Iranians: "Iranian Citizens" or "Iranian Aryans"???

It seems Mr. Ahmadinejad is trying to associate himself with Russians and "Iranian Aryans". In reality President Putin of Russia supports Ayatollah Khamnei and not a anti-Russian Pan Turk such as President Ahmadinejad. It is also very funny reporting the event. Nobody reports from a clash in Isfahan or Tehran by saying an "Iranian Girl" was harassed. Ordinarily it is reported a girl is harrassed. What does an "Iranian Girl" is harassed supposed to mean? It seems the regime is trying to mix up "Iranian Aryans" who were ancient Iranian tribes such as Scythians, Persians, Bactrians, Parthians, Alans and others with the current citizens of Iran. By Iranian, the Pan Turks always mean the "citizens of Iran" are the same people as the ancient "Iranian Aryan Tribes".


The mass-protest action started after an Iranian girl was being harassed by the Islamic Republic's "muslim morality police"; the girl who was violating the imposed islamic dress-code resisted arrest and was subsequently physically attacked in a savage way by the "morality police" - this prompted bystanders to take action to free the girl from the regime's security forces - the patrol cars on the scene fled soon after being overwhelmingly outnumbered, leaving behind one of their thugs which was taken care of by the crowd.

Close to AryaShahr of Tehran, in Shahrake-Gharb, there has also been protest actions against the Islamic Republic.

BTW the people of AryaShahr have been in the forefront when it comes to defying the Islamic Republic occupying Iran and during Chaharshanbe Soori celebrations 3 years ago were jumping over bonfires of the portraits of the Islamic Republic's leaders and the Islamic Republic's allah flag!

AryaShahr is a fitting name for a city with such honorable people. God bless them.

Āryāshahr, (current name: Fooladshahr, also known as Pooladshahr) is a small city in Iran, situated 25 km south of Isfahan and about 100 km north of Shahrekord. It was built by the late Shah of Iran, and was home to the mostly Russian and other employees of the Zob Ahan factory, which is located near the city, and was the world's biggest of its kind at the time it was built. The world's third biggest cement factory at the time, the Siman Sepahan or Siman Arya as it was called before the Iranian revolution, is also located near the city.

During the Iran-Iraq war the city and the factories were never bombed by Iraqi bombers, due to the Russian population.

Iranian Shoppers Riot Against Modesty Police
February 26, 2008 12:30 AM

It happens every day on the streets of Tehran: a police squad grabbed a young woman for dressing immodestly. But this time, the young woman fought back, and a crowd defended her and attacked the police. Thanks to cell phone video, the internet, and brave Iranian citizen reporters, Ardeshir Arian is able to tell the story.

The Iranian regime does its best to keep a tight rein on news outlets, but new media — cell phone video, YouTube, and the countless number of blogs and news forums in Farsi — means that when large-scale protests against the regime occur in public they are impossible to completely conceal.

This is apparently what happened over the weekend. Sources have told PJM of a major public uprising over the weekend in Tehran — an account corroborated by other reports on the Web.

This is the story they tell: at approximately 7 pm on Saturday, February 23, the Ershad patrol, or modesty police assigned to enforce clothing regulations, accosted and attempted to arrest a young woman at Goldis Shopping Mall, located in western Tehran, presumably because her dress was not sufficiently modest.

In recent weeks, the police squads charged with enforcing modesty have become more rigorous in their enforcement, with thousands of women detained, questioned, and arrested for violating hijab standards.

Instead of meekly submitting to her fate, the woman fought back. A young man — it is unclear whether he was accompanying her — came to her defense and joined her in fighting the police. In an attempt to subdue — and humiliate him — the police grabbed the young man and threw him into the garbage can nearby.

That was when the large crowd, predominately made up of young people, rose up against the police and attempted to liberate the young woman themselves. Faced with a full-blown riot — complete with angry crowds with garbage cans being set on fire — the frightened police jumped into the van and fled the scene, except for one unfortunate officer who was left behind. The policeman was reportedly attacked and beaten by the mob.

The police returned, reinforced by a full-fledged anti-riot unit. To gain control of the situation, members of the unit fired warning shots into the air and threatened to fire directly into the crowd. There were reports of between 10-15 arrests.

The incident was documented by a cell phone video that was uploaded to YouTube. While the quality of the video is extremely poor, the Farsi narration and background voices were intelligible and translatable.

Among the calls coming from the angry crowd after the police were first driven away:

“You have put us on since 1979 until now,” the crowd cheered after repeating the slogan multiple times.

Another slogan was chanted repeatedly and accompanied by boos: “We do not want the Islamic regime.”

The crowd continuously boos and heckles the police: “A revolution is happening.” When a police vehicle approaches, there is a call: “Look, this guy is entangled too.” “He is going the wrong way.” “What the hell are you going to do?” “How many people do you think you can kill?”

Then, there are cries of “death to the police.”

On the video, the voice of an individual — a citizen reporter — narrates: “They (police) arrested a girl and put her in the van, people rushed to free her from the police custody. The arresting officer let go of her and they started attacking him. The van belonging to the agents left the scene, not wanting to be hit by the people and left that officer behind. People ambushed him as he was running away from them and beat him up badly.”

In a report on the event that appeared on the Iran Press Service web site, student web sites are quoted as saying that “to disperse the angry mob, heavy police and anti-riot units that arrived fired into the air but were met with a crowd of more than 300 people, now chanting slogans against the regime and its leaders, mostly Ayatollah Ali Khameni and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, chanting ‘We don’t want dictatorship,’ ‘We don’t want emergency and martial law.’”

The story comes on the heels of reports of student uprisings. As with this story, the reports are nowhere to be seen in the official Iranian press or the Western media — but by those who are determined that stories of resistance are somehow told.
