After the battle

The following is a compilation of emails received since Saturday June 20th when unseen before scenes of massive civil unrest stroke the country as government Militia used extreme violence to crackdown on mass rally organized that day in defiance of Khamenei's order to stop them.

Hi

I feel better today.

Yes, there were rallies, especially in Tehran (Sunday june 28th). We expected this result from "guardian council”. We have a good proverb in Persian:"They asked a fox: Where is your witness? He answered: Here's my tail!”

Every body knows that this council supports Ahmadinejad, because they are chosen by supreme leader. Mousavi and Karrubi haven’t stated anything up to now. It’s suspicious!

Some people are disappointed but others think nothing has changed and we must keep the protest.

The most important thing at this time is conditions of prisoners. They torture prisoners cruelly. Some of them released and revealed tortures.

Ahmadinejad made a huge propaganda against American prison in Iraq and horrible tortures. Nobody can believe these barbarians torture their innocent compatriots so savagely.

Hi

I must strengthen myself mentally. Even I can’t laugh at all.Every night, I remember students in dormitory, students who are in horrible jails now, girls and boys in secret graves...

who wants to take revenge?! I cant consentrate on my work. Instead of demonstrations we must take state TV. Every day they make lots of false stories and feed mindless people.

I was so depressed and I needed to share my feelings with somebody but even I couldn’t explain anything.

I was in Tehran on “Baharestan” sq last Wednesday (June 24th). The number of protesters wasn’t as much as previous days. There were huge number of armed forces. I’m not exaggerating every meter a military. Shops were half closed. Shop keepers had stayed in their shops but had closed the doors. Armies start striking with cables, battons and iron rods. They even beat ordinary people who were passing on sidewalk. I saw an old man, his neck was livid and got heart attack. Two rows of militaries were standing on two sides of side walks and streets to control people. They made a frightening noise through knocking their battons to their shields when people were passing between them. They didn’t allow us to stand a moment or use cell phones and public phones. They checked up peoples’ stuff randomly. I wasn’t worried about dying. It’s just a moment. I was really worried about arrest. I know conditions of women in Iran prisons are worse than men. Rape is usual, especially in these unknown underground prisons.

Before sunset the crowd dispersed. There were hundreds of military vans and motorcyclists who had taken off their motorcycles plaques in all central streets. There were scattered small demonstrations on Thursday. I came back on Friday. I’m not seriously damaged, but mentally I was shattered. I lost 7 kilos weight just in 3 week! Now, generally I’m ok.

I told about the real number of killed on Saturday rally in yesterday email. This morning one of my friends told me her brother is in army for military service, he had seen about 3 vans full of dead bodies in his garrison. I am sure they’ll burry them furtively. God, their families are looking for them. Families hope, they are in prison not in en masse graves.

Generally people are disappointed and depressed. Economic conditions are awful. The society is brimful of aversion and unreliability. We can trust no one because of informers and tapping of phones. We expect everything. We can predict nothing.

Rallies are almost over. But this movement is as like as a river and will find its way.

Hi

How are you?

finally I could over come my horrible depression this evening(to some extent) They stop our demonstrations in the streets so we'll stay at home and fight!

when I was in Tehran I heard the number of killed protesters on last saturday's rally (Saturday 20th june) was more than a hundred persons!! My friends asked ambulance drivers and hospital officials. Some drivers told them,When they carried dead bodies 2 basijis had come with them and had taken them to strange and ruined places, not hospitals.It's not the first time the regime does such a thing.In the 1980s they killed thousands of members of "mojahedin" group without trial. They burried them beside each other in every city.Then they ruined some of these areas when "UN" asked about them.That story repeats. The similarities with Islamic revolution goes up on and on.

Hi

thank you very much for emails. Last night I could’nt sleep at all.

the weather is windy here, so satellite signals are cut off.

I'm in a terrible mood today.I'm tired of news.

I don't know what should I do:go to Tehran and throw stones, stay here and send emails to others,...

thinking is useless because nothing is reasonable now.

I'm so confused and disappointed.

you see protesters and say we can win, but I see a great percent of population who still believe in this regime.Iran society is becoming bipolar, protestors and supporters of regime. protesters are not much more than supporters..... I can’t think now.

sorry, I'm not very strong

I can't find nothing especial about today.The number of protesters in sunday's demonstration was fewer than today.It's natural after that savage repression of saturday. Mousavi still calls people for demonstration. But the situation is actually complicated. Deposed Pahlavi king's son has stated his support for Mousavi and also Mojahedin group (a terrorist group). These things are damaging for Mousavi and protesters. This situation provide conditions for all oppositions of Iran government from all over the world. Their purposes are different from us and maybe they get us in more trouble.

Hi

Last night I couldn’t sleep well. I couldn’t forget Neda’s eyes and the way she was looking. May be she couldn’t believe her death coming so soon, such blitzing, and so unjust.

Finally I fell asleep. I saw a dream. There was a tiny cage with two canaries in it. The cage was too small for them. Then I saw a hand that caught canaries and bring them out. They were trying to pull themselves out, but the hand put them in a bigger cage! Suddenly, I saw the tiny cage became full of hundreds of very small canaries. The hand tried to do the same thing with them and placed some of them in big cage but they were very small so they could run away from rods. The canaries were multiplying on and on. The hand could do nothing!

I hope my dream come in true before dying of any other Neda
