What is There to Celebrate?

by Shahrzad Arshadi

 

11 February 2009 will mark the 30th anniversary of Iran’s Islamic revolution!

 

I cannot believe it has already been 30 years!  Only thinking about these 30 years makes me cry.  My heart is aching!

There are nights I wish that when I opened my eyes in the morning, I could take a deep breath and say to myself, whoa, what a nightmare!  Unfortunately, what happened to Iran is a horrible reality!  I am not dreaming!

 

 

 

Why are they Afraid of the Dead?

Have you read this news?


“Last night, at midnight, a number of plain-clothes officers attacked the Baha’i Cemetery in Qa’emshahr with a lorry and a bulldozer; and set out to remove the tombstones and to level the ground,  According to a report from the Human Rights Activists Group in Iran, electricity had been completely cut off in the whole area during this undertaking, and a shot was fired in the air when someone from the neighborhood was caught witnessing the activities.  The witness was then seized, his hands and feet were tied up, and he was left alone in this condition in a remote area of the cemetery.
