WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU, WHO LIVE OUTSIDE IRAN

A PLA FOR HELP FROM SOMEONE WHO LIVES IN IRAN: by Anonymous

WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU, WHO LIVE OUTSIDE IRAN:

First I would like to apologize to you Iranian people who live outside Iran, if I sound demanding….

I am writing this letter from Tehran, while I am in a terrible physical and emotional shape. This also reflects the state of the Iranian people who live inside the country. I strongly believe the country is in a very critical situation-as Napoleon said “between victory and defeat, there is only one step”. We in Iran are hanging within that critical step. Tonight I was on my rooftop, alone. A few houses over, I could hear a young girl chanting “Allah Akbar” from the depth of her being. Her young feminine voice reminded me of Neda, so I gathered my last strength and shouted “Don’t be afraid, we are all together.” But after half an hour, tired, scared, and unable to carry on any more, I chickened out and went down, while she was still scramming from the top of her longs” Irani, Irani, United, United….”

This is what Iranians are chanting these days-believe me – I have touched with all my senses what’s really going on with the people of Iran.  They are scared -the Regime has spread the rumors that the “Basiji” people go around at night and identify homes -and attack the people in the houses if they hear “Allah Akbar” from the rooftop. Yesterday, CNN broadcast a video, in which a few women were under attack and were screaming. This has confirmed people’s fears that homes could be under surveyance and attack by “Basiji” any minute if they go to the rooftops and chant” Allah Akbar”.

Neda’s death has numbed people. Government media has started a psychological war against the people-in every corner of the streets, guards with private clothes are watching the people.

Today I was extremely disappointed when I saw that only a few thousand protesters hit the street on 7^th Tir Square.

I swear we did all we could. The situation is extremely dangerous. Now, my fellow fighters who live outside the country, WE NEED YOUR HELP.  If we don’t get it, well,… we’ll lose-if you don’t help us in this critical moment the enemy with crush us.

1- Today I heard from a few people in the street saying “We can’t win”. Give us hope! Inform us of the positive events and small, hard achieved successes we have achieved so far. Those mean a lot to us-with letting us know the small successes, give us energy.

We know how hard it is to mark this government illegitimate. We also know how difficult it is to unit all Iranians. Today for example, the commander of Tehran’s police was arrested for ignoring the orders to crush the protesters. Isn’t this BIG news? These little events are big and crucial for us now; energize us with broadcasting them.

2-Urge the frightened people of Iran to fight a smart “low cost” fight with the government, such as pulling their moneis from the banks-believe me, the government is making it harder and harder to even wear black for mourning the dead, let alone going on strike.

Please do not criticize us-we did whatever we could- in one week. Figure out how the people, including the villagers could be persuaded to pull out their monies from the banks.

3-do not let the regime crush the will of the people. Why don’t you attack “Fars News” (the regime’s broadcast agency).  I was reading “Fars” today-Don’t let them poison the public with their lies-Do what they do…; install “Plug-In” for FireFax to stop their broadcast.

4-The Regime television has asked the public to send the pictures of the protesters to the Regime. Explain to the public that the pictures are already up on the “Net” As a matter of fact, this is the point of our strength- we should not be moved by their scare tactics.

5- This cunning and deceitful Regime has succeeded in putting the West on he defensive for causing the unrest-ask the media to broadcast OUR news, however incomplete they are- The governments around the world, especially Obama Administration should not take the Regime’s side-should not sell the Iranian people to the regime. The World should be united in their request for a new election from the Regime. The World should hear us and understand us. Lack of support from the West for Ahmadi Nejad is extremely helpful for us. Tell Obama “Please do not sell us to Ahmadi Nejad, because, at the end, he can’t be trusted”

6- The possibility of Mousavi, Karrobi, and Khatami’s arrest increases every day-ask the Western media to make these arrest very, very costly for the Regime.
