• Video:Interview With Saeed Valadbaygi on SKYTG24!

• Youtube link

In English:

Simona Vasta:
“He is called Saeed, however his true name remains a mystery, especially for the Intelligence of the Iranian regime that has opened the hunting bloggers, guilty of telling the world what is really happening in Iran and prove it through amateur dramatic videos that, before ending up on u-tube, are often posted on Saeed’ blog. In the network he and his Revolutionary Road have become a point of reference for international media and the voice of Saeed is perhaps the only independent that you can hear from Tehran even if through a lot of precautions”.

Saeed Valadbaygi:
The real face of the Islamic Republic has emerged and led people to protest and chant anti-government slogans. People desire a free society that respects human rights and they know that all these are being denied in the Islamic republic. Initially protests were peaceful but after people getting attacked by security forces, the situation totally has changed . At last protests turned into a massive street war.
Moussavi was Khomeini 's Prime Minister during Iran-Iraq war era and as a policy there is not much difference between him and Ahmadinejad in my opinion.

We recognize Moussavi and Rafsanjani as leaders and supporters of the Islamic Republic, we believe that their duty is to keep the allies of the Islamic Regime rather than meeting people's desire. Ahmadinejad supports the radical and fundamentalist Islamic leadership so always defends politic decisions of Khamenei.

The situation in Iran prisons needs to be concerned , in addition to political prisoners who already are in jail recently a big number of political activists and journalists has added.The other factor is the torture and infuriating interrogations. State prisons and hospitals have not publicized names of dead prisoners . There are just few countries which attack and mistreat and even kill their own people as the Islamic Republic does.

In addition to the anti-riot police, Islamic Republic also has Revolution Guards and Basij. During the recent protests we have seen that the Basij and the Revolution Guards among the most repressive and authoritarian regime's forces.
Protests have not stopped. In the past few days we have seen demonstrations in Tehran, radical slogans against the regime and even fights at nights which continue in Tehran and some other cities.
People's peaceful demonstrations have already been changed to aggressive and violent demonstrations and there are some real clashes between armed forces and people and that is happening because people has lost support and leadership of the so-called leaders.
Actually we do not expect much from these kind of leaders and to be in the events and among the people because they always have accompanied by the armed forces and in the next few days we will be witnessing even more huge gatherings...
