Vartan Salakhanian | 20.06.2009 11:32 | Repression | Social Struggles | Workers' Movements | World

The eruption of mass protest across Iran has saw Iran’s youth at the forefront of the struggle and have suffered greatly at the hands of the security forces. Below is a sample of what students and young people are facing in Iran now, we also list the imprisoned, missing and now released students. No doubt these lists will expand as the hours go on, and is not comprehensive.

“Mostafa ghanian’s body, an engineering student, was burried on thursday with a high security at the Imam reza shrine. the security guards, at the time of mostafa’s death, had kept his family uninformed. they delievered mostafas body and asked his family to sign a commitment before they could have the body. in this funeral which took place with the participation of many people and his family, none of the students were present. it is important to say that this student ( mostafa ) had gone up to the roof of his house after hearing the sound og gun fire and shootings in order to see what has happened, and therefore is shot dead by the BASIJ powers.

ballz, selling papers is on nobody's mind at the moment, when you have come out from whatever rock you live under you will see that this campaign, which has support from diverse political organisation and individuals including anarchists, has built up practical solidarity from day one.

Every one of us reds are opportinists with identical politics, and we really secretly don't care what happens to our comrades in iran as long as the paper sales are up

lets just ignore all those people being threatened for their political beliefs in this and other countries and have done with the whole struggle against oppression..

sarcasm mode off.
