Sporadic clashes have continued, on Wednesday, in several Iranian universities, such as, Tehran, Hamedan and Zanjan by leading to more injured or arrested among maverick protesters.

In several areas, such as in Tehran, Islamic regime forces have resorted to the use of knives and air-shooting in order to create fear and put a stop on the protest movement.

The Islamic regime's security forces have been deployed inside the universities, around the dorms and in the neighboring avenues in order to smash any future protest action. Official security forces and plain clothes agents are monitoring the accesses to the universities and arresting suspected sutudents' supporters.

More and more radical slogans are shouted by the students calling for the trial or even execution of the Islamic regime's leadership, including its Supreme Leader.

The situation is very tense and the students have called for more protest gatherings later this evening.

Already, yesterday, several students were critically injured during clashes that happened, today, in several Iranian universities. A student has several broken bones as he was thrown from the balcony, of the Tehran's Amir-Abad University Dorm, by a member of the Islamist Para-Military Bassij Force.

The students were attacked as they exited from the univeristy in order to stage a peaceful protest against the persistent repression in Iran. Slogans, such as, "Down with Dictator", "Down with Islamic Republic", "Freedom, Freedom" were shouted by the students.

Tens of supporters joined the students following the brutal attack, by the Islamist militiamen, and responded to their use of clubs and chains by pieces of stones resulting in the injuries of several plainclothes agents.

Students of several universities, such as, Tehran, Ahvaz, Hamedan, Zahedan, Tabriz and Mashad participated in the protest .

Continuano gli scontri nelle università iraniane

Scontri sporadici sono avvenuti anche oggi in alcune città, quali Tehran, Hamedan e Zanjan, risultando in numerosi feriti ed arrestati tra i manifestanti.

In alcune aree di Teheran, la polizia islamica ha sparato in aria per disperdere la folla.

La polizia è stata anche schierata intorno alle università, impedendo l'accesso agli studenti ed ai loro sostenitori.

Molti studenti hanno intonato slogan chiedendo il processo e l'esecuzione dei leader della repubblica islamica, tra i quali il leader supremo.

La situazione è molto tesa e gli studenti hanno convocato altre proteste per questa notte.

Anche ieri un gruppo di studenti era rimasto ferito durante scontri con la polizia.

Studenti feriti in alcune università iraniane

Alcuni studenti sono rimasti gravemente feriti durante scontri avvenuti oggi in alcune università iraniane. Uno studente è stato lanciato da una finestra del dormitorio dell'università Amir-Abad di Teheran, da parte di un miliziano islamista dei Bassiji.

Gli studenti sono stati aggrediti dopo essere usciti nel cortile dell'università per protestare pacificamente contro la persistente repressione in Iran. Sono stati urlati alcuni slogan , come , ad esempio: "Abbasso il dittatore", "Abbasso la Repubblica Islamica" e "Libertà, Libertà".

Nel vedere l'aggressione islamista, alcuni passanti sono corsi in difesa degli studenti ed hanno lanciato pietre agli islamisti, ferendone alcuni.

Studenti di altre università di Tehran, Ahvaz, Hamedan, Zahedan, Tabriz e Mashad, hanno partecipato a simili proteste ed intendono continuare anche domani.

I miliziani della repubblica islamica sono stati incaricati di occupare le università, circondare i dormitori e bloccare le strade limitrofe in modo da scongiurare le prossime proteste.

US gives up asylum seeker to Islamic regime
SMCCDI (Information Service)
May 14, 2006, 00:05

http://daneshjoo.org/publishers/currentnews/article_5789.shtml

Un-confirmed reports are stating about the role of the US Government in the forced return of an Iranian asylum seeker to the Islamic regime. Majid Kavoosi, was handed by the US Embassy, in UAE, to the Interpol which handed him, in its turn, to the Islamic republic regime.

According to the same sources, Kavoosi had handed several secret files to the US Embassy based on promises of granting him asylum.

The latter risks the death sentence for his role in the murder of a notorious repressive Islamist judge who was known for having ordered the executions of tens of freedom fighters. In addition, Kavoosi was part of a guerilla group which was seeking the overthrow of the Islamic regime and which was involved in several attacks against the regime's symbols of political and financial power. 

An increasing number of exasperated Iranians are resorting to the use of violent actions in response to the Islamic regime use of bullets or issuance of harsh sentences against any kind of real democratic movement or genuine peaceful uprising,

It seems that Kavoosi, as like as many opponents to the Islamic regime, had literally trusted this message of President Bush stating that "the day that the Iranian People chose to stand up, they won't have a better ally than the US!"

The hand over of Kavoosi coincides with rumors stating about some 'non-official' visits, of Iran, made by Americans close to the Pentagon and the State Department. If confirmed, such news would be an additional blow to the trust that many Iranians have placed in the American Administration and its claim of intending to promote Human Rights and Democracy in the region.

Already, other rumors are circulating among the Iranian opposition on the existence of a kind of "Iran Opposition Black List" and the influence exerted by some WDC based think tank circles, on part of the American media, US legislators and the State Department, in order to boycott genuine Iranian secularist opposition groups or to avoid granting them of any kind of financial support. Concerted efforts have been undertaken, in that line, in order to promote and finance docile Iranian individuals or groups which are ready to follow any kind of instruction.  

Italian version

Gli Usa spediscono un rifugiato politico nelle mani del regime islamico

Voci non confermate parlano del ruolo del governo americano nel rimpatrio di un rifugiato politico iraniano in Iran. Majid Kavoosi è stato prelevato dalla ambasciata americana negli Emirati Arabi Uniti e consegnato all'Interpol, che a sua volta lo ha consegnato nelle mani dei Mullah. Kavoosi faceva parte di un gruppo armato dedicato al rovesciamento del regime islamico e responsabile di attacchi armati contro simboli politici e finanziari del regime.

Kavoosi aveva consegnato alcuni documenti segreti all'ambasciata americana in cambio di protezione ed asilo politico.

Ora rischia di essere giustiziato, per via del suo ruolo nell'uccisione di un brutale giudice islamico colpevole di aver giustiziato decine di dissidenti. Un numero sempre maggiore di iraniani stanno ricorrendo a metodi violenti di lotta in risposta alle azioni repressive dei miliziani islamisti. Pochi credono ancora che il regime possa cadere in maniera pacifica.

Kavoosi è uno dei tanti dissidenti iraniani che avevano creduto al messaggio del presidente Bush quando diceva che "ogni qualvolta gli iraniani vorranno ribellarsi, gli Usa gli andranno incontro".

Il rimpatrio di questo dissidente coincide con voci non confermate che parlano di visite in Iran fatte da americani vicini al Pentagono ed al Dipartimento di Stato. se confermate, queste voci non fanno che alimentare la delusione degli iraniani verso un'amministrazione che ha sempre parlato di voler promuovere democrazia e diritti umani nel medio oriente.

Circolano addirittura voci che alcuni think-tank americani con sede a Washington, alcuni giornalisti, politici e ufficiali del Dipartimento di Stato, starebbero stilando una "lista nera dell'opposizione" che prevede la non concessione di fondi ed aiuti finanziari ai pochi e genuini movimenti laici e democratici che si battono concretamente per la fine del regime islamico. Invece, si dice che siano pronti a finanziare alcuni personaggi dal passato ambiguo, gente che fino a poco tempo fa stava col regime e che ora si fa passare per 'moderato'.

Millions spent to show Indonesian support for Ahmadinejad
SMCCDI (Information Service)

http://daneshjoo.org/publishers/currentnews/article_5784.shtml

Millions of dollars have been spent, by the Islamic regime's intelligence, in order to show an Indonesian support for Ahmadinejad, at the occasion of his trip to this country. The spent sum, estimated at over 12 millions of dollars, was in addition to the lucrative governmental contracts and the Islamic regime's promise of building a costly oil refinery in this country.

This propaganda money, along with hundreds of shipped posters of Ahmadinejad and various favorable placards for various demonstrations, were distributed via some of the Indonesian Islamic centers and working circles which are on the payroll of the Islamic regime's intelligence. They were allocated to show a 'massive Muslim support' of Ahmadinejad and his regime to some naive reporters who are often disseminating face value news in reference to Iran.

The Islamic regime intelligence has millions of dollars of deposits in several banks placed under the Indonesian juridiction.

Italian version

Spesi milioni per la propaganda pro-ahmadinejad in Indonesia

Il regime islamico ha speso milioni di dollari per comprare una folla di sostenitori indonesiani durante la visita di Ahmadinejad in Indonesia. La cifra, che si aggira attorno ai 12 milioni di dollari, si aggiunge agli accordi economici ed alla promessa di aiutare gli indonesiani a costruire una raffineria petrolifera.

Questi soldi, ma anche gli striscioni ed i manifesti pro-ahmadinejad in mano agli studenti indonesiani, sono stati spediti tramite alcuni centro islamici indonesiani al soldo della repubblica islamica. Lo scopo principale è far credere alla stampa occidentale ed a giornalisti senza scrupoli che Ahmadinejad e la repubblica islamica godono di un vasto consenso nella regione.

La repubblica islamica possiede milioni di dollari depositati in banche indonesiane.

A senior Islamist militia commander was killed, on Saturday,  by 'unknown assailants' according to the Islamic republic's official sources.

The victim, named Hassan Mohammad-Poor, was killed while driving in the Tapeh Zibashahr road of the Golestan province located in northeast Iran.

No details about the attack,  nor any information on the identity and fate of the 'assailants' have been communicated; but the attack confirms the increasing use of violence against the Islamic regime's symbols of power and agents by an increasing number of exasperated Iranians.

Italian version

Miliziano islamista ucciso nel nord Iran

Fonti ufficiali del regime islamico hanno dato notizia dell'uccisione, da parte di sconosciuti, del comandante locale delle milizie islamiste.

La vittima, Hassan Mohammad-Poor , è stata uccisa mentre transitava per la via Tapeh Zibashahr, nel Golestan, una provincia dell'Iran nord-orientale.

Non ci sono dettagli circa la metodologia dell'attacco, l'identità dei responsabili ed il loro destino; tuttavia, l'attacco conferma l'aumento della violenza da parte di iraniani esasperati contri i simboli e gli agente del regime islamico. Fenomeno, questo, in costante aumento.
