The shame continues...

It seems that the Iranian government has set up an unidentified "Bureau of missing persons" that would provide information on the fate of the poor disappeared during the events of recent days. It works this way: the families of the disappeared are being called to the morgue in the country. Officials find that the corpse is in the list of deceased. If the victim is on the list, the family members must sign a document that certifies that their relative is dead in a car accident. " If the family does not sign, it will return the corpse.

NO COMMENT!!!

I see you are a Farsi speaker. Please listen to these audio files: http://www.zandiq.com/pandiq/0000000003.shtml
These audios that are in Farsi have been recorded in a government meeting In Iran. Someone has leaked them out. In these audios you hear government tactic in putting down demonstration. Specifically listen to Tape # 7. Government has its secret agents in the crowd or at the university. In Tape # 7 you hear the government talking about paying people to film the protest; they will then use the film to arrest and convict people. In Tape # 7 you also hear government admit putting their secret agent in the crowd so they can lead the demonstration to specified streets where government security forces are waiting to crush demonstration. Please send these audios to every Iranian you know and to all bloggers in Iran.

once again, no context for the content. the documentary is mostly done from the political prisoners of "Left" back in 1980's. I've studied many of the reports, interviews, and writings throughout the years and the majority of the stories (tortures) are verifiable except the "rape" rumors. I'm pretty sure there were incidents that rape or gang rape occurred but it wasn't a "policy" per se.


Megan,

Thank you for the link. I would love to get my hands on the "videos" that are being showed to the committee.

To Anonymous,

If you listen to Tape # 6, the speaker describes that they bought the said video for 100,000 Toman (about $1000) from a student. I am assuming the said video or at least part of it is on youtube.

What I find chilling is how deep government has infiltrated opposition movement and that is why no protest has generated any success for the past thirty years. Please listen to tape # 7 and # 8 and there you hear more about how to infiltrate the crowd as a protester and use mobile phone to communicate with security forces. Or how to recruit and pay handsomely photographers of opposition newspapers to work as their agent. After listening to these tapes I wonder if any staff member for the opposition candidates were dirty. The government has vast amount of cash and you hear in tape #8 they are bribing trainees who are the head of security agencies and Ministry of Information for cities across Iran with free trips, etc. Also in tape # 8 they talk about using scare tactics, for example, by announcing on TV or in newspapers that thousands of security forces will be stationed in demonstration routes when it is not. They brag about the success of this kinds of scare tactics in the past.

It is either In Tape # 4 or # 5 they talk about ways to shut down one’s campaign for an elected office if the candidate is suspected not to be onboard with the direction of central government.

These tapes make me sick to my stomach because I now know why a million strong march in Tehran alone was quelled so effectively. It makes me sick because I have listened to the training manual that led to thousands possibly under torture as I write these words in the safety of my home office. It makes you feel guilty to sleep at night, does it not???????????

I'm going through each audio presentation trying to piece together their sanguinary methodologies. I might even take on a task of translating some of them except that they use a lot of Arabic jargon to sugar coat their rhetoric.

No Megan, I don't feel guilty but rather more determine to expose these pernicious elements to those who are either indifferent or leaning toward the status quo. Changing the game, one impressionable mind at a time. In either case, if you find the related videos, please do share.

These could be planted as well. It could be that there isn't as much infiltration as they're claiming, and these are intended to create distrust and break up the movement.

Ӏ thinκ whаt уou postеԁ was асtuаlly very logіcal.
However, сonsіdеr this, suрpose уоu wеre tο
write a killеr ροst title? I am not saying your сontent isn't solid, however what if you added something that makes people desire more? I mean "Revolutionary Brief..." is kinda plain. You ought to peek at Yahoo'ѕ frοnt
pаge and see hoω they wгіte poѕt titles to grab people
intеrеsted. You might add a relаted vіdeo or а relаteԁ pіc οr two to grab reаders interested abоut eνегything've written. Just my opinion, it could bring your posts a little bit more interesting.
