ominous pictures of Khamenei and other heads of the regime and Bassijies’ motorbikes where ever we find them to torch the house of Velayat so that we can hold the feast of freedom and emancipation from tyranny as glorious as possible.
Let’s raise the flame of seeking freedom higher and higher.
Death to Khamenei- Viva freedom
A group of youths of region 20 of Tehran”

Khamenei! You are doomed to FALL

Khamenei! You are doomed to FALL

Regime threatens in vein

Tehran – Despite all threats and bans of clerical dictatorship people are vastly buying Feast of Fire utensils such as firecrackers, hand-made grenades and etc and are getting ready for the night in Tehran.
This has aroused fear amongst regime’s suppressive forces.
Regime’s measures in regard with strangling the uprising of Feast of Fire before it begins, is defeated.

Bazaar of kidney in Iran

Tehran- March 13, 2011
Due to the poverty imposed on Iranian people by the religious fascism ruling Iran many poor people have no other choice than selling their kidneys to be able to make a living.
On the other hand the high cost of treatment in Iran has made one million tomans much less than adequate for any serious treatment.
These two phenomena have opened a market for trade of human kidney which is sold as high as 10 million tomans.
Mehr state-run news agency wrote on March 9: “ineffectual kidneys are one the most common threats for people’s lives. Research shows that about 10 to 15 million Iranians are suffering from kidney problems without even being aware of it”.
Mostafa Ghasemi the head of Charity Association for Supporting Kidney Patients announced that the number of these patients has risen 15 to 17 percent.

Regime’s forces on state of alert

Tehran- March 13, 2011
From Sunday March 13 because of Feast of Fire Day and potential uprising on that day regime has put all its military and disciplinary forces on state of alert for 72 hours.

Youths’ reaction to regime in internet

Tehran- March 13, 2011
Internet users confronting the censorship and oppression of the clerical regime in regard with internet and social networks are taking the uprising on Feast of Fire as widespread as possible into Iranian society.
By confronting the filtering, hacking and other dirty tools of censorship internet users are conveying the calls and news of the uprising to the people using Twitter, Facebook and etc. raising more fear amongst regime’s mercenaries. Some of these messages are:
- We will raise fire on Feast of Fire and burn Khamenei in it.
- After Mubarak and Ben Ali, now its Seyyed Ali’s palace that is on fire.
- Feast of Fire is a day of combat, a day to burn shame. Light up high the fire and defeat the dictator.
- We had made the firecrackers ready but with new detonators. We’ll confront you on Feast of Fire.
- Until we reach the Norooz of freedom each night will be Feast of Fire.
- This years Feast of Fire will be the echo of regime’s fall. This Norooz will echo freedom.
- Dear friends don’t lose the precious opportunity of Feast of Fire. Doing anything else other than participating in the uprising is wasting time.
- Each bush that we torch this year, we will make it a torch for freedom. We will fill Iran with these torches.
- Khamenei is frightened and has issued a Fatwa that (Feast of Fire) is Haram! But the youths say regime is done with! With the quest of the youths this regime is overthrown! The sound of firecrackers is just a minimum on Feast of Fire.

Regime’s reactions to Feast of Fire Day

Tehran- March 13, 2011
There is only a few days left to Feast of Fire and the flaming uprising of Iranians against the clerical dictatorship.
Having a glance on regime’s reactions to this day one can see who much it is afraid of the coming uprising.
Despite former years that the criminal Friday Imams dedicated their last speech before Feast of Fire to provoke fear and horror amongst youths in that regard, in the last Friday Prayer of Tehran and other cities there was no sign of such warnings.
This is in regard with what Ahmadi Moghadam the head of SSF pointed to last week in regime’s TV and said that they had reached this conclusion that any kind of propaganda against Feast of Fire will have negative result. This is admitting to the fact that regime has really reached a dead-end in regard with the uprisings.
But still regime’s media has aghast reactions:
Pasdar Alireza Akbar Shahi the head of SSF in Tehran and Alborz Provinces said on Thursday March 10: “the parents must stay beside their children on the last Wednesday of the year and use firecrackers that are produced under the supervision of Defense Ministry…”
Tehran’s governor said: “we have three main solutions for the ceremony of the last Wednesday of the year; confronting entrance and distribution of substandard igneous material, general education and confronting the violators”.
In Mashahad the prosecutor of the city said: “using, carrying and storing explosive material is a crime. Using any kind of igneous and flammable material in a way that will raise fear and will cause physical and mental damage as well as disrupting public order are crimes”.
The most ridiculous of all is the saying of Pasdar Colonel Taghi Irvani the so-called head of Preservation of Woods and Pastures who was even horrified of torching the bushes and said: “in Feast of Fire, unfortunately some use pastures’ belongings such as bushes for making a fire and jumping over it. If the preservation unit sees such violators it will punish them and will not bear the destruction of natural sources for fun!”

Call for uprising in Ahwaz on Feast of Fire

Ahwaz- March 13, 2011
“We will start the uprising from 18 till after midnight in Ahwaz in Zaiton Karmandi region…We can organize and get hold of the streets…”

No Khamenei’s banner

Sistan & Balouchestan- March 13, 2011
Recently all banners of Khamenei have been collect from public in Sistan & Balouchestan.
This has no meaning other than the regime is afraid that these banners will be torched on Feast of Fire uprising.

Tehran- March 11, 2011

Compatriots!
The risen youths of Iran!
Let’s make higher the undaunted flames of seeking freedom on the Feast of Fire.
Facing the uprisings in the Middle East, Khamenei had to omit Rafsanjani.
This deadly schism made regime downfall peremptory.
The new era of change and revolution will give no time to the decrepit religious despotism.
Iran’s uprising will flame higher on Feast of Fire.
The nation of uprising!
The Key to progress and victory is welcoming all challenges, and it is in your hands,
Raise the flames of uprising in the national Iranian feast.
Ali Saremi, Jafar Kazemi and Mohammad Ali Haj Aghaee (three supporters of PMOI who were recently executed) fall for freedom; their message ‘100 times more fray’.
The religious despotism will fall by not compromising and by maximum offence and sacrifice.
The storms of uprisings will not stop until the fascism of Velayat-e-Faghieh is overthrown.
The auspicious spring of Iran will prevail.
Rise in the national Feast of Fire!
Hold higher the uneasy flames of seeking freedom.
The weary regime of Velayat-e-Feghieh will fall.
The spring of the land of Iran is near.
Death to Khamenei- Viva freedom- Hail to Rajavi

The call of youths of Sadeghieh and Aryashahr for uprising

Tehran- March 11, 2011
A group of youths of Sadeghieh and Aryashahr region issued a statement calling for uprising on Feast of Fire Day.
Their call reads in part: “…What we should think about and must tell the others is that there is no movement or revolution that can be victorious without paying the price for it. We must put our individual interests aside and think about the freedom of our homeland which would benefit us all.
The Feast of Fire Day is the best time for offense and gaining great experiences. We will experience on this day that how our offense will make the mercenaries of Khamenei helpless and will defeat them.
On this day we must conquer the streets and loudly cry for freedom so that the world would know that when the youths and women of Iran make their wills, dictator and his mercenaries cannot stop them.
We must defeat them so that they will no longer dare to suppress the nation of Iran and its women and girls with the money that they have stolen from our own pockets.
…Be ware that in any confrontation those who offend are victorious and will defeat the enemy.
The victory is those who sacrifice themselves, are not afraid and bravely stand up with the enemy and make it retreat”.

This student has been sent to the infirmary despite the fact that prison doctors have announced that they do not have the necessary facilities to assess the nature of the tumor or the facilities to treat it.
Tarlani’s father, who has to go to Kerman every month from Tehran to see his son from behind a glass partition for 20 minutes, can only ask about his son’s condition during this short visit. He has gone to various institutions to follow up his son’s treatment and for them to carry out the necessary examinations to assess the nature of the tumor but he has only heard empty promises and no measures have been carried out for his treatment. Tarlani’s family is very concerned for his health.

Political prisoner Alborz Qasemi passed away in prison last year after being denied cancer treatment and jailed Bazaar merchant Mohsen Dokmehchi is currently suffering from cancer but has been denied treatment.
